Kris Aquino opened up about her health and personal life in a new Instagram post, revealing that she is still not ready to return to work and has been single “for some time now.”
In a post on Saturday, February 22, the “Queen of All Media” shared a photo with her son Bimby, showbiz friends Kim Chiu, Miles Ocampo, and Darla, as well as her doctors who recently visited her at home.
“I haven’t posted anything because I didn’t want all those praying for me to feel sad and lose the faith,” she wrote.
Aquino clarified that despite previous reports, she is still unfit to work due to her health struggles. Currently weighing only 37 kilos (82 pounds), she said her medical team set conditions for her recovery, including maintaining a stable weight and improving her white blood cell and hemoglobin levels.
She also detailed her ongoing battle with multiple autoimmune diseases, including fibromyalgia, polymyositis, and mixed connective tissue disease, which combine symptoms of lupus, scleroderma, and other inflammatory conditions. Aquino, who is allergic to several medications, admitted that “many times the physical pain is overwhelming.”
Aside from her health update, she also confirmed that she is no longer in a relationship. “No boyfriend, so clearly no fiancé,” she stated, without elaborating on her previous romance with a doctor, which she first revealed in June.
Aquino returned to the Philippines in September 2024 after undergoing medical treatments in the U.S. She previously hinted at an upcoming project that would give viewers a glimpse into her life with Bimby, close friends, and her medical team.
Despite reports that she had attempted to work again, her close friend Dindo Balares admitted that it was challenging. “Sinubukan niya the other day,” he said, quoting Aquino as saying, “But we all realized—one day of work means three days of bed rest.”
