Kris Lawrence talked about his new bond with Katrina Halili
R&B singer Kris Lawrence is embracing a new chapter with his former partner, Kapuso actress Katrina Halili, after over a decade apart.
In a statement last April, Katrina and Kris shared how their reconciliation happened. The actress went through a lot last year, and she acknowledged the shortcomings she committed, and with this, she apologized to their daughter Katie.
They started being okay last year, and Katrina invited Kris to her birthday this year, and this changed everything between them.
Their fans have been noticing the closeness that they have now. The former couple would bond with their daughter, and they would share a glimpse of the things they do together.
During an interview with Hot Takes, based on the article in ABS-CBN Entertainment, Kris Lawrence said that he is definitely taking care of the second chance that he has with Katrina Halili, a second chance at love; he does not plan to waste it.
The couple separated in 2014 after five years together and share a daughter named Katie. Earlier this year, they reconnected to rebuild their relationship through co-parenting. Kris noted that this shift has greatly improved their family dynamic and Katie’s overall well-being
The singer also emphasized that co-parenting requires sustained love and respect for a former partner.
“Hundred percent. As I said before, I’m a very energy-based person, right? So, the kid feels it. The kids will always feel it when you’re not okay,” Kris said.
He also highlighted that the balance between him and Katrina as parents plays a crucial role in Katie’s emotional development. Their daughter has mild autism. The harmony between them directly affects Katie’s sense of security.
“If I’m out of the picture, yung energy balance ni Katie is not going to be all there. You’ll have to draw from other sources. Kung hindi kami okay, hindi rin magiging okay si Katie,” he shared.
Kris Lawrence also said that he is thankful for whatever they have now. He said that everything is beautiful right now. They noticed that there is a big change in Katie’s smile. It is so much better and so genuine.
“It almost feels like she does not have autism. I believe it’s because the energy is all back and it’s all whole now…Now she feels love from both parents,” the singer said.
