Kris Aquino: Mum on the identity of the guy she is dating /NPPA Images

Is Kris Aquino dating Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista?

Some people think so, especially after Kris posted a photo on Instagram,  which showed her family having  dinner with Herbert on Saturday, April 5.

Kris simply captioned the photo  "Family dinner." It showed the actress-host,  her sons Joshua and Bimby, brother, President Noynoy Aquino,  three sisters and their respective spouses, Kris' nieces and nephews and Herbert.

Herbert was  chatting with Kris' siblings in the photo.

'We're close'

Kris deleted the photo and replaced it with a cropped one, to show only the faces of  the President, Joshua and Bimby.

Herbert visited Kris  on the taping of the April 4 episode of "Kris TV," and chatted playfully with the mayor.  The camera captured Kris’ joy at seeing Herbert. 

"Ganyan po kami, we're close," Kris said.

Herbert, who has remained single despite four children, said in a previous guesting in "Aquino and Abunda Tonight" that he is the marrying type.

'I want to get married'

"Medyo siguro nerbyoso ako or something. If I plunge into it, what's gonna happen? I want to get married, sana soon."

Kris' close friend Boy Abunda revealed that she is "happy," but  refused to disclose the real score between the TV host and Herbert.

"I would like to invoke my right to silence. Responsibilidad po namin na sabihn lahat ng nangyayari sa aming buhay, pero nais kong ibalato kila Kris and Herbert ang kaunting natitirang privacy sa kanilang buhay," Boy said on "Buzz ng Bayan" on Sunday, April 6.

Kris herself has kept mum on the identity of the guy she is dating, but her former husband James Yap revealed that she is going out with a politician.
