AJ Raval confirms she has three kids with Aljur Abrenica
AJ Raval has revealed that she has five children—three of whom she shares with Aljur Abrenica.
During an interview with Boy Abunda, Raval, 25, opened up about her personal life, putting an end to speculation.
Raval named her children, saying that her eldest is named Ariana, while her second child, Aaron, is now an "angel."
Her kids with Abrenica are Aikina, Junior, and Abraham.
Raval said that she felt it was time to reveal her children to the public.
“Gusto ko na pong matapos and gusto ko ng magkaroon ng freedom yung mga kids,” the actress said.
Meanwhile, Raval said that Abrenica's children with actress Kylie Padilla have a good relationship with her kids, noting that the eldest, Alas, is a responsible kuya.
“Naglalaro po sila lagi and yung panganay ni Aljur si Alas very responsible sa mga bunso,” she shared.
While she found motherhood challenging in the beginning, she prevailed with the help of her support system.
“At first, mahirap po pero siyempre nandiyan yung pamilya ko naka suporta po sila. Kinaya naman po,” Raval said.
Raval was first romantically linked to Abrenica after the latter’s ex-wife, Padilla, confirmed their breakup in July 2021. Raval later revealed that she’s been going out with Abrenica, but denied that she was the reason for their split.
In November 2022, the actress found herself embroiled in pregnancy rumors when Ogie Diaz and Cristy Fermin alleged that she had recently given birth.
In 2024, rumors about a love child started circulating again after the couple was spotted in Subic with a little girl. However, Raval and Abrenica were quick to deny it.
"First of all hindi po ako taon taon buntis at tsaka kung mabubuntis man po ako ngayon, magalit man po yung maraming tao, ako pa rin yung pinakamasayang tao sa buong mundo," Raval said.
However, in September of this year, the actress's dad, Jeric Raval, accidentally spilled that her daughter already has kids with Abrenica.
“Actually, nadulas lang ako noon eh,” he said during a Fast Talk with Boy Abunda interview. “Doon sa presscon namin, mayroon akong kausap dito. Na-overwhelm lang ako. Parang normal lang na kwentuhan.”
