In a rare and emotional revelation, actress AJ Raval faced one of the most personal questions of her life during her guest appearance on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda on November 12. When asked directly by the King of Talk whether she and her partner Aljur Abrenica already have two children together, AJ’s response stunned viewers with its honesty and depth.

“Actually, Tito Boy, I have five kids,” she said in a calm but heartfelt tone.

AJ went on to explain that her first child is a daughter named Ariana, now seven years old, and that she once had a son named Aaron, who sadly passed away. With Aljur, she shares three children — Aikena, Junior, and Abraham.

The actress said she chose this moment to finally speak her truth because she wants peace and freedom for her children. “I just want everything to be over. I want my kids to have freedom,” AJ said, emphasizing that the decision was deeply personal and made after careful reflection.

She also revealed that her children have formed a warm relationship with Aljur’s sons from his previous marriage with actress Kylie Padilla — Alas and Axl. “They play together a lot,” she shared with a smile. “Alas is very responsible and caring toward the younger ones.”

AJ admitted that becoming a mother at a young age was not an easy journey, but she credited her family’s unwavering support for helping her overcome challenges. Despite facing public scrutiny and criticism over the years, she said that motherhood has taught her strength, patience, and humility.

Her revelation also reignited public memory of an earlier statement made by her father, veteran actor Jeric Raval, who previously mentioned in an interview that AJ and Aljur already had children together. At the time, he clarified that his remarks came from a place of excitement. “I was overwhelmed at that time,” Jeric had said. “I didn’t take it back because I didn’t want to appear dishonest.”

Now, AJ’s decision to be transparent about her family has drawn both surprise and admiration from fans and industry peers. For the first time, she has spoken openly about her life as a mother — not to make headlines, but to bring closure, peace, and authenticity to her story.

Through her honesty, AJ Raval steps into a new chapter — one defined not by speculation, but by truth, courage, and the love she has for her children.
