PEP rounded up the controversial men in the life of the Queen of All Media, who turned 53 years old on February 14, 2024.
Who among the men from her past could have been her perfect match?
1. ALVIN PATRIMONIO. “He was once my fantasy,” Kris admitted in an interview with Boy Abunda. While she said her relationship with Alvin went “far enough” for him to be the very first guy she cried over for. “Unfortunately, at the time, Cindy was already part of the picture. She was referring to Cindy Conwi, whom Alvin married in 1989.
2. AGA MUHLACH. Kris confessed, “Aga Muhlach was my first love.” But she didn’t elaborate on how she and Aga became an item. Kris and Aga headlined two movies together: Humanda Ka Mayor! (Bahala na ang Diyos) in 1993 and Bakit Pa Kita Minahal? in 1994.
3. GABBY CONCEPCION. Kris’s mom, Corazon Aquino, was still the country's president when Gabby courted her. The two starred in the 1990 movie Pangako Ng Puso.
4. ROBIN PADILLA. He first met Kris during her 18th birthday TV special. Robin revealed that he courted her by sending love letters. When they finally became a couple, Robin said that Kris brought him to several events in Malacanang because her mom was the President at that time. There were talks, however, that Cory was not in favor of their relationship.
5. PHILIP SALVADOR. Kris Aquino and Philip Salvador’s romance blossomed while they were shooting the film Nandito Ako in 1994. The bone of contention between Kris and her mom Cory, a known devout Catholic, was the fact that Philip was still married to his estranged wife. The couple were together for five years until they called it quits in 1999. They have a son named Joshua Philip.
6. VIC SOTTO. On YES! magazine’s November 2003 cover story, Kris admitted on dating Vic “a couple of times in the past, particularly during the time after Ipe and before Joey.” Ipe is the nickname of Philip Salvador, Kris’s former live-in partner. She clarified, however, that her romance with Vic did not prosper. Kris mentioned that Joey accused her of keeping in touch with Vic regularly via her phone. But she alleged that it was Joey’s tactic to make her feel guilty when he was actually the one who wronged her.
7. JOEY MARQUEZ. Kris had an extramarital affair with then Paranaque City Mayor Joey Marquez for "one year and seven months." The affair began soon after Kris did an exclusive interview with Joey at the Manila Hotel for The Buzz’s March 2002 episode.

She spilled details of their alleged violent fight at a condo unit in Taguig where they lived together. She further shocked the public with her confession that she allegedly acquired a sexually-transmitted disease from Joey. Joey, for his part, denied Kris’s accusations and insisted that he has nothing to say sorry for. But on October 2, 2003, Joey made his public apology to Kris. Prior to Joey’s public apology, Kris retracted the four legal complaints she filed against him. At the signing of their settlement, the two had a closed-door meeting for the final closure of their relationship.
8. JAMES YAP. They first met on February 6, 2005, at a restaurant in Greenhills, San Juan. In YES! Magazine’s 2011 cover story, James recalled that he was the one who asked his talent manager Dondon Monteverde to set up a meeting with Kris, his crush back in high school.

The couple were eventually blessed with one child, Bimby. Kris and James had their share of marital troubles, about his alleged infidelity. On February 24, 2007, Hope Centeno, former receptionist of Belo Medical Clinic, revealed on GMA Network’s Startalk that she and James had an affair from “March 2006 to January 2007.” James, for his part, denied Hope’s allegation. But on June 27, 2010, Kris announced on The Buzz that her marriage with James is “over.” Kris and James’s marriage was declared null and void by the court on January 9, 2012.
9. HERBERT BAUTISTA. They became a couple for “three months” in 2014. Although their relationship was short-lived, it went as far as Herbert proposing marriage to Kris "on the first Friday of April" 2014. But it took a year later when Kris revealed the details of the mayor’s no-nonsense marriage proposal. via live telecast on Aquino and Abunda Tonight. On Bandila's June 6, 2014 episode, the Quezon City mayor hinted at the reason he and Kris couldn't be together: his children.
