MANILA, Philippines – Kris Aquino revealed that she and her fiancè Mel Sarmiento have gone their separate ways.
In a lengthy post on Instagram on Monday, Kris shared a message, some photos and screenshots of her conversations with Mel. The TV host clarified that she was the one who initiated the breakup because of her health problems. She also said that this will be the last time everybody will hear about her because she wants to preserve whatever dignity she has left.
"By doing this I only request for some respect for my humanity and privacy now and in the coming months when I fight for my health... because I was BRAVE enough to show you and tell you the TRUTH," Kris wrote.
Along with photos of her checkup, Kris revealed that she and Mel were supposed to see each other before she decided to break up with him. But, Mel decided to choose her safety amid the pandemic.
The message of Mel stated, "I'm worried about your situation and what you've texted me. I did pack up, bringing with me clothes up to the 4th of January where we are supposed to have our RT-PCR test."
"I'm reminded of what your doctor cousin told me, the responsibility of making sure you don't get covid given your auto immune. That's the reason I decided not to proceed there because I might further put you at risk and I don't want to be blamed for it," he continued.
Mel's messages continued to explain that he accepts Kris' offer of separation to keep her safe. According to Mel, he knows the veracity of Kris' autoimmune disease and would not risk her getting COVID-19 because of him.
"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. I do love you, but I guess this is goodbye for your life is of greatest importance given that you have Bimby and Josh to take care of."
"You will forever be in my heart," Mel's chat message ended.
