Kris Aquino has finally opened up about her love life, sharing the name of her rumored boyfriend.

In an Instagram post, Kris confirmed that her partner’s name is Dr. Mike, putting an end to months of speculation. Fans and followers had been curious about her romantic life, especially following her return to the Philippines from the U.S. for medical treatments.

“You must now have figured out who Dr. Mike is in my life,” Kris mentioned in her post, adding a lighthearted note that everyone will be invited to her wedding if it happens. Despite revealing his name, Kris asked for privacy regarding her personal relationship.

Dr. Mike has been identified as Dr. Michael Padlan, a prominent surgeon at Makati Medical Center, who shares the same age as Kris at 53. He is known for his expertise in surgery and has a substantial reputation in the medical field.

Aside from her love life, Kris provided a positive update on her health. She shared the good news that she is cancer-free, which comes as a relief given her family history—her mother, former President Corazon Aquino, passed away from colon cancer. However, Kris is still battling lupus, a condition that requires her to take strict precautions to protect her immune system.

Fans were also thrilled when Kris hinted at her return to television. She revealed that she is working on a new project with ABS-CBN, but withheld specific details for now. Many are speculating that it might be a documentary series, possibly about her health journey, as she prepares for a comeback by the end of 2024.
