In a heartfelt Instagram post, Kris uploaded clips of herself breastfeeding her daughter, Hailee Luca, whom she welcomed in 2023. Along with the videos, the actress reflected on the emotional and physical toll of the journey.
“Some moments are sweet and peaceful, and others are overstimulating and exhausting,” Kris wrote.

Kris also opened up about her ongoing struggle with lack of sleep.
“My baby isn't sleeping well at night with wake ups ranging from every 3 hours to every 1.5 hrs at some nights,” she said.
Despite the exhaustion, she emphasized that the experience remains meaningful.
“And yet, even on those days, I know this season is such a gift,” she added.
According to Kris, breastfeeding has helped her develop patience and resilience, while deepening the bond she shares with her child.
She described it as nurturing “the unspoken bond between a mother and her child.”
While acknowledging the challenges, Kris said she is choosing to embrace the experience fully.
“Sometimes weaning is not winning,” she shared. She added that she is trying to cherish both the joyful and difficult moments, knowing they are temporary.
The actress also offered words of comfort to fellow mothers.
“For the moms going through something similar. You're not alone,” she said.
Kris married businessman Perry Choi in 2021 and stepped away from show business after giving birth.
After a three-year hiatus, she officially returned to television this January.
She currently stars alongside Beauty Gonzalez in the series “House of Lies,” which airs on GMA Afternoon Prime at 3:20 p.m. from Mondays to Fridays.
Kris Bernal is a respected Filipino actress and businesswoman who rose to fame after winning the fourth season of StarStruck in 2006. Spending nearly 20 years with GMA Network, she successfully transitioned from being part of a popular love team to becoming a versatile leading and character actress, headlining well-received projects such as Little Nanay and Koreana. Now embracing motherhood, Kris continues to challenge herself creatively and has recently taken on bolder, more daring roles in the 2026 drama series House of Lies.
In recent interviews, Kris admitted she was puzzled after realizing that her longtime on-screen partner Aljur Abrenica had unfollowed and unfriended her on social media. She said she tried to reach out by contacting Aljur’s brother, Vin Abrenica, to confirm his contact details, but initially received no response to her text messages and Viber chats. Kris also wondered if a prank she pulled during the pandemic—where she pretended to be pregnant for a YouTube video and caught Aljur off guard—may have contributed to his sudden silence. The two eventually ran into each other backstage at TiktoClock, where Kris jokingly asked him about the apparent snub. Aljur reportedly told her that he had tried to return her call.
In a separate interview with 24 Oras, Kris looked back on her 18-year career and revealed that she experienced severe burnout before deciding to step away from show business for three years. Since returning in 2026, she said she has become more intentional about setting professional boundaries to protect her personal life. Kris shared that becoming a mother to her daughter Hailee gave her a clearer sense of perspective, helping her realize that her happiness and self-worth are not defined by fame. Now starring in House of Lies, the actress said she feels more confident, assertive, and fearless in choosing roles than ever before.
