Airing their disenchantment with each other, former couple Kris Aquino and James Yap have been hogging the headlines lately.

Kris said her fight is for the welfare of their 11-year-old son Bimby.

It’s been six years since their 2005 civil wedding had been annulled, and there was even a time when they were on speaking terms.

In 2015, Bimby’s parents were both present during his first Holy Communion.

Kris also allowed Bimby and her eldest son Josh to join the birthday celebration of James’s partner Michela Cazzola in 2016.

Kris and James had once dated, fallen in love, and been married for seven years.

Their son was the strongest glue, and certainly the most significant, there must be other things that bonded Kris and James together all those years.

Digging further, PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) discovers they do have things in common aside from being parents to Bimby, beginning with their birth signs.

1. They share the same birth month. In fact, Kris and James’s birthdays are only one day apart.

Kris was born on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 1971.

James was born 11 years later, on February 15, 1982.

2. They are both business-minded. We all know Kris as one of the top endorsers of the country.

Even without a regular show airing on national television, she was able to rebuild her empire and thrive using the digital platform. Thus, she continues to rake in endorsements left and right.

Years ago, Kris also started investing her money in business ventures.

At present, she is the president of Nacho Bimby, which has a partnership with Potato Corner. The Potato Corner + Nacho Bimby franchise now has 11 branches in the metro.
