Actress AJ Raval opened up about stepping away from showbiz during an emotional interview on Fast Talk With Boy Abunda aired on GMA. She revealed that her hiatus was not a mutual decision with her partner, Aljur Abrenica.
AJ said she took a break because of intense bashings and online allegations. She explained,
“Nawalan ako ng gana dahil sa bashings.”
She shared that growing up on a farm with few people made her value privacy and peace, which she needed during that difficult period.
Boy Abunda clarified that everyone involved denies the claim AJ was the third party in the breakup between Aljur Abrenica and his ex-wife Kylie Padilla.
AJ also revealed for the first time that she is a mother of five children. Her eldest is from a previous relationship, her second child has passed away, and her three youngest are with Aljur Abrenica.
