MANILA, Philippines- Basketball star James Yap has confirmed that he and his wife, Kris Aquino, are no longer living in the same house, and that attempts to settle their differences have so far not been successful.

Yap went to the Aquino family’s house in Times St., Quezon City on Thursday and talked with brother-in-law President-elect Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III.

Part of the conversation was about his problems with Kris, Noynoy’s youngest sister.

Yap said he and his wife haven’t spoken since Kris left their home Monday night. He said he has been busy with basketball practice for his game on Sunday.

He also said that he’s thinking if he will be attending the inauguration of his brother-in-law on Wednesday (June 30.)

Kris, in a text message, told Gretchen Fullido of ABS-CBN News that she had a long talk with her sister Thursday night about her marriage to Yap.

I am a big fan of Vice Ganda. His sense of humor never fails to make me laugh. I, in fact, once wished to witness one of his shows live. The moment I learned he’s going to have an ultimate showdown in Olongapo, I got so excited to watch the entire show. I am glad it didn’t fall on a Sunday or otherwise, there won’t be someone to look after my daughters.
