The relationship between ex-couple Kris Aquino and James Yap has improved a lot.
Unlike before, when Kris expressed how hurt she was over her ex-husband’s actions, Kris was quick to defend James when fans criticized the basketball star's performance in the Game 6 of the PBA Philippine Semifinals.
The San Mig Super Coffee Mixers player, who scored nine points in the
game, missed a three pointer. His team lost to Ginebra San Miguel Kings
with a score of 91-94.Unlike before, when Kris expressed how hurt she was over her ex-husband’s actions, Kris was quick to defend James when fans criticized the basketball star's performance in the Game 6 of the PBA Philippine Semifinals.
Ginebra forces do-or-die game against San Mig
Sell out?
Meanwhile, Kris denied that James 'sold' the game.
"Hindi niya gagawing magbenta ng laro. Dahil buong buhay niya, binuhos niya for that (basketball)," Kris said during the Tuesday episode of "Aquino and Abunda Tonight."
She added, “Kahit anong benta ang sinasabi nila matutumbasan iyon ng kikitain niya by making it to the finals. Ganoon kalaki ang kontrata niya. So there's no reason for him to sell the game. At the end of the day, you are as good as your last game. So tomorrow, good luck James."
James’ team will be competing in a do-or-die game against Ginebra San Miguel Kings for Game 7 on Wednesday, February 12.
No more anger
Kris said James would surely be happy to hear her good words about him.
Her co-host Boy Abunda, who admitted he is not a fan of James, also defended the cager on the show.
Boy said James' injury might have affected his performance.
"Sa aking paniniwala, hindi nagbenta si James Yap, hindi nagbenta si LA Tenorio. It happens. Sometimes you play well, sometimes you play bad."
Boy, Kris’ good friend, even teased her, "If I didn't know that you were separated, I would think that you are still so in love."
Kris denied this and explained that she has already "released all anger" in her heart.
Birthday with Kris’ sons
Not only did Kris defend James, she is letting him celebrate his birthday on Saturday, February 15 with her sons Bimby and Josh.
"On Saturday, happy birthday James! Alagaan mo si Bimby and si Josh. Nasa iyo sila, be good. You win tomorrow, prove everybody wrong," she said.
James is in a relationship with Italian Michella Cazzola.
