In a revelation that has taken social media by storm, Batangas Vice Governor Mark Leviste has finally broken his silence and shared the truth about his relationship with Kris Aquino—the “Queen of All Media.” What many once saw as a promising and supportive romance has now turned into a narrative of distance, heartbreak, and painful honesty.

Fans were stunned as Leviste opened up about what really caused the breakdown between them, and why, despite the love, things didn’t end the way people hoped.

💬 “I Loved Her… But I Had to Let Go.”

In an emotional interview aired on national TV and later confirmed through a series of Instagram posts, Mark Leviste candidly shared:

“Yes, I loved Kris. I still care for her deeply. But sometimes, love is not enough.”

He went on to explain that the long-distance setup, coupled with Kris’s fragile health, placed an enormous emotional toll on both of them.

“She needed someone who could be there every single day. And I couldn’t give that to her while serving my province.”

🏥 Kris’s Health a Major Factor

Kris Aquino, who has been battling multiple autoimmune diseases in the United States, is undergoing continuous treatment and often shares her health journey with her fans. According to Leviste, being far from her during her most vulnerable time was “the most painful part.”

“Every day I wanted to be by her side. But duty called me here, and she needed someone there.”

Fans couldn’t help but feel the weight of his words. Some described the situation as a “tragic love story caught between health and responsibility.”

😢 Kris and Mark: A Love That Almost Was

Their relationship went public in early 2023, when Kris finally confirmed rumors that Leviste had been her constant source of support while she was undergoing treatment in the U.S.

The two exchanged sweet messages, and Leviste even visited her abroad, making fans hopeful for Kris’s emotional recovery alongside her medical healing.

But despite their closeness, the challenges of distance, politics, and health created a gap that neither of them could fully bridge.

“We didn’t fight. There was no betrayal. Just timing. Just life,” Leviste shared.

😲 Netizens React: “Sayang!”

After Leviste’s heartfelt confession, netizens were quick to flood social media with messages of support and heartbreak:

“We were rooting for them! Sayang!”

“Mark is mature and respectful. Kris deserves that love.”

“This is real-life teleserye. Love, pain, and sacrifice.”

The hashtags #KrisAndMark, #SayangSila, and #RealLoveHurts trended across X and Facebook just hours after the news broke.

💔 No Bitterness, Just Gratitude

Mark Leviste ended his statement on a bittersweet note:

“I will always be grateful for the time we shared. Kris is one of the strongest women I’ve ever known. I continue to pray for her healing — physically and emotionally.”

He also asked the public to respect their privacy and to continue sending prayers to Kris as she fights her most important battle: her life.

💭 Will There Be a Second Chance?

Despite the heartache, fans are still holding on to a sliver of hope. Many believe that if Kris heals, and if the timing is right, their paths may cross again — this time with nothing in the way.

Until then, their story remains a reminder that not all love ends in hatred. Some just end too soon.

A love story paused by fate — not by failure.
And the nation watches with quiet hope… that maybe one day, their hearts will find their way back to each other. 💔🌹
