Yet, even the most composed parent is occasionally confronted with the difficult, unvarnished questions only a child can ask.
In a recent appearance on the talk show Your Honor, marking its anniversary, Kylie opened up about the candid and emotional reality of co-parenting after a high-profile divorce.
She revealed the exact moment her young son, Alas, drilled down to the core issue of their split.
“May one time kasi, nagtatanong si Alas, ‘bakit kayo naghiwalay? Does papa not love you?’ Ganoon ‘yung tanong niya sa akin, ang liit-liit,” Kylie recounted, the memory clearly carrying a profound emotional weight.
This simple, deeply honest question highlights the complex emotional terrain parents must navigate when a marriage ends.
While the separation itself was painful, Kylie stressed the importance of protecting the children’s bond with their father.
“Okay naman na tao si Aljur,” she asserted. “Kami lang ‘yung nag-fail pero ‘yung relationship nila dapat solid pa rin ‘yun.”
The actress further clarified her current custody arrangement, stating the co-parenting setup operates on an 80/20 split.
"Ako ang 80 percent, siya 20 lang. Co-parenting pa rin kami. What I mean to say is, sa akin ‘yung kids, 80% of the time," she explained, emphasizing her central role in their daily lives while ensuring Aljur remains an active figure.
Kylie also unexpectedly addressed the persistent gossip surrounding the cause of the breakup.
In a teaser for the session, she surprised the studio audience with a seemingly lighthearted, yet pointed, remark: "Hindi po talaga ako ang unang nag-cheat."
This comment, delivered with a mix of jest and finality, served as a clear deflection and closure to years of public speculation.
Perhaps the most heartwarming part of her revelation involved Aljur’s current partner, actress AJ Raval. Setting aside any potential resentment, Kylie expressed nothing but genuine praise for Raval.
"Super welcoming niya sa mga anak ko," Kylie shared warmly. "Kasi nga nanay din siya, ‘di ba? Naririnig ko nga na lagi silang nagyayakapan, naglalambingan din. Eh gusto ko ‘yun kasi the more love that my kids can get from people who love them authentically, go."
Kylie’s maturity in accepting and even appreciating the kindness shown to her sons by her ex-husband’s new partner demonstrates a primary focus on the children's emotional well-being above personal grievances, charting a path toward functional, peaceful co-parenting in the often-turbulent world of celebrity relationships.
Kylie Nicole Sicangco Padilla is the daughter of legendary Filipino action star, now Philippine senator, Robin Padilla. She has forged her own prominent career as an actress, model, and singer under the GMA Network banner. Known for portraying formidable, often warrior-like, female characters in high-budget fantasy series—most notably as Sang'gre Amihan in the Encantadia reboot—she has established herself as one of the network's key dramatic talents. Her personal life frequently captures public interest, particularly her relationship with fellow actor Aljur Abrenica. After years of on-again, off-again dating, the couple wed in a private ceremony in 2018. They share two young sons, Alas Joaquin and Axl Romeo. The marriage ultimately ended, with their separation confirmed in 2021. Despite the breakup, both parents have committed to maintaining a collaborative co-parenting dynamic as they continue to prioritize their individual professional endeavors.
Recently, Kylie openly acknowledged and praised AJ Raval, her ex-husband's current partner, for the loving and very welcoming treatment she extends to Kylie's two young sons. The actress revealed that she has been informed that her children and Raval often share tender moments, including hugging and expressing affection for each other. Padilla stated her deep appreciation for any person who genuinely and authentically showers her children with love, regardless of her history with their father. Despite the dissolution of their marriage, Kylie confirmed that she and Aljur Abrenica continue to maintain an amicable and effective co-parenting relationship.
She also previously uploaded a touching video compilation offering fans a glimpse into her son Axl’s recent birthday festivities, which included both an intimate home party and an exciting indoor playground visit. The footage captured the sheer delight of the birthday boy as he eagerly opened his presents amidst a cheerful atmosphere set up for the special occasion. Also featured were dynamic shots of Axl engaging in spirited play with other children within a vibrant, multi-colored recreational zone. The social media post successfully chronicled the varied and energetic highlights of the celebration, clearly reflecting Kylie's joy and satisfaction with her son's memorable day.
