ACTOR Aljur Abrenica chose to stay silent on reports that he and AJ Raval already have children together, a claim recently made by AJ’s father, veteran actor Jeric Raval.
In his interview, Aljur said he respects Jeric but prefers not to discuss the issue for now.
“Si father Jeric, tatay ’yan eh. He always sees what is good for everyone, tama lang iyon. Para sa akin, for now, I cannot talk about it personally. I am not yet comfortable. As an individual, I prayed for it. Nakita ko, huwag muna. Everything will be unveiled in time, sa susunod,” he said.
Jeric earlier clarified that his statement about AJ and Aljur already having two children was an unintentional slip.
Aljur, meanwhile, said he understands the elder Raval’s perspective. “Tatay din ’yun eh. I have big respect for him. Alam n’yo ’yung complication sa mag-ama minsan kasi di natin nakikita. Sometimes kasi, mas matanda sila sa atin, they see things we do not see,” he said.
Asked about his relationship with AJ, Aljur admitted that their journey has not been easy but remains strong. “Wala naman perpekto — that’s what I love about it. Pag smooth na ’yan, nothing to learn. Sa biyahe namin ni AJ, what I’m proud and happy to say is walang bumitaw,” he said.
The actor also said he maintains a good relationship with his ex-wife, actress Kylie Padilla, as they co-parent their two sons, Alas Joaquin and Axl Romeo.
“Goods talaga with Kylie. OK na OK kami, we have constant communication. Napag-uusapan namin updates sa bata, kamusta sila. Pag-aaral nila, especially sa iPad and gadgets. Di ko kaya mag-isa. Di niya rin kaya mag-isa. Naba-balance namin,” Aljur said. “Sa buhay, walang madali. But as long as you do it with Him and His guidance.”
