Now it can be told. Batangas Vice Governor Mark Leviste already knew Kris Aquino’s boyfriend, Dr. Michael Padlan, long before the Queen of Talk went into a relationship with him.
“Kilala ko si Dr. Mike, sometime in 2023, nu’ng magkasama pa kami ni Kris. Pinaasikaso ako kay Dr. Mike para sumailalim sa isang executive check up sa Makati Medical Center,” Mark said in a recent interview.
“Nakilala ko siya through Kris and nakilala ko siya nu’ng nasa America kami. We’re all friends,” the vice governor added.
Like Kris, Mark is in a happy relationship with Sparkle artist and vlogger Aira Lopez.
“From day one, we connected well. I felt the spark and I’m happy where I am right now. We’re having fun. We’re having a happy and harmonious relationship these last six months going on seven,” Mark said.
Despite his breakup with Kris, Mark happily announced that they separated as friends.
“We were civil and maayos naman. We are friends and will be friends, and I would like to believe we are still friends,” he said.
“Maganda naman ang aming pinagsamahan and naniniwala ako na kami ay mananatiling magkaibigan,” pahayag ni Mark,” he added.
Mark wished Kris better health as she celebrated her 54th birthday last February 14.
“I wish and pray for her speedy recovery and hope for good health, happiness, and harmony for Kris, her sons, and family.
“Siyempre lagi kong sinasama sa aking panalangin ang kanyang agarang paggaling,” Mark said. (NIGEL CHAVEZ DE ESTRADA)
