Kris Aquino’s highly anticipated return to television may be postponed due to her ongoing health struggles, according to a reliable source.
After announcing last year her plans to work on a new show with ABS-CBN, the Queen of All Media has remained out of the public eye, especially during the Christmas and New Year holidays, which left her loyal fans eagerly seeking updates.
A source revealed that Kris’s current health condition makes it difficult to pursue the demanding schedule of a TV show, raising concerns that it could affect her well-being.
In a Facebook post, Kris’s close confidant and former entertainment editor, Dindo Balares, shared his sentiments about the public’s longing for updates on her condition.
“Natatambakan ako ng inbox messages ng loyal followers na nakaka-miss kay Kris Aquino at ng kahit na konting updates tungkol sa kanya,” Balares wrote alongside a throwback photo of Kris from 2019.
He explained how protective Kris is of her friends and family, often keeping her struggles private to avoid causing them worry. “May laging bilin si Krisy, ayaw niyang nakakadagdag pa ng mga alalahanin sa ibang tao. Kaya kung makakabigat din lang sa iba ang ipo-post ko, huwag na.’”
Despite her silence, fans recall the buzz in October when news of her potential TV comeback circulated. At the time, Kris expressed her gratitude to ABS-CBN for allowing her trusted team members, Jasmin and Darla, to collaborate on the project. She hinted that the show could air before the end of 2024.
“Para hindi kayo magsawang magdasal. Sabi nyo, you miss watching me. I want to thank my former ABS-CBN bosses for allowing Jasmin and Darla to work with me on a show which will launch before 2024 ends,” she said.
The concept of the show remains undisclosed, but Kris previously shared that it will document her current life journey alongside her son Bimby, her lifelong friends, and her trusted medical team.
“Secret muna yung concept, but you’ll get to see my present-day journey, including moments with Bimb, my closest friends who have become family, and my doctors, who are now some of my most trusted friends,” she said.
Kris also recently confirmed her relationship with Dr. Michael Padlan. While she did not provide details about their wedding, she emphasized that it would be an intimate event and requested privacy.
