Actress Kylie Padilla directly addressed long-standing cheating allegations involving her estranged husband Aljur Abrenica during her recent guest appearance on the GMA Network online show ‘YouLOL.’
Sitting on the mock witness stand of the show’s ‘Your Honor’ segment, Kylie made a straightforward clarification that surprised both the hosts and the studio audience.
“May gusto lang po akong sabihin at ilinaw, hindi po talaga ako ang unang nag-cheat,” Kylie said.
Her statement was followed by laughter, including her own, as hosts Buboy Villar and Chariz Solomon reacted in surprise. The courtroom-themed segment briefly descended into playful chaos, prompting Chariz—acting as the judge—to bang the gavel and call for order.
Kylie’s remark was in response to a viral post made in the past by Aljur Abrenica that read, “Bakit hindi mo sabihin Kylie ang totoo kung sino ang unang nag-cheat?” The post fueled widespread speculation and reinforced public perception that Kylie was the first to leave their marriage, especially after photos circulated showing her traveling with a tattoo artist friend. Kylie, however, has consistently denied any infidelity.
The issue later escalated when Aljur was linked to actress AJ Raval, a relationship that was initially denied but later confirmed. AJ eventually revealed that she now has three children with Aljur.
During the same ‘YouLOL’ segment, the discussion shifted to co-parenting, a topic close to home for Kylie, Buboy, and Chariz, all of whom are single parents.
“Ano ba ibig sabihin ng co-parenting? ‘Di ba dapat 50-50?” Kylie asked.
Chariz responded, “Hindi hati dapat, 100-100. Give your best, I give my best.”
Kylie joked that she carries “80 percent” of the responsibility while Aljur handles “20 percent,” drawing laughter from the room. She quickly clarified her statement, emphasizing that despite the separation, she and Aljur remain committed to raising their children together.
“Pero wait… co-parenting pa rin kami. What I mean to say is sa akin ‘yung kids 80% of the time. Okay naman na tao si Aljur,” Kylie said.
She stressed the importance of maintaining a healthy father-child relationship for their sons, Axl and Alas.
“Hindi naman nag-fail ‘yung relationship nila (mag-aama). Dapat solid pa rin. Paparamdam ko sa kanila na there’s no change—that he’s still your father,” she explained.
Kylie also spoke candidly about the emotional impact of the separation on her children, recalling a moment when her youngest son asked a painful question. When asked about her children’s relationship with Aljur’s current partner AJ Raval, Kylie spoke positively, saying the actress has been warm and welcoming.
Despite the painful history, sources say Kylie and Aljur are now on better terms and are able to communicate for the sake of their children. Kylie is also reportedly single at present.
Kylie’s recent statements echo what she had already shared in a 2021 tell-all interview with Jessica Soho, where she firmly denied being unfaithful during their marriage.
“In my defense, while we were formally married, I never had any extramarital relationships with other men. That is my truth,” she said at the time.
She added then, “Okay sana kung ginawa ko eh. I would say ‘I’m sorry.’ Pero hindi talaga eh. And that’s what they keep throwing at me. Paano naman ako aamin sa bagay na hindi ko naman ginawa?”
