Last week, James surprised everyone by appearing on The Buzz to greet Kris a happy birthday (Feb. 14). However, Kris gave him the cold-shoulder treatment, which viewers both here and abroad on TFC witnessed.
Yes, Kris and James are facing some problems, something The STAR was aware of but honored Kris’ request not to reveal “anything” at that time. This was more than two weeks ago.
Yesterday, on The Buzz, James joined Kris, and she finally spoke up, putting all the speculations to rest — hopefully. This is especially important as Kris is now six months pregnant with their first child (a boy, according to the ultrasound) and certainly doesn’t need any additional stress.
With only a hint of tears in her eyes, Kris made the following emotional confession (including her reaction to being not just a wife but a "sugar mommy" to James), delivered in Taglish on national television:
"...Maximum salary ng asawa ko, hawak ko po. I just want to clarify that with all the problems we had over the past month, I didn’t realize my husband got involved in this. I’ve been shielded because I’m not the one being accused. What’s painful is that it seems like I’m buying love. But it’s hard for a man to be accused of doing nothing but depend on me, especially when my husband has worked hard for everything he has.
"And now, to those asking why we waited to speak out... I admit we had problems. I admit I was hurt. But this is something that didn’t require me to defend myself because I did nothing wrong. I’m a wife, we have a family, and I was the one hurt.
"So, what do I need to defend? If there’s anything to explain, all explanations happened within our home. That’s the hardest part. Everyone can speculate, exaggerate, but the real pain happens between the two of us. Everyone can give their opinion about our marriage, but the only opinion that matters is James’ and mine. All the explanations I needed, I’ve already heard from him.
"What’s most important is that James faced my family. He didn’t turn away from my two sisters, Ate Ballsy and Pinky, who had serious talks with him. We didn’t need to face others because this all happened within our family. That’s the difference now. We’re family. You know, it’s my decision to stay married, my decision to protect this marriage and our family. And whoever tries to destroy it, I’m telling you, at this point in my life, I won’t let you succeed... because we have a life we’re bringing into this world.
"In less than three months, I’m going to give birth. I didn’t experience having a complete family. My father was imprisoned when I was a year and a half old, and I grew up without him. Joshua (her son with Phillip Salvador) grew up without a father too. So why would I allow my child, who has the chance to have a complete family, to miss out on that?
"I’m telling you, I admit there were moments these past weeks when I wanted to give up. But I thought, if there’s a trial, pain, or challenge now, there were also happy moments.
"My husband asked for forgiveness. I’m not saying I’ve forgiven him 100%, but I understand. Maybe this is the one time in my life when a man owned up to his mistakes. And anyone who charges me, if you have a family, you’ll understand that every wife will give her husband a chance because she loves him.
"You may say I’m speaking out now because of contracts, because of an image I need to protect. That’s not true. I’ve done nothing that violates a morality clause. I’m here because, as a host of The Buzz, I have to be ready to face any issues about me. Otherwise, I have no right to host this show.
"I told James, ‘This is a partnership, this is a marriage. I’m standing by you.’ No one else has the right to judge him; only I do."
When James joined Kris (and Boy Abunda, who interviewed them), he looked remorseful, as if burdened by guilt.
James, again, asked for forgiveness as Kris looked at him with only a faint smile.
“Yeah,” James said, “we really had problems, and I truly apologize to her. I told her I’d do anything to be forgiven because I love her, our son, and the baby we’re expecting.”
There. All cards on the table.
Kris concluded, “Nobody can destroy our family. Nobody has the right to judge James or me.”
