Actress-singer Kylie Padilla admitted on Wednesday that she had known about AJ Raval and her ex-husband Aljur Abrenica’s children for quite a while before AJ’s big reveal.

On “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,” AJ Raval revealed that she was already a mother of five when asked about her children with Aljur, with whom she shares three.

While netizens were reeling from AJ’s revelation, Kylie told fans on social media that she has known this a long time now, and kept her peace for the children’s sake.

“Ito lang po comment ko para matapos na matagal ko na pong alam pero syempre inuna po namin ang kapakanan ng mga bata. Sobrang close sila at yun pinaka importante. Happy that now di na kailangan mag tago. Proud of you peace all around. Sana matapos na drama,” she wrote on a Facebook post.

AJ also said that her relationship with Aljur began in 2022 after working together on the film “Nerisa,” reported DZRH’s Showbiz Angel, Angelica Cosme.

Aljur and Kylie separated in 2021, after two years of marriage. The estranged couple have two children.
