Kris Aquino Says This Might Be the Last Birthday She Gets to Spend W/ Bimby
KRIS AQUINO – Actress-host Kris Aquino tearfully admitted that this could be the last birthday she gets to spend with her son Bimby, making the intimate celebration all the more emotional and meaningful.
Bimby Aquino Yap, the son of Kris Aquino and former PBA player James Yap, recently celebrated his 18th birthday in a simple yet heartfelt gathering abroad. The occasion, held on Black Saturday, April 19, was shared intimately with his mother Kris and older brother Josh. While the celebration was modest, it was filled with love, reflection, and emotional depth—highlighting the strong bond among the Aquino family.
RB Chanco, a well-known makeup artist and longtime friend of Kris, shared moments from the celebration on social media, along with a touching message for Bimby. In her post, she praised the young man for his “quiet strength” and “gentle heart,” admiring his humility and deep love for family despite growing up in the public eye.
RB also revealed a poignant moment shared with Kris, who confided her fear that this could be the last birthday she would get to spend with her youngest son. As Kris continues her fight against autoimmune diseases, this emotional confession left a lasting impact on RB. “Your mom once said this might be the last birthday she gets to spend with you, and that stayed with me,” she shared.
Despite the emotional undertones, RB expressed hope that Bimby’s presence will continue to give Kris the strength to keep fighting. “As long as you’re by her side, she’ll keep finding the strength to keep going,” she said. “You’ve given so much of yourself to her, and that love is something truly rare.”
In her final words to Bimby, RB called him a gift to his family and all who know him, offering encouragement as he steps into adulthood. “Eighteen’s just the beginning and whatever life brings, I know you’ve got what it takes,” she wrote.
In the face of adversity, the Aquino family’s quiet celebration was a powerful reminder of the importance of love, unity, and unwavering faith.
