"Siya yung parati kong kakampi, everyday no fail she checks on me, instinctively knows when something is not quite right, and I feel I can (and I do) tell her EVERYTHING because SURE ako she’ll try her best to still understand and continue to LOVE me regardless of my imperfections," she added.

Addressing Ballsy, Kris finally said: "I love you with all my heart, and on a day I really didn’t want you to feel sad (even though I know we all still are), I’m glad I made you feel just how much you are #LOVED."
