Former DILG Chief Mel Sarmiento can no longer be seen on Kris Aquino’s Instagram account, this is after the Queen of All Media seemed to have deleted all her fiancé’s photos from her account.

Aquino’s last Instagram post with Sarmiento was dated Dec. 25, when she spoke about her health after doing relief work in Negros Occidental. In the now-deleted post, she shared how Sarmiento, who was with her during the relief operations, assisted her when she was about to faint from exhaustion.

In her recent Instagram post, Kris finally breaks her silence as she confirmed her break-up with the ex-DILG Chief.

In her social media post, she posted her statement with screenshots of Mel’s last text messages to her.

“Sa pinagdadaanan ko ngayon, may tao bang gustong pagusapan pa ang kanyang paghihiwalay,” Kris wrote. 

“I will just post screenshots of Mel’s last text message to me. After that you will never read or hear anything at all about him from me, because I still want to preserve whatever dignity I have left,” she added in her post. 

In the screenshot, Mel wrote that COVID-19 posed a threat to Kris's health and he being outgoing might endanger the Queen of All Media’s health. He said that he would accept Kris's offer of letting him go. 

“I will always cherish in my heart the happy moments we had together. I do love you, but I guess this is goodbye for your life is of greatest importance given that you have Bimby and Josh to take care of. You will forever be in my heart,” Mel told Kris. 

The host-actress also shared that her health has continued to deteriorate, saying she will soon fly abroad to get tested and find answer for her autoimmune conditions.

"I have accepted the TRUTH, many complications from having autoimmune may arise, especially because I am immunocompromised and we have been forced to live with a nearly two-year worldwide pandemic," she said.

Kris also asked the public to respect her privacy as she is having a health battle. 

“I only request for some respect for my humanity and privacy now and in the coming months when I fight for my health, because I was brave enough to show you and tell you the truth,” said Kris. 

Some media personalities like K Brosas, Miles Ocampo, Mr. and Mrs. Francisco, Darla, and Senator Kiko Pangilinan also sent their support to Kris as they commented on her Instagram post.

In October last year, Kris announced her engagement with Mel, thanking him for “loving her for her with no agenda.”
