Kris Aquino finally confirmed that Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista is her mysterious special someone.

On Monday, through ABS-CBN’s nightly show, “Aquino and Abunda Tonight,” the 43-year-old actress-TV host, read a statement which explained it all.

In the statement, Aquino mentioned that Mayor Bautista asked the permission of her brother, Pres. Benigno Aquino III to date her.

Kris cleared that she consulted Herbert before reading the statement. She added that the statement would tell all that they want to say.

The presidential sister also appealed to the public to give them the privacy that they need so they can have “a chance for forever.”

“We are a work in progress,” she added.

Before Aquino’s admission, the public already had an inkling that something romantic is going on between the two.

On Friday, Bautista visited Aquino on the set of her show “Kris TV.” And on Saturday evening, Aquino posted a photo on Instagram, showing the Aquino clan having dinner with Herbert. In the said photo, the 45-year-old mayor was seen talking to Kris’ sisters.

In a previous interview, Bautista admitted that he is the marrying type. He already has four children.
