Sharon Cuneta reveals that Kiko Panglinan and kids will not attend Sharon-Gabby concert

While promoting her much anticipated reunion concert Dear Heart with former love team partner and ex-husband Gabby Concepcion, Sharon Cuneta has revealed why her husband Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan and their children Frankie, Miel, and Miguel will not be present at the one-day event.

According to Inquirer Bandera, Sharon confirmed that it was a family decision that was made in order to protect her family from any controversy.

During the Dear Heart press conference, Sharon reiterated that despite their absence, Kiko and her kids are fans of her former ‘80s teen love team.

“Pinag-usapan na namin ni Kiko. I want to shield them from anything that people might say. [They] are solid Sharon-Gabby fans up to this day. My husband is the coolest. He’s very supportive. When this Dear Heart concert was first announced, he simply said, ‘Sana naman matuloy na ‘yan (I hope the show will push through),’” as quoted by Inquirer Bandera.

Even though they have long parted ways after a fairy tale wedding in 1984 which blessed them with one daughter, Kristina Cassandra Cuneta Concepcion (now known simply as actress and model KC Concepcion), Sharon said the concert is her and Gabby’s gift to their fans who want to see them share the stage together once again and see their undeniable chemistry.

“This is for our audience and I don’t think kailangan pang makita ng asawa ko’t mga anak ko ‘yon, except KC, of course… Naninibago nga ako. The concert is a brand-new experience after so many decades na may gagawin kaming dalawa and we’re working together again. Excited ako at masaya. It has been so long that our followers have missed us together. Kahit tumayo lang kami, may effect na. Chemistry is something that cannot be created. It’s either there or not. Gabby and I always have that, no matter what,” she explained

Looking back on her first marriage, Sharon admitted she probably would not have gotten married at 18 years old, although she was still thankful to Gabby for being the father of her first child.

“I would have properly given it a little more time so we would be more mature and ready. I probably would have gotten married later… But I will always be thankful [to] Gabby that he’s the father of my eldest daughter KC. I will always respect the good times that we shared. I will always remember him fondly,” she said.

Sharon and Gabby’s Dear Heart : The Concert one-night only event is happening on October 27, Friday at the SM MOA Arena in Pasay City. Tickets are available via SM ticket outlets nationwide  or at www.smtickets.com.
