The online community is shocked by the rumor that Bimby Aquino, Kris Aquino’s son, has officially introduced his boyfriend to the public. This information quickly spread and caused a lot of controversy on social networks. But is this true or just a joke of netizens?

News about Bimby Aquino publicly announcing his boyfriend appeared when a video and a series of photos went viral online, in which the boy was said to appear intimately with a friend of the opposite sex. Immediately, many people speculated that this was Bimby’s “lover”, and the rumor spread more and more.

Previously, Bimby has been scrutinized many times for his gestures, style and personality. Some people even raised questions about his sexual orientation, although there has been no confirmation from Bimby or his family.

As a famous mother who protects her children, Kris Aquino certainly cannot stay silent in the face of rumors about her son. In the past, Kris has responded frankly to the sarcasm and protected Bimby from public attacks.

However, this time, the talk show queen has not spoken out about this shocking rumor. This makes many people even more curious: Will Kris break her silence to clarify everything?

This event has divided public opinion. Some netizens believe that Bimby has the right to live as himself and be loved like anyone else. However, there are also people who think that this is just a false rumor, intended to attract views and cause controversy.

Regardless, Bimby Aquino is still just a growing teenager and no one has the right to impose or pry into his personal life. Will Kris Aquino speak up soon to clarify the truth? Let’s wait and see what happens next!

Bimby is straight, according to close friend of Kris Aquino
Dindo Ballares on Bimby: “I’m bold to say he’s straight.”
There’s no doubt that Bimby Aquino, Kris Aquino’s son with her estranged husband James Yap, is straight.

This was the declaration of Kris’ close friend and entertainment editor Dindo Balares on Instagram on August 23, 2024.

This came after several photos of a gay couple, one of whom allegedly looks like Bimby, surfaced on Facebook.

bimby aquino is STRAIGHT, DECLARES DINDO BALARES
On Instagram, Dindo emphasized that there is no lie that Bimby, who is now 17 years old, is straight.

He said that Bimby is not the one in the photos that are circulating.

His statement (published as is): “Even my friends in the entertainment media, keep messaging and asking me (even in the early hours of the morning) if Bimby is really the one in the photos that came out in the fake news.

“Imagine, if even journalists are hesitant and almost believe the fake news, let alone the public.

“In the comment threads, as usual, there are a lot of homophobic condemnations, judgments, and obscene remarks.

“In the photos — which turned out to be from a post taken at the beach engagement of a happy gay couple — one of them looks like Bimb because of the body build, eyeglasses, and even the haircut. Useful for making money on social media”But that’s not Bimb. I have a lot of gay friends and they often talk about whether a mhinchung is a real man or a closet queen. (An old word! Hahahaha! Sorry, brothers! Hahahaha)”According to Dindo, when he was just a beginner in showbiz, he also experienced “being scrutinized by experienced and veteran showbiz writers whether I’m really straight or ateng din.”

And since he’s been in the entertainment beat for so long, he’s also learned how to “smell like a closet queen.”

And according to Dindo’s analysis, “Bim is straight.”

DINDO ON WITNESSING BIMBY GROWING UP
In another post by Dindo, he revealed that Bimby grew up before his eyes when he visited his mother Kris at showbiz events and even on special occasions in the TV host’s life.

When Bimby was little, he had one favorite toy—paper airplanes.

Dindo (published as is) said, “Bimby grew up as I always saw him whenever I visited Kris Aquino — at their house, at ABS-CBN, at press conferences, even at their businesses, and at family affairs.

“Paper airplanes were the first toy I saw him busy with. He was still little then, around 3 to 4 years old, in the studio of Kris and Boy Abunda’s Showbiz News Ngayon.

“He has many other toys, I saw him leave them in the dressing room, but he prefers or prefers paper airplanes. Highly efficient entertainment and attention-grabbing while his Mama Kris is busy with a live telecast.

“It’s even better, because there’s no noise in the studio like robots and miniature cars. Yaya Gerbel is the maker, and Bimb flies them around, frustrated when they fall. He comes to me to have them fixed.

“When it glided and flew far away (almost reaching Krisy and Boy’s set!), his eyes widened as he looked at me, laughed, and came back to me to have more made.”

Dindo said he had always felt that he and Bimby would “become friends” when he grew up.

And it came true.

“I told myself, this kid and I will be friends.

“It came true, from the time he was unconscious until now that he’s a teenager. Sometimes, we bond even without his Mama Kris, like when she was abroad so Kuya Josh was asked to accompany them to the awarding rites to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award presented by the Philippine Movie Press Club.”

Dindo said he knows how straight men look at “attractive girls.” That’s why Dindo is brave enough to testify that Bimby is a real man.

He said, “I know how men look at attractive girls. I see it in Bimb. That’s why I’m brave enough to say he’s straight.”

Dindo also praised Bimby’s care for his brother Josh, and even his treatment of other people.

“When he came home from the US last July, he immediately contacted me, wanting to meet up. With Wifey, Kuya Josh and I went to the Aquinos’ house on Times Street.

“It’s fun to watch the easy friendship between the siblings, how Bimb takes care of his older brother. Kris is fulfilling what he wanted to happen, Bimb to be Kuya Josh’s guardian.

“Bimb has a flair for dealing with others. His friendships are sincere, natural, genuine, and elegant. On social media, we followed the happy posts of various people he and Kuya visited when he returned home.”

Dindo also recalled meeting Bimby when he returned from America. He was with the entertainment editor when he visited Bimby.

Bimby is said to be updated on the events in Dindo’s life.

He said: “He immediately greeted Wifey and me jokingly, ‘Maybe you want to see my abs!’ with a loud laugh. He’s been lifting weights, so his body is now as big as a rock.

“Just like Kris appreciates and says hello, Bimb does the same. Very warm and intelligent conversation. Genuinely wants to know what the updates are on my return to agriculture.

“Bimby knows my activities outside the entertainment industry. He sees the pictures I send him of the planting. He reads the messages we exchange with Krisy.”

Bimby’s favorite sport is now target shooting, and he also asked if a newcomer is good-looking in person.

“Sometimes, we can talk and laugh at funny exchanges. Now that he’s a teenager, one of his sports is target shooting. We all know, he inherited his passion from his Uncle Noy (PNoy).

“I just think he also inherited an aesthetic sense. He asked me a newcomer in showbiz if I’ve seen him and if he’s beautiful in person. Yes, he’s very beautiful, smart, and bubbly.

“But don’t force me to reveal it and I might say so. Remember, Bimb’s Mama Kris herself said, “Sometimes you can talk too, Kuya Dindo.BIMBY: “I’M STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW.”

On the eve of Bimby’s 14th birthday on April 19, 2021, mother and son Kris and Bimby had a heart-to-heart talk about gender and other issues that netizens are throwing at them.

Kris uploaded the video of their conversation on Facebook on April 23, 2021.

Bimby said directly, “I’ll set the record straight. I’m straight. I like women. I don’t like boys.”

When Kris asked her son how he felt whenever netizens commented on his sexual orientation, Bimby replied, “No, I don’t feel anything.”

He continued to explain, “I just feel, like, ‘Okay, if you think I’m gay, all right, dude. But you do realize that gay community in the Philippines is a strong community.

“And you do realize that I’m 13 [years old]. I’m 14 in a few minutes.”

“So it’s like, like, it didn’t go through my mind, like, ’cause I know what I am. I’m straight. I’m straight as an arrow.”

Kris asked directly: “Let’s answer this once and for all, have you questioned yourself about that?”

Bimby quickly replied, “No, not at all…”

Kris asked again, “So you like girls?”

Bimby replied, “I love girls.”

For Kris’ youngest child, it’s no big deal if other people think he’s gay, especially since they know his true nature.

But he doesn’t like comments that are mixed with mockery of gays.

He added, “It’s just me, they’re entitled to their own opinion on what they think about me just as long as you don’t, like, attack me.

“Like if you say, ‘I think he’s gay,’ I’ll respect that. I’ll say, ‘No, I’m not gay.’ But if you say, ‘Hey, Bimb si beki, kadiri,’ that’s wrong.

“As long as you debate with someone and you have respect for the person, it’s okay, sure. If you have different opinions, that’s okay, sure.”

Kris will fully support his youngest son regardless of the path he chooses.

Kris said, “I wanna bring this out also. Whatever you are I’ll accept…

“I really don’t care, honestly. And, you know, like whatever you choose to be, it will be fine with me for as long as you excel.

“If you’re gonna be gay or whatever you’re gonna be, you better be the best at the profession you choose to be.

“That’s just my feeling. And I am so anti-homophobia.”
