Kristoffer Martin considers daughter a blessing

-

“It’s a blessing. It always has been.”

This is what Kapuso star Kristoffer Martin said after introducing his four-year-old daughter to the public. 

The 26-year-old actor turned emotional as he revealed for the first time that he’s now a father to a child named Precious Christine or Prè in a 24 Oras interview on Thursday.

Kristoffer said that he had long wanted to open up about his daughter, saying he was only waiting for the right time and wanted to give Prè the privacy she deserves. 

“Hindi naman kasi ako malabas ng personal eh. If you’re going to search dun sa mga account ko, talaga sobrang konti lang makikita mo sa personal life ko. That’s me. Alam ko kasi i-balance yung work ko sa personal life eh. Sabi ko nga, I want to give Prè yung privacy na deserve niya,” he explained.

“Sobrang tagal ko na siyang gustong ilabas. As in, sobra. Sabi ko, ‘Lord, pahingi ng sign.’ Isang tao lang talaga. Proud ako na nagawa ko ‘to kasi she deserves this. She really deserves this.”

While Kristoffer managed to keep his child out of the public eye, it was an open secret among his showbiz friends, including Alden Richards, Bea Binene, Rodjun Cruz, Thea Tolentino. Some of them are even Pre’s godparents.

“My friends know. Madaming nakakaalam. Ninong pa nga si Alden, ninang pa si Bea, si Rodjun, si Thea, madami pa. As in maraming nakakaalam. Tapos yung iba na nagtatanong na nakaalam and asked me dahil nga may haka-haka, sinasabi ko talaga,” said Kristoffer.

Asked if he’s on good terms with Prè’s mom, Kristoffer admitted that things did not work out between them and they agreed to co-parent. Prè is currently under the care of her mom in Olongapo. 

Kristoffer, likewise, vowed to fulfill his duties and responsibilities as a father. 

“Hinding-hindi ko papabayaan si Prè. Hindi niya mararamdaman na wala ako dun. Kahit anong mangyari anak ko si Pre.”
