Is the marriage of popular television host and actress Kris Aquino-Yap and basketball star James Yap void?
The question was raised after the lawyers of Kris started the legal process to formalize the separation of the couple.
It was gathered that they are seeking annulment of the marriage of the popular couple based on the ground that their marriage was legally infirmed.
This means that Kris is seeking not just legal separation but annulment of her marriage with James. Yap, however, came forward to say that he will fight for his right as the husband of Kris. It’s final, said James of his plan to fight to save his marriage to Kris.
In an interview with entertainment journalist Ricky Lo, the star player said he sent flowers and text messages to Kris before the latter and their kids, Joshua and James Yap Jr., flew to Los Angeles and then later to Orlando, Florida for a much needed vacation.They are to stay in US for three weeks. “Sana may miracle na maganap,” Jamese said.
“As I said, I will fight to save our marriage. Gagawin ko ang lahat para ma-save ang marriage namin at mabuo uli ang family namin. I won’t give up until I have done my best and I have done everything that I possibly could,” James told Ricky Lo. The basketball star said that he was hoping that his wife would have time to relax and think about her decision. “It’s the first time for Kris to take a long vacation, away from the intrigues. She was under so much stress because of the campaign. Now that she’s stress-free, I hope that she will have time to think, sana mapagtimbang-timbang n’ya ang pangyayari at maliwanagan siya at pagbalik niya ay mag-iba ang desisyon niya… That’s what I’m hoping and praying for. Sana may milagrong mangyari.”
Yap, meanwhile, denied rumors that he is a womanizer. He also dispelled reports linking his wife to several men like Senator Francis Escudero, Makati Mayor JunJun Binay and young stars Gerald Anderson and Coco Martin. “Hindi ganyan ang asawa ko,” he said. Kris has issued a statement about the plan to leave her husband through her lawyers.
