Manila, Philippines - 'Big Game' James Yap admitted in an interview aired on Thursday on ABS-CBN that James "Bimby" Yap Jr. isn't his only child.
The PBA player on his interview with Anthony Taberna revealed that he has an older child with a former girlfriend.
“Actually, gusto ko lang magpasalamat sa ex-girlfriend ko na talagang kung ano man pinagdaanan ko, hindi siya nakisawsaw, hindi sya nakialam o siniraan ako,” Yap told Taberna.
The two-time Most Valuable Player (MVP) also discussed his improving relationship with former wife Kris Aquino and son Bimby.
In April, James had the chance to join the 7th birthday celebration of his son.
Yap also revealed his plans to become a coach and teach young players.
“Gusto kong mag-coach sa high school para sa mga bata. Para ma-share ko kung ano ‘yong experience ko, ‘di ba? Iba pa ‘yong feeling ‘pag nakatulong ka sa mga bata tapos makikita mo na lang silang nasa PBA,” Yap said.
Yap was also asked if the Italian girlfriend, Michela Cazzola is the reason for his early retirement in PBA.
“Ang pagpapakasal kasi, nandiyan lang ‘yan. Hindi naman nawawala ‘yan.
"Hinay-hinay lang. Darating at darating ‘yong oras na bigla lang maiisip mo, 'Okay, sige,'” said the San Mig Coffee player.
