Queen of All Media Kris Aquino has once again sparked online conversations after candidly revealing what she hopes to see in the woman her youngest son, Bimby Aquino, will eventually marry—with some netizens unexpectedly bringing Ryzza Mae Dizon into the discussion.

During the October 28 episode of ‘Fast Talk with Boy Abunda’, Kris made her much-awaited return to a television interview after an extended hiatus brought about by her health struggles. The first installment of the two-part interview covered several personal topics, including her family, health, and Bimby’s future love life. True to her famously outspoken personality, Kris admitted that aside from intelligence and good character, she also hopes her future daughter-in-law will be physically attractive.

When Boy Abunda asked about Bimby’s romantic future, Kris gave an answer that quickly caught viewers’ attention.

“Pinagdarasal ko talaga, sana maganda ’yung girl. I’m sorry,” she said.

Aware that her preference might sound superficial, the actress and television personality acknowledged how some people might react.

“I know it sounds na parang, ‘Wow. She hasn’t changed. Medyo mababaw!’ Pero ’di ba Boy kasi, Bimb is the one who will carry on the Cojuangco-Aquino last name…”

Kris explained that she believes her son would naturally choose someone with good values.

“I’m sure hindi siya magmamahal ng someone na pangit ang ugali,” she added.

However, she also jokingly raised the possibility that someone’s appearance might be different without makeup.

“Pero you know, baka magpa-cute pa-cute lang tapos nag-make up eh paano ’pag nawala ’yung makeup tapos hindi siya gano’n kaganda?”

Despite her remarks, Kris clarified that the girls she has met so far have made a positive impression.

“So far, all the girls that I’ve met, all are pretty. And all are smart,” she said.

Why did netizens bring up Ryzza Mae Dizon? Following the interview, a video clip of Kris discussing her preferences circulated on X, formerly Twitter, prompting reactions from social media users. Some netizens immediately mentioned ‘Eat Bulaga’ host Ryzza Mae Dizon, who has long been associated with Bimby through their childhood movie and television appearances. The two starred together in the 2013 comedy film ‘My Little Bossings’ and have more recently shared the screen through Bimby’s guest-hosting appearances on ‘Eat Bulaga’ on TV5. Their familiar onscreen dynamic has led some viewers to playfully pair them together.

Among the comments circulating online were:

Other commenters, however, pushed back against the jokes, questioning why Ryzza’s appearance was being dragged into the discussion. One netizen argued that comparing the two young personalities’ appearances was unnecessary and defended Ryzza against the remarks.

While several comments interpreted Kris’s statement as an indirect rejection of Ryzza, there is no evidence that Kris was referring to her or criticizing her appearance. The television personality did not mention Ryzza by name during the quoted portion of the interview. Her remarks concerned her general preferences for Bimby’s future partner, not a specific individual.

Beyond Kris’s comments about physical appearance, Boy Abunda also shared a more personal detail about what Bimby reportedly values in a future wife.

During an earlier media conference discussing the interview, Boy revealed that Bimby wanted to marry someone who would accept his older brother, Josh Aquino. Josh is on the autism spectrum, and his relationship with Bimby remains an important part of their family’s life.

According to Boy’s account, acceptance of Josh’s condition is among the qualities Bimby considers essential in a potential life partner. The revelation offered a different perspective on the family’s conversation about marriage, highlighting compassion, understanding, and acceptance alongside Kris’s lighthearted comments about beauty.

Although Bimby’s guest appearances on ‘Eat Bulaga’ and his connection with Ryzza have generated interest among viewers, there has been no public confirmation that the two are romantically involved. Kris also did not confirm whether her youngest son currently has a girlfriend. Likewise, there is no verified indication that Ryzza was personally affected by Kris’s remarks.

As of writing, Ryzza has not publicly responded to the online comments connecting her name to the interview.

LionhearTV remains open to her side should she wish to address the discussion.
