Kris Aquino on Monday revealed that she and former Interior Secretary Mel Sarmiento have broken up.
Rumors that the couple has ended their relationship after netizens spotted that the Queen of All Media deleted her pictures with Sarmiento on Instagram.
“Sa pinagdadaanan ko ngayon, may tao bang gustong pagusapan pa ang kanyang paghihiwalay?” Aquino said.
(With all the things I am going through, do I still want to talk about my breakup.)
“But in order for me to be able to peacefully move on, and focus on myself and my health, BECAUSE my sons still need me, Kuya Josh has autism, and Bimb will only turn 18 in 3 years, 3 months, and 16 days, I must end this chapter,” she added.
Kris Aquino also shared screenshots of what she said is Mel Sarmiento’s last text to her.
“After that you will never read nor hear anything at all about him from me, because I still want to preserve whatever dignity I have left,” she said.

Sarmiento’s text read in part, “For the past two days, I had enough time to think about things and accepted the fact that ensuring you don’t get COVID is an enormous responsibility.
“Given my nature, who loves to go out, I accept the fact that I already have a bubble fatigue and I will not be able to, sad to say, be able to continue living in a bubble.”
Sarmiento noted he did not want to compromise Aquino’s health, who was suffering from autoimmune disease.
“On that note, with a heavy heart I accepted your offer of letting me go. For I cannot in conscience be able to accept that something will happen to you that brought about my going out of the bubble. I will always cherish in my heart the happy moments we had together,” Sarmiento said.
Kris Aquino announced her engagement with Mel Sarmiento last October 2021. The two first met each other during the presidency of the late Noynoy Aquino.
