Josh, she added, is staying with her’ “genuinely super loving cousin.”
As for Bimby, who recently turned 18, Kris thanked him for his maturity and strength throughout her battle.
“Bimb… has sacrificed much to take care of me. He is heaven’s gift, my optimistic adult who reminds me I should ‘never surrender,’” she said.
After undergoing more tests and treatment sessions, Kris has a plan to open up more about her odeal.
“After a few more scheduled tests and treatments, and my recuperation — Bimb and I are ready to reveal all and show you everything for the first time. Please continue praying, kailangan na kailangan ko.”
