In a revelation that has rocked both showbiz and political circles, Kris Aquino and Batangas Vice Governor Mark Leviste have officially ended their controversial relationship—but the real reason behind their breakup has left fans stunned and heartbroken.

While the Queen of All Media has often kept her personal struggles private, sources close to Kris have finally broken their silence, painting a much deeper and more painful picture than anyone expected.

💔 A Love Amid Sickness and Distance

It’s no secret that Kris Aquino has been battling multiple autoimmune diseases, leading her to seek long-term treatment in the United States. Throughout her health crisis, Mark Leviste remained a constant figure, frequently flying in and out of the country to visit her—even spending time with her children, Josh and Bimby.

But behind the sweet photos and public declarations, tension was quietly brewing.

According to insiders, Kris began to feel emotionally exhausted, not only from her illness but from the pressure of maintaining a relationship while she was physically and mentally vulnerable.

“She didn’t want to be unfair to Mark,” one source revealed. “She felt like she was holding him back, and that guilt was eating her alive.”

🧪 Kris Chose Healing Over Romance

In a tearful conversation, Kris reportedly told Mark that she needed to fully focus on her recovery, and that meant letting go of all distractions, even love.

“She didn’t want Mark to waste years waiting,” said the source. “She encouraged him to live his life, to find happiness elsewhere—while she continues her battle for survival.”

🥀 But There’s More Beneath the Surface…

While Kris’s health is a massive factor, not everyone believes that’s the whole story.

Some insiders claim that differences in values and future plans also played a major role. Mark, a known politician, had obligations in the Philippines, while Kris was determined to stay abroad for treatment—creating a permanent physical and emotional gap between them.

And then there’s the silent pressure of Kris’s public image. A source from her camp hinted:

“She has always been fiercely protective of her reputation. Any misstep by a partner, especially in politics, could reflect on her—and she’s been through too much to risk that again.”

😢 Fans Heartbroken: “Akala Ko Siya Na…”

Social media has erupted in grief and speculation:

“Akala ko si Mark na talaga ang forever ni Kris…”

“Bakit kailangan laging si Kris ang nasasaktan?”

“Grabe, ang dami na niyang pinagdaanan—wala bang happy ending for her?”

💌 Mark Breaks His Silence

Shortly after the news broke, Mark Leviste took to social media, posting a cryptic message:

“Some people come into our lives for a season… and leave us stronger. I will always be grateful.”

Though he didn’t mention Kris by name, the message was clear—and filled with both sadness and respect.

👑 What’s Next for Kris?

Kris remains in the U.S., continuing her intensive treatment for her rare and life-threatening autoimmune conditions. Her fans continue to pray for her recovery and hope that one day, she’ll find peace—not just physically, but emotionally.

Her breakup with Mark Leviste may mark the end of one chapter, but for someone as resilient and iconic as Kris Aquino, this could be the beginning of something even greater.

Kris Aquino ‘full’ of Mark Leviste: You know what you’ve done over and over again
Could Kris Aquino’s post on her Instagram account yesterday have something to do with what her ex-boyfriend Mark Leviste posted?

She said, “My sisters urged me to make my current status very CLEAR. I AM NOT IN A RELATIONSHIP, we no longer communicate, and my sons and I feel more PEACEFUL. No details because I value my privacy and respect his, and I chose to only give the FACTS that should be addressed.”

It turns out that Batangas Vice Governor Mark Leviste posted a picture of them together a month ago with Kris’ ex-boyfriend Philip Salvador and Senator Robin Padilla in Capas, Tarlac for the 50th anniversary of the Pentecostal Missionary Church of Christ where he passed a resolution to recognize it.

Based on VG Mark’s post, “The Provincial Board of Batangas passed and presented a Resolution greeting and recognizing the Pentecostal Missionary Church of Christ (4th Watch) on the occasion of its 50th Anniversary.

“It was such an honor to meet Apostle Arsenio T. Ferriol & Evangelist Leticia S. Ferriol, Bishop Jonathan S. Ferriol, KALINGA Partylist Representative Irene Ferriol-Saulog and family, and personally read the Board Resolution before a jam-packed crowd of more than 50,000 people at the New Clark City Athletics Stadium and millions tuned-in worldwide. Truly, God’s love is in the air in Tarlac.”

And because of the picture together, Kris reacted to it.

“@markleviste, “Even the nicest, kindest people have their limits.” I refrained from calling you by name and I tried my best to stick to the facts.

“You know what you’ve done over and over again… you are so aware of what my sisters and I are going through but heck, anything to gain attention,” said Kris.

“From the very start I asked you for privacy yet even that you felt impossible to give. I hated being the last to know. Then now it’s a take 2 with Kuya’s (Josh)dad – we’ve had the bullying in all forms yet someone who got to personally know us had to post unwanted pictures 2x that inadvertently hurt my feelings because I knew attention at the expense of an innocent like Kuya is so evidently an exercise in showing that you can get away with everything,” he continued.

Kris also said that the vice governor’s dignity has been trampled on.

“Not when my children are being trampled on. Be grateful people are reading a very cleaned version of our mothers being trampled on.”

Everyone knows that Kris and Ipe are not on good terms and they have not communicated about their son, brother Joshua, for a long time.

When we checked VG Mark’s IG account, the picture of the three of them together with brother Ipe and Sen. Robin was no longer there.

Meanwhile, some netizens also gave their thoughts on the post of the vice governor of Batangas.

From @raineldagibbs, “I know this post of yours has nothing to do with your personal life but the work that you do as a public servant, VG. But this is the only space and opportunity for now for us who follow your personal relationship with Kris to express our five cents worth of thoughts…..please indulge us.

“VG Marc, Kris has expressed her desire to remain private especially her relationship with you since it’s only the two of you who will decide, compromise, adjust to and with each other. Whatever others say, at the end of the day it’s between the two of you.

“Kris is in a vulnerable position right now with her health battle, away from the rest of her family and loved ones and all. I know that in your heart you understand where she’s coming from and we can feel your love for her no matter what. At this trying time of her life and your relationship, please give her what she needs and wants for her peace and healing.

“If she wants you and her to stay private, then so be it. Like what I have said in my previous comments on your previous posts, I just hope and pray that you persevere, hang on, stay strong and understand with your heart especially when Kris is not feeling well and not in the mood. Challenges will come but God sees the desires of your heart and will give it to you according to His will.

“Praying without ceasing for Kris’ victory with her health condition. Hoping that you stay, VG!” A netizen’s divorce is long.

Another said, “I think you have to be sensitive enough in posting some pics/IG stories of people that will be disliked by Ms Kris. Pls don’t hurt her

I’m sure VG Mark read @marlene_k_s’ comment, “I hope it’s not too late even if you have deleted the other photos here. But @krisaquino said that he has not answered your calls for several weeks. I hope it’s not too late for you VG!”

We’ve read many more saying that we hope VG Mark and Kris will be okay again.
