FORMER actress and TV host Kris Aquino has broken up with Batangas Vice Governor Mark Leviste.
On Monday night, Aquino turned to social media to share a gratitude post for Leviste for all the things he’s done for her as she undergoes several treatments for her autoimmune diseases.
“This is a long overdue gratitude post. Marc (yes it’s with a C) @markleviste is leaving to go home to fulfill his obligations to his Batangas constituents,” she began.
“Nobody I’ve ever been in a relationship with has ever given me as much love & encouragement. He wasn’t only my boyfriend, he became my best friend and confidante, talagang maaasahan. The usage of WAS is correct,” she added.
Since her condition has gotten “progressively worse,” Aquino said she had asked Leviste for a pause knowing that a long-distance relationship would not work for them.
“I asked Marc for a pause because with my condition the way it is now, I’m self aware enough to know that a long distance relationship will be next to impossible for us to maintain. For the Filipinos working all over the world, I know I’m blessed to have Kuya Josh & Bimb with me — but most moms reading this will agree, we don’t want our kids to suffer from anxiety about our health, especially kung solo parent ka like me,” she said.
Leviste’s response
The politician shared Kris’ post in his Instagram Story and added the song “Love Never Fails” by Jim Brickman and Amy Sky as a background music.
He also quoted a Bible verse from the First Epistle to the Corinthians (1 Corinthians), specifically from Chapter 13, Verses 4 to 8. It reads:
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. Love never fails.
