Kris Aquino has faced many serious health problems. In 2018, she was diagnosed with chronic idiopathic urticaria.

In addition, she also has other autoimmune diseases such as autoimmune thyroiditis and CREST syndrome. In February 2025, Kris Aquino was also diagnosed with fibromyalgia.

After a long absence to focus on treatment, Kris Aquino made her first public appearance on February 25, 2025 at the “People Asia’s People of the Year 2025” event. This comeback attracted great attention from the public and media, marking a turning point in her journey to overcome her illness.

Despite facing many health challenges, Kris Aquino still showed resilience and determination. Her comeback was not only a joy for her fans but also a testament to her indomitable spirit in the face of adversity.

Kris Aquino, thanks ‘Marc’ for 12-year ‘perseverance’ with her
Kris Aquino expressed her deep gratitude for the love, friendship, and 12 years of patience with “Marc” despite her struggles, especially her illness.

In her Instagram post, which can also be seen in the Saksi report, Kris expressed her gratitude to “Marc,” even though she had “broken up” with him many times because of their situations. Despite this, she felt Marc’s love and friendship.

“[I]’ve been so unfair in not THANKING you enough for all your effort to be here whenever i need you, for all the times my past has made me so jaded that i keep breaking up with you all because i didn’t believe a long distance relationship stood a chance because of your job obligations, and because i need at least 2 cycles of 9 months each before I can hope to reach remission.

“When you find both love and friendship in one person,” Kris said.

Kris apologized to “Marc,” and thanked him for his 12 years of patience with her.

“Marc, I’m sorry for punishing you for what others have done to me. You are 100% correct, you’re not them. Contrary to what others may think it’s either you or bimb taking all the pictures. Thank you for agreeing to my request to not post & keep our new relationship private. We are proof that LOVE comes when you least expect it. Thank you for your 12 years of perseverance,” she said. Kris asked her friend, “Whatever God decides for us, let’s please end up BEST FRIENDS for the rest of our lives?”

Some netizens speculated that Kris was referring to Batangas Governor Mark Leviste, who commented on Kris’s post with “????????.”

“[T]hank you. For being here,” Kris replied.
