The family of Kris Aquino had opposed her marriage to cager James Yap five years ago because of their 10-year age gap. “Kung tutuusin (Truth be told), we were also not really for the marriage.
First of all, the age difference,” said Kris’ sister, Viel Aquino-Dee, in an interview aired over GMA News’ “24 Oras” Monday. The interview was conducted a day after Yap’s mother, Annie Yap, said she was not in favor of her son’s marriage with Kris because of their different economic status.
Sa totoo lang, tutol talaga ako. Alam mo naman si Kris. Iba kami. Mahirap lang kami, sila mayaman (I was not in favor of their relationship because she’s from a wealthy family and we’re just ordinary people),” Mrs. Yap told “Showbiz Central” in an exclusive interview. James and Kris are currently in the process of ending their relationship. They have a son, Baby James. Dee said they also felt it was too early for the two to get married. “Parang (We thought) it was too quick a courtship. So we thought na pag-isipan niyo
Last June, Kris Aquino announced on entertainment show The Buzz that her marriage with basketball player James Yap was over but refused to speak about the reasons why. James countered with a statement of his own claiming that he will “fight to keep my family intact.”
Last Sunday, The Buzz released part two of host Boy Abunda’s recent interview with Kris, in which she finally breaks her silence and talks about why her six-year marriage with James didn’t work, Spot.PH reports. “[The] truth is, and James knows this also, we stopped loving each other a long time ago,” she is quoted as saying on PEP.ph.
In a further statement, Kris admits that the last straw on the camel’s back was an incident last April 26. “May nasabi siya sa anak ko (He said something to my son) which I will forever keep between the two of us. May nasabi siya sa galit namin sa isa’t isa siguro nung panahon na yun, na nasaktan talaga ako (he said that probably because we were so angry at each other at the time, and I was really hurt.) At yun ang nagpatunay sa akin na (and that was what proved to me that) this is not the man for me and this is not the man I want to stay with…”
In her interview with Boy, Kris cites a myriad of reasons for their breakup: common problems that couples encounter in their relationships. Individually, these factors don’t necessarily spell a doomed relationship but having a combination of these make it very hard to make things work between you and your man.
