AJ Raval Talks About Wanting a Big Family w/ As Many as Twelve Kids
AJ RAVAL – Actress AJ Raval recently surprised viewers after revealing that she once dreamed of having as many as twelve children someday.
Former Vivamax sexy actress AJ Raval once shared that she used to dream of having a very big family, so big that she imagined having as many as twelve children someday.
In the latest episode of the vodcast “Your Honor,” the conversation among the hosts turned to the topic of how many children they dreamed of having when they were younger. During the lighthearted discussion, host Chariz Solomon recalled her own childhood thoughts about motherhood.
“Ako apat, e, no’ng bata ako,” she said.
Her co-host Buboy Villar then shared his own ideal number of children, saying, “Gusto ko lima.”
But when AJ was asked about her own dream, she revealed that she once envisioned an even bigger family.
“Dati,” the actress said, “iniisip ko kung marami lang talaga akong pera, ‘yong pinakamaraming kaya ko. Mga ano siguro, twelve. Saya no’n. Ano bang gagawin ko sa buhay ko kung marami naman akong pera?”
She explained that her dream of having many children came from a simple and peaceful vision of her future life. According to the actress, she had already expressed that dream even before becoming widely known in show business.
“Actually, no’ng nag-start akong mag-artista, ‘di ba may workshop? Tapos ‘yong workshop itatanong sa ‘yo, ‘5 years from now, anong nakikita mo sa sarili mo?’ Sagot ko no’n, ‘farm, tahimik, maraming anak. ‘Yan ‘yong nasabi ko. Malaking family.’”
Her answer reflected a desire for a quiet life away from the spotlight, one centered on family, simplicity, and raising many children in a peaceful environment.
Today, AJ’s life has taken a different path, but family remains an important part of it. The actress is now a mother and has a growing family of her own.
Currently, AJ has five children. Three of them are with her present partner, actor Aljur Abrenica.
The actress publicly confirmed details about her children during her guest appearance on the talk show Fast Talk with Boy Abunda in November 2025. During the interview with veteran host Boy Abunda, AJ opened up about her life as a mother and shared more about her personal journey.
While she once dreamed of having twelve kids, AJ’s story shows how her life and priorities have evolved. Still, her earlier dream reveals just how much she has always valued the idea of having a big, loving family.
