"Excited ako na makakasama ko ang anak ko sa birthday ko mismo (February 15). Medyo matagal ko nang hindi nakasama ang anak ko," James told "Bandila" in an interview on Thursday, February 13.
Although Kris and James agreed on visitation rights for their son, the permanent protection order the actress-TV host filed against the cager is reportedly making it hard for him to visit Bimby. As a result, James hasn’t seen Bimby for months.
Kris' other son, Josh will also see James after quite some time.
Good words for Josh
James has good words for Bimby’s older brother.
"Si Josh mabait iyon eh, ilang taon ko rin siyang nakasama."
James feels overwhelmed for making it to the PBA finals. He scored 30 points during the do-or-die game against Ginebra San Miguel Kings.
"Lahat ng tao nakatutok. Sobrang saya nung nanalo. Masaya ang experience, ang daming nanunuod."
He is grateful to Kris for saying that he has no reason to sell Game 6 of the PBA Philippine Semifinals.
"Wow, thank you. Nasurprise ako doon. Hindi ko ini-expect."
Enjoy life
James not only wished Kris a happy birthday on February 14. He also wants her to "enjoy life" and hopes that they can resolve their issues someday.
Meanwhile, Kris revealed that even her family was surprised when she defended James.
"Nasurprise siya, pati family ko, James, nasurprise. Sabi ng family ko, 'You must really be happy.' Para magawa ko raw iyon. And i said 'Yes.' Sabi niya, 'If you're happy then 'I'm happy na rin," Kris said during the Thursday episode of "Aquino & Abunda Tonight."
