Kylie Padilla crushed a netizen’s hope of her getting back together with her ex-partner Aljur Abrenica, saying that she and her children are “good” by themselves.
The celebrity mom took to Instagram to share a video of her and her two sons, Alas and Axl, happily posing for the camera. Padilla underscored that she’s taking the time to celebrate her kids on National Children’s Month.
“It’s Children’s Month, and I would love any reason to celebrate the two angels of my life. Last night we went to sleep in our own rooms and they came to kiss me goodnight. Alas, the thoughtful boy that he is noticed I didn’t have my usual cup of water on my side table and he went to get me one on his own volition. The sweetest thing,” she wrote.
“Axl, who is still my shadow, continues to follow me around everywhere and keeps telling me he wants to breastfeed again, huhu. I keep thinking to myself it is possible to command my body to produce milk again, lol. That was my favorite part of the infant stage too. Who knew I would find my soulmates in my two boys hearts? We are the three musketeers for life,” added the actress.
In the comments section of Padilla’s post, one netizen said, “Sana magkabalikan po kayo ng tatay nila (I hope you get back with their father),” referring to Abrenica, who’s now in a relationship with actress AJ Raval.
Padilla responded to the netizen’s remark, saying, “No thanks; we [are] good.”

The “Encantadia” actress also re-posted Laura Dern’s infamous monologue from the movie 2019 “Marriage Story,” where she unleashes her feelings about how society forgives fathers for being “imperfect” and “absent” but does not give the same grace to mothers.

In Nov. 2023, Padilla turned emotional in an interview with Boy Abunda after she admitted that she tried to save her marriage with Abrenica even when the effort “was not returned” and she was already “unhappy,” just so their sons would not grow up in a broken family.
At the time, the “Buena Familia” actress explained that she wished she left something for herself and didn’t give her all to her previous relationship.
The pair had been dating for six years when they welcomed their firstborn in 2017 and got married a year later before welcoming their second child. The former couple confirmed their separation to the public in 2021.
Last year, Abrenica confessed in an interview that he had cheated on Padilla, while, the actress confirmed in July this year that she is now dating a non-showbiz guy, who is rumored to be tattoo artist Jinno John Simon.
Meanwhile, Abrenica and Raval recently shared they are already planning to build their own family in the future but emphasized that their priority right now is their careers and the actor’s two sons from his first marriage.
