Kylie Padilla travels with kids to Japan without help: 'It wasn't easy... but that's exactly what I wanted’
Kylie Padilla got to spend quality time with her sons, Alas Joaquin and Axl Romeo, during their vacation trip to Japan.
On Tuesday, July 4, the actress shared photos on Instagram of the family at Universal Studios Japan.
"Bucket list check," she wrote in one post, with photos taken at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Universal Studios.
In the next post, Kylie recalled writing in her diary, manifesting a trip with her sisters, and that it finally happened this year.
"Last year I wrote down in my diary 'Trip with sisters.' This year it happened," she wrote in the caption. "It wasn’t easy taking two kiddos under 6 abroad with no help but that’s exactly what I wanted," she said.
Kylie added that she and her sisters "worked as a team to take care of each other and each other’s children."
"If that’s not family I don’t know what is," Kylie added.
The mom-of-two said she won't post pictures of her sisters and their kids because she respects their privacy.
"But yes, this one was for the books too," she noted.
Fans in the comments section praised Kylie for raising her two boys as a single mom. They were delighted to see the photos of Kylie and her sons spending time together.
"Wow enjoy kayu kylie," said host-actress Melai Francisco.
"It was really amazing how you managed everything on your own. So proud of you Kylie," wrote one.
"You are an amazing mom!! I admire how you take care of your boys!! They are lucky to have you as their mother!" exclaimed another.
"So cuttee.. And i feel u mamshi hndi po tlga madaling mag alaga ng bata lalot nat pag mga malalayung trip. But worth it kasi nkakaproud us a single mom," expressed another.
Alas Joaquin and Axl Romeo are Kylie's children with her estranged husband, Aljur Abrenica.
Aljur and Kylie first got together in 2011 and have been on again, off-again ever since. In 2018, they finally got married, but their marriage was short-lived.
Rumors of their split first started in February 2021 after Kylie posted crypic tweets, implying she is single again. In July of that year, Kylie's father, Senator Robin Padilla, confirmed that the couple had separated.
In October 2021, Aljur went on a social media rant in which he challenged Kylie to "tell the truth" about who cheated first and who "wrecked" their family, to which the actress denied.
However, in April 2023, Aljur admitted that he had cheated on Kylie during an interview with Toni Gonzaga for Toni Talks.
