Buboy Villar has revealed he is now a father of three.
The Kapuso actor made the revelation on the podcast he hosts with Tuesday Vargas, “Your Honor.”
Since it was Buboy’s birthday episode, he was put in the hot seat, with guest and his friend Jelai Andres taking over as host.
He first revealed that he has a non-showbiz girlfriend, Khrizza Mae Sampiano, also called Isay. They met when Buboy messaged her online.
Buboy also said that a major requirement in a girlfriend would be someone who loves his two kids more than him.
“Number one rule ko talaga, syempre may mga anak ako. At pinakagusto ko talaga, bago ‘yan, bago mo ‘ko mahalin, gusto ko lang sana maintindihan mo ‘yung sitwasyon ko,” Buboy said.
“Meron akong dalawang mga anak at kailangan mas mahal mo sila, kasi sila ang buhay ko. Ngayon, ‘pag hawak mo ang buhay ko, hawak mo rin ako,” he added. “Hahawakin kita hindi sa para sakalin, hahawakan kita at aalagaan kita hangga’t sa makakaya ko.”
Buboy said that Isay is a very quiet woman and a great listener. The actor called her his “blessing in disguise” and answered prayer after being single for seven years.
“First time ko maranasan na, siya lang ‘yung parang laging nakikinig sa ‘kin. Parang ako pa nga ‘yung nagsasabing, ‘may gusto ka bang i-share sa ‘kin?” Buboy said.
“Kaya siguro din, Madam Chair, aaminin ko din, kaya kami biniyayaan ng isang sanggol. Kaya kami nagkaroon ng baby din,” he added.
Buboy and Isay have a three-month-old baby boy named Kyruz, nicknamed Kyrie.
Buboy said he kept it a secret at first because he did not want Isay to be overwhelmed by public reactions.
“Ayoko ‘yung parang mapangunahan siya ng mga tao, kasi alam mo naman, may social media, ang daming magagaling,” he said.
“Parang, kung alam mo ‘yung pinanghahawakan namin ngayon, masaya na kami dun. Hindi na kailangan mandamay pa ‘yung ibang tao, manghimasok na ‘yung ibang tao,” he added.
Buboy also said that when asked, he never lied that he was with someone.
“Proud ako. Proud ako sa karelasyon ko. Proud ako sa baby namin. Proud ako na mahal niya kami, mga anak ko.”
Isay also surprised Buboy on the show with a birthday cake. The comedian said it was the first time he did not notice hints of a surprise.
“Happy birthday, dy," Isay told Buboy. "Nagpapasalamat ako kay Lord kasi ika ‘yung binigay niya sa ‘kin.”
She joked, “And sana bawasan mo na ‘yung pagiinom mo.”
Isay also said she hopes God will guide them to stay together forever.
“Lagi lang ako naka-support sa ‘yo through ups and downs, alam mo ‘yan,” she said, adding that Buboy is always there for her when she experiences problems.
Buboy has two older kids, Vlanz Karollyn and George Michael, with ex-partner Angillyn Gorrens.
They broke up in 2020 but remain friends, and co-parent their children. —Nika Roque/JCB, GMA Integrated News
