Kris Aquino revealed that she is now diagnosed with nine autoimmune diseases.
On Instagram, the Queen of All Media said that she is suffering from Autoimmune Thyroiditis, Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria, EGPA, Systemic Sclerosis/ Scleroderma, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Polymyositis, and Mixed Connective Tissue disease.
She hardly exits her safe zone bubble in Bonifacio Global City, and she has many food, medicinal, and environmental allergies. She is not allowed any sunlight.
"Bimb's got me, but it's not fair to expect him to always be by my side. I'm excited to meet whoever his first girlfriend will be, there's someone I really like for him—but when you push too much it's already meddling," she said.
Kris continues to hold onto her faith that she can recover her strength.
"Please don't give up? The odds are against my survival, but I have faith in the power of prayer. Jesus healed so many. Autoimmune has no cure. But I still believe the Holy Spirit will guide my doctors. And I don't break my promises, I said I'd return for you to watch me—I am hoping to be strong enough before Mother's Day."
Kris also reflected on her past relationship with Dr. Michael Padlan and how she believed that she would finally have her happily ever after, but she expected too much.
"As my autoimmune diseases multiplied, the more he retreated. After a very stressful time when we returned home, I forgave and I fought hard for our relationship, while he couldn't forget and gave up on us. Nobody should be blamed, I'm not ashamed to admit, I was the one who loved and needed more," she said.
She said that her relationship with Dr. Mike was her last chance to love.
"Please notice—I spoke only for myself, I cannot speak for Doc Mike. But I do accept and understand that I loved him much more than he was capable of loving me," she said.
In February, Kris made her first public appearance following her health challenges to attend the People Asia People of the Year 2025 awards night and showed support for her friend Michael Leyva.
