Kris the first to know about James’ new girl

MANILA, Philippines - It turned out that the whole world (well, this part of the world at least!) was the last to know about James Yap’s new girlfriend who is the beautiful daughter of an Italian banker based in Manila.

James’ ex-wife Kris Aquino (the un-couple is pictured) was the first to know.

Reacting to Funfare’s “breaking news” yesterday, Kris texted this rejoinder: The Italian GF stays in the same condo in Makati as my close cousins-in-law. U see, I can keep quiet. More than six months ago pa naming alam ‘yan. But dedma and care bears. Hehehe!

She denied having a “secret” boyfriend.

In the same text message, Kris confessed: No boyfriend, no dating, no inclination to be in a relationship. My life is devoted to Josh & Bimb, my sisters and brother, and my work.”

According to those close to James, the reinvigorated Lover Boy will reveal his girlfriend’s identity “in due time.”
