JAMES YAP – The PBA superstar reacted to the engagement of his ex-wife Kris Aquino with former Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Mel Sarmiento.
It was on Sunday, October 24 when Kris announced her engagement with the ex-DILG secretary.
Sarmiento served as DILG secretary under the presidency of late President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III from September 2015 until June 2016.
When asked for his reaction with regards to the engagement of his ex-wife, James Yap replied: “Happy for her [three thumbs up emojis]”
James is now happy with his current partner Michela Cazzola and they already have two children; Michael James and Francesca Michelle.
Meanwhile, James and Kris met on February 6, 2005, at a restaurant in Greenhills, San Juan.
In the cover story of YES! Magazin in 2011, James shared that he requested talent manager Dondon Monteverde to personally meet Kris, who has been his high school crush.
Five months after getting to know each other, the two got married through a private ceremony inside the house of Boy Abunda in Quezon City.
They were blessed to have a child, Bimby Aquino Yap. Aside from Bimby, Kris also has another child, Josh, with her ex-partner, action star Phillip Salvador.
However, their married life was ruined by the alleged infidelity of James. But the basketball star denied the allegations thrown at him at the time.
On June 27, 2010, Kris announced via defunct showbiz talk show, The Buzz, that they have separated. Their marriage was annulled by the court last January 9, 2012.
