The actress made it clear that her past is not something anyone can use against her.
“Nobody can use that version of me against me, because without her, there wouldn't even be a present me,” she said, emphasizing that every stumble and misstep played a role in her growth.
“Every mistake, every lesson, every wrong turn—it all shaped who I am now,” she added, reflecting a sense of gratitude for even the most difficult chapters of her life.
Instead of distancing herself from her past, AJ explained that she honors it: “I don't disown her, I thank her. That's my growth, that's my story and I stand on it.”

Her message resonated with many who see their past selves with regret. AJ’s post serves as a reminder that healing often begins with self-forgiveness—and with recognizing strength in survival. She is the current partner of Aljur Abrenica.
Aljur Abrenica is a Filipino actor and model who rose to fame after winning the reality-based talent competition StarStruck: The Next Level on GMA Network in 2006. Known for his charming looks and versatile talent, he quickly became one of the network's most promising leading men. He starred in several teleseryes and films, including Machete, Dapat Ka Bang Mahalin?, Prinsesa ng Banyera, and Asintado. In his personal life, Aljur's relationships and family have often been in the public eye. He was previously married to actress Kylie Padilla, with whom he has two children, but their separation drew media attention. More recently, his relationship with AJ Raval has also been the subject of headlines, especially after they confirmed being a couple.
AJ Raval, on the other hand, is an actress, social media star, and vlogger in the Philippines. She is the daughter of veteran actor and action star Jeric Raval. The actress has appeared in several movies produced by Viva Films. The actress is currently in a romantic relationship with Aljur Abrenica.
As previously reported by KAMI, Jeric Raval confirmed that his daughter AJ Raval and her partner Aljur Abrenica are parents to two young children, a boy and a girl. The revelation took place during a press interview at the victory party of "Mamay: A Journey To Greatness" in Quezon City on August 23, 2025, according to PEP.ph. Inquirer.net reported that Jeric, who now has 15 grandchildren in total, shared that the couple’s eldest child closely resembles him. He also mentioned the children’s ages, a detail likewise covered by Bandera.
Aljur Abrenica then responded to Jeric Raval’s statement that his daughter AJ Raval has two children with him, showing respect for Jeric and understanding his perspective. Aljur said he is not yet ready to talk publicly about the matter. However, he expressed gratitude for his imperfect yet meaningful relationship with AJ. Jeric’s revelation reignited past speculations about Aljur and AJ having children together which both camps had previously denied.
