Aljur Abrenica Criticized for His Appreciation Post for AJ Raval
ALJUR ABRENICA – The actor was heavily criticized because of his appreciation post for his girlfriend, AJ Raval.
In an Instagram post, he shared a heartfelt message for his girlfriend, expressing gratitude for her acceptance and unconditional love. He noted that her support reminds him that being himself is enough and that he values their journey together. However, many netizens reacted negatively to Aljur’s post, mainly due to the controversial nature of his relationship with AJ.
Previously married to actress Kylie Padilla, with whom he has two children, Aljur faced criticism for leaving his family. Some commenters questioned the sincerity of his words, suggesting that his relationship with AJ could fade like his past one with Kylie. Despite her explanations, the criticism has continued.
Meanwhile, their relationship started as a friendship while filming the movie “Nerisa” in May 2021. At first, AJ referred to Aljur as “kuya,” showing a platonic bond. However, by October 2021, she publicly announced that Aljur was courting her, drawing public attention due to his recent separation. AJ clarified that their romantic relationship began only after Aljur’s separation from Kylie.
Before officially becoming a couple in July 2022, AJ and Aljur spent a year getting to know each other. She ensured that Aljur had fully moved on from Kylie before committing to their relationship. Their romance gained more attention when they made it Instagram official on February 14, 2023, sharing photos and attending events together.
Despite facing ongoing scrutiny, AJ and Aljur have been open about their relationship, frequently posting about their experiences and interactions with each other’s families. Their journey reflects their commitment to honesty while navigating the challenges of a public relationship in the entertainment industry.
