Kris Aquino apologizes to ex-boyfriend and family

Kris Aquino has again spoken about her separation from former boyfriend, Dr. Mike Padlan.

In a series of Instagram photos, the Queen of All Media addressed reactions to her previous breakup announcement, clarifying details and apologizing for any misunderstandings.

Kris began by reaffirming the truth of her initial statement and admitting it was written during a time of loneliness and anger.

“I did pay for his services as a travel doctor. This was in May 2022. Dr. Mike Padlan wasn’t the doctor who accompanied me on the flight to Houston. Yet I didn’t ask for a refund,” she clarified. “After our [Kuya Josh, Bimby,and me] bout with Covid, Bimb and I were Covid long haulers- Dr. Padlan did go to Houston to check on me.”

The celebrity mom acknowledged that she unintentionally left out key details in her previous post, which led to mixed reactions from Dr. Mike and his family.

“My mistake is that I failed to state that he flew to LA around [four times] more on his own… I didn’t ask for him to check on me, I would just be surprised that he’d be there. Those visits weren’t paid for, nag abono pa nga siya. Doc Mike I APOLOGIZE for NOT STATING THIS IN MY EARLIER POST,” she admitted.

Despite their breakup, Kris expressed gratitude for Dr. Mike’s dedication to her health. She recalled how reassuring it was to have him by her side during some of her lowest moments.

She stated, “In him, I saw what I had been looking for – Someone I could discuss my medical issues with, my feeling of fatigue, my lack of balance, my suffering from suddenly getting dizzy then collapsing, the significance of blood draw results, the bones jutting out my knee, and why had my taste buds changed… ”

During her time abroad, Kris bonded with Dr. Mike’s sister and adorable children, whom she called “Pokemon” and “Lego.” The actress shared how these kids brought joy into her life, as well as Josh and Bimby’s.

” I miss Pokemon and Lego SO MUCH,” Kris wrote.

“Mama Kris is VERY SORRY for making you angry and sad because of what I posted. I was wrong in not considering the impact it would have on both of you. You both brought sunshine and laughter when I most needed it. I know I am no longer deserving to be your Mama Kris. BUT even if I had known things would end up this way – except for hurting the two of you, your mommy, and your tita Judith- I would still have chosen to give loving one more attempt; I can say that because I got the chance to love you.”

The actress then reflected on her shattered expectations of a happy ending with Dr. Mike and his family. She admitted that as her health deteriorated, her ex-boyfriend began to “retreat.”

Kris also confirmed that while Dr. Mike did face financial struggles last year, it was unfair to pin the blame on her. She revealed that she had extended help during his difficult times, which he had gratefully acknowledged.

In the end, Kris shared that despite her efforts to fight for their relationship, Dr. Mike chose to walk away. Both of them tried to part ways peacefully.

“Nobody should be blamed, I’m not ashamed to admit, I was the one who loved and needed more,” she said.

Kris previously made an update about her health and her relationship, revealing she and her surgeon boyfriend, Mike Padlan, have broken up after six months since they began their relationship.

“During this time of uncertainty, [I] choose to share MY PAINFUL TRUTH. [T]he doctor [I] loved left me because he wanted the freedom to travel, to break free from needing to care for & the reality of KRIS AQUINO who had multiplying autoimmune diseases with so few treatment options,” she said.

“Enough time has passed: he did not love me. In my defense, he did receive the correct professional fees–even when we were a couple. End of that chapter,” Kris continued, adding how she was never afraid to admit the truth.

Her post was followed by a reaction from Dr. Mike’s son, Miguel Lorenzo Padlan.

Miguel shared, “The truth is simple, yes, my father and Mama Kris separated because the spark between them was gone. However, that does not mean my father never loved her. He truly did. Their relationship was real, and he cared deeply for her. But love alone is not always enough to make a relationship last forever. Sometimes, two people are simply not meant to be together in the long run, no matter how much they once loved each other.”
