And he did right by prioritizing them, (advanced congratulations for Saturday\u2019s BLESSING),&#8221; Kris said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I won\u2019t lie\u00a0&#8211; it took a lot of patience on his part and a lot of acceptance on mine to reach where we are. Trust me when I say- it is possible to 1 day be chill about a broken heart- because without it I wouldn\u2019t have received lasting friendship,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p>The actress told Herbert that being the best parents they can be &#8220;wins over everything else in this ever-changing, temporary world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They say you can\u2019t move on to the next chapter of your life if you haven\u2019t made peace with the last- I\u2019m finally ready for the continuation of my life story,&#8221; Kris stressed.<\/p>\n<p>The I Love You, Hater star said that she is still hoping that one day, there will be a \u201cnew character\u201d whom she will introduce because, according to her, she &#8220;does still deserve a love story with a happily ever after.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It can be recalled that Kris and Herbert were about to marry each other but their supposed wedding was canceled twice.<\/p>\n<p>It was the actor-turned-politician who first backed out of their wedding, but proposed to Kris again on January 2017.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with People Asia Magazine in December last year, Kris revealed that she accepted the one-carat diamond ring Herbert gave to her while they were in Rome; however, their second-chance wedding was once again canceled when Kris decided to return the ring the following day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI returned it the next day because I said that we will always have responsibilities that came before he and I meet. And as long as our children are not done yet with their studies, I don\u2019t think we have the freedom to be able to choose happiness,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI returned the ring not because <em>gusto kong iparamdam sa kanya kung anong pinaramdam niya sa akin<\/em> (I want him to feel what he made me feel) three years before that. It was because <em>nagising na ko <\/em>(I woke up [to reality])<em>,\u201d<\/em> she added.<\/p>\n<p>Kris now maintained that she and Herbert are good friends, clarifying that nothing romantic is going between them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After they were seen together watching a film last week, the Queen of All Media now made a surprise appearance &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":164820,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,46],"tags":[1825,1575],"class_list":["post-164815","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","category-entertainment-ph","tag-herbert-bautista","tag-kris-aquino","mauthors-joanna-belle-deala","mauthors-philippine-canadian-inquirer"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164815","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=164815"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164815\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/164820"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=164815"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=164815"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=164815"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
