Bimby Aquino celebrates 18th birthday with family, friends
Kris Aquino's youngest son Bimby has turned 18.
Makeup artist and Kris' friend RB Chanco shared a glimpse of Bimby's celebration on April 19 on social media.
"Bimb, you're 18 today and it's hard to put into words how proud I am of the person you've become. You've always had a quiet strength and a gentle heart. No matter how much you've grown, you've stayed kind, grounded, and full of love for the people who matter to you," RB wrote in the caption.
In the clips shared to social media, Bimby embraces Kris while the former TV host is in bed and hooked up to fluids. His older brother Josh was among the others who sang the now 18-year-old a birthday song.
RB also shared that Kris once said it might be the last birthday she gets to spend with her son.
"But I truly believe that as long as you're by her side, she'll keep finding the strength to keep her going," she said.
In Kris' March 16 post, the "Queen of All Media" called Bimby her "source of strength" and that she was "blessed with a son who will do all to lessen his mama's physical [and] emotional suffering." Along with this, she shared a photo of Bimby carrying her to the bathroom.
In January 2024, Kris said that Bimby "needed" to work to help out with her medical bills.
The former actress recently shared that she's now battling nine autoimmune diseases: autoimmune thyroiditis, chronic spontaneous urticaria, EPGA, systemic sclerosis/scleroderma, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, polymyositis, and mixed connective tissue disease.
"Five of [my autoimmune diseases] can cause my death. That has been hard to process. But I am slowly learning to leave everything to God's will because He knows best," Kris wrote on April 7.
Bimby was born on April 19, 2007 to Kris and her ex-husband, basketball player James Yap.
