AJ Raval’s mom Alyssa Alvarez is thankful to Aljur Abrenica after he decided to break his silence over his controversial split with estranged wife Kylie Padilla.
In a lengthy statement posted on his Facebook page on Tuesday evening, Aljur challenged Kylie to tell the public the “truth” about their separation after facing criticisms online due to cheating allegations.
“Tell them who cheated first. Tell them who you are with right now. Have the courage to settle this. Tell your dad the truth. If not for them, do it for our children,” read part of Aljur’s statement.
AJ, who’s currently romantically linked to Aljur, shared the actor’s statement on her own Facebook page.
The sexy actress earlier admitted in an interview that Aljur is “courting” her.
AJ Raval’s mom, on the other hand, took to Facebook to back Aljur’s statement, claiming that she already knew the real story behind the actor’s failed marriage with Kylie.
“He told me everything from the start, para makilala ko ang pagkatao nya, kung karapat dapat ba siyang tanggapin ng pamilya namin. Tao siyang lumapit sa amin kaya tao din namin siyang tinaggap,” wrote Alyssa in Facebook post.
Alyssa went on to say that she chose to keep mum despite the third party accusations thrown at her daughter.
“I kept my mouth shut. Nung nag ka issue na, mas pinili kong masaktan para sa anak ko, dahil alam ko darating ang araw lalabas ang totoo.
“Kinain ko lahat ng mga pinagsasabi sa akin na masakit ng mga walang alam sa nangyayari. Para lang wag na lumaki pa,” she said.
The matriarch, nevertheless, thanked Aljur for speaking up and for keeping his promise to them.
“Pero nagpapasalamat ako anak kase tinupad mo ang sinabi mong di mo kami pababayaan … Alam ko hindi lang ito para sa amin, pati na rin sa mga taong nagmamahal at nasasaktan para sayo,” she added.
Following Aljur’s claims, Kylie posted several cryptic posts on social media, including Rihanna’s tweet in December 2012 that read: “Never underestimate a man’s ability to make you feel guilty for his mistakes.”
