Kris Aquino’s Family Opposed Her Marriage to Mark Leviste — The Shocking Truth Finally Revealed!

MANILA, Philippines — In a bombshell revelation that’s shaking the local showbiz scene to its core, Queen of All Media Kris Aquino is once again at the center of a controversy — this time involving her own family and her relationship with Batangas Vice Governor Mark Leviste.

Fans have been rooting for the two ever since their romance became public, with many hoping the ever-resilient Kris had finally found her “Mr. Right” after years of heartbreak. But now, insiders have confirmed that Kris’ family is firmly against her marrying Mark — and the reason behind it has stunned everyone.

A Fairytale Romance—Or So We Thought?

Kris and Mark’s whirlwind romance began quietly, with the two exchanging flirty comments online before finally stepping out as a couple. From heart emojis to sweet birthday greetings, their social media interactions sent kilig waves across the country.

Despite Kris’ ongoing health battle with multiple autoimmune conditions, Mark stood by her side — flying in and out of the U.S. just to visit her while she was undergoing treatment. To many, this was the kind of unconditional love Kris deserved after a lifetime of publicized relationships and painful endings.

But behind the scenes, not everyone was thrilled about the love story.

The Aquino Family’s Silent Resistance

Multiple sources close to the Aquino clan have now confirmed that Kris’ family strongly disapproves of her marrying Mark Leviste. And while they tried to keep their concerns private, the truth has now surfaced — causing shockwaves among their supporters.

“They don’t trust his intentions,” revealed one insider. “Some believe Mark is more interested in the clout and political mileage that comes from being associated with Kris than in actually loving her.”

In fact, concerns reportedly intensified when talks of marriage surfaced. Kris, ever the hopeless romantic, had allegedly hinted at the possibility of tying the knot as soon as her health improves. But family members, especially her older sisters, reportedly stepped in with firm objections.

The Real Reason Behind the Disapproval

So what exactly drove the Aquino family to say a resounding “no” to the idea of marriage?

1. Trust Issues: According to insiders, some family members feel Mark’s track record in politics and relationships raises red flags. While no public scandals directly implicate him, whispers of past controversies were enough to make the protective Aquino clan wary.

2. Timing and Motive: With Kris currently undergoing intensive medical treatment in the U.S., her family feels that this is not the time to make life-changing decisions. They fear that in her vulnerable state, Kris might be acting more from emotion than from reason.

3. Political Complications: Let’s not forget — Mark Leviste is an active politician. Some Aquino relatives fear that marrying into his life could drag Kris back into the political spotlight — something she has desperately tried to escape after her traumatic experiences during her brother Noynoy Aquino’s presidency and the subsequent backlash following his death.

Kris Fights Back With Her Heart

Despite the opposition, Kris has remained steadfast in her affection for Mark. In a now-viral social media post, Kris hinted at the emotional rollercoaster she’s been on:

“I may not be perfect, but I know my heart. I know who’s been there for me when no one else was. Sometimes, love means taking risks — even if it means going against what others expect.”

That cryptic post set the internet ablaze, with fans interpreting it as her subtle clapback at her family’s resistance.

Netizens Take Sides

As expected, the online world exploded with reactions. Some fans sided with Kris, praising her for following her heart and standing up for her happiness.

“She deserves love and support, not control,” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Others, however, expressed concern — echoing the fears of her family:

“Kris is vulnerable right now. She needs to focus on getting better. Love can wait.”

What’s Next for Kris and Mark?

While neither Kris nor Mark has given a full public statement about the controversy, insiders say wedding plans have been put on hold indefinitely.

Mark Leviste, known for his calm and calculated demeanor, has chosen to stay silent amid the backlash — a move some see as respectful, while others believe it’s a strategic retreat.

But sources close to Kris say that conversations between her and her family have turned “tense and emotional,” especially when the topic of marriage comes up. Despite this, Kris reportedly remains in contact with Mark, though she’s prioritizing her health and her two sons, Josh and Bimby.

A Love Story in Limbo

Will Kris Aquino defy her family and follow her heart? Or will she choose to walk away from a man who stood by her through one of the darkest chapters of her life?

One thing is clear — the Queen of All Media is once again caught between love and loyalty, health and happiness, public life and personal choices.

And as the nation watches this real-life teleserye unfold, one can’t help but ask:

Can love truly conquer all — even family disapproval?

Only time will tell.
