Kylie Padilla turns emotional as she shares current outlook on love
Kylie Padilla became emotional as she shared a deeply personal and emotional insight into her current perspective on love, revealing a new approach centered on divine inspiration. In 'Fast Talk with Boy Abunda' Friday, the Sparkle star candidly expressed her journey and her desire not to be defined by past traumas. 'I'm trying something new kasi marami akong—ako, 'di ko na-survive 'yung gano'ng nangyari sa 'kin. Alam niyo naman lahat 'yon. So I'm trying something new where I'm trying to understand how God would love,' she said. Kylie's current outlook is influenced by a divine approach, where she seeks to comprehend and emulate God's love. 'If God can love me and forgive me and come from a place na hindi nauubos, baka kaya ko rin. Lagi akong nagdadasal na teach me how I can love the way you do kasi I don't wanna be shaped by the bad things that traumatized me or that hurt me,' she said. The actress's motivation extends to her children, as she wishes for them to witness resilience and love despite adversity. 'I want my kids to see that no matter what happened to you, you still should come from a place of love. So 'yun 'yung outlook ko with love right now. Kasi for a time din naging bitter din ako, 'di ba? So the only way I feel I can be healed is higher being na,' she said. Kylie has two sons, Alas and Axl, with Aljur Abrenica. Kylie and Aljur parted ways in 2021. Aljur later admitted that he cheated on Kylie. Following the separation, Kylie and the boys moved into their new home. In September 2023, Kylie shared that she does not hold them back from seeing their dad and that she does not want to put him in a negative light. During Kylie's guesting in "Fast Talk" on Friday with "My Father's Wife" co-star Kazel Kinouchi, the two actresses admitted that they are both taken, but did not share details about their partners. Kylie and Kazel will star in "My Father's Wife" with Gabby Concepcion, Jak Roberto, and more. It will premiere on GMA Afternoon Prime on June 23. —Carby Rose Basina/CDC, GMA Integrated News
