“THANK you ML from the bottom of my heart for loving and taking care of C2 like your own -- there's nothing more magical than that.”
These were the words of Batangas Vice Governor Mark Leviste, as he revealed through an Instagram post on August 9, 2023 that his son, Conrado Antonio “C2” Leviste II, is in California and staying with actress Kris Aquino, whom he referred to as ML or “My Love” in his post.
Aquino is in Orange County, California for her medical treatments. She is suffering from multiple autoimmune disorders, the reason she flew to the US with her sons Josh and Bimby.
**media[455474]**Aquino confirmed her relationship with Leviste in May 2023, but she announced in July that she ended her relationship with the vice governor as she acknowledged that “he has many dreams left to fulfill and many obligations to the people who gave him their votes.”
She clarified that she and Leviste are “not enemies.” “We just weren’t meant for each other,” she said.
On Wednesday, August 9, 2023, Leviste posted a photo of his son C2 and Bimby in California, with the caption: “One day at Disney with ABC: Aquino, Binay and C2. I'm glad to see @conradoleviste getting along well with the Aquino Bros & friends.”
He said C2 is currently living with Aquino and her sons, and “according to TK (Tita Kris), they’ve been developing a tight bond and making special memories every day.”
Leviste’s post left some fans and followers hoping for their reconciliation.
“ML Mỹ love sooo sweet gov!!! hearts all over for what it’s worth always true love wins!”
“Iba ka talaga VG, ikaw talaga ang best partner for Kris, you’re very sweet, humble and loving. Ikaw ang bagay kay Kris. ”
“Seeing these pics with madam @krisaquino’s kids and yours, sir @markleviste means that your love for her is unconditional and constant. Hope the sweet couple pictures nyo ni madam ”
Leviste, in his post, also thanked Anne Binay, daughter of former Vice President Jejomar Binay, and her family for “adopting” his son for a day. Binay’s family accompanied C2 in Disneyland. (LMY)
