It's a Merry Christmas indeed for PBA star James Yap as he reunites with his partner, Michela Cazzola, and their kids MJ and Francesca, in time for the holidays.
After almost four months, PBA star James Yap has finally reunited with his kids Michael James, or simply MJ, and Francesca, whom she shares with Italian banker Michela Cazzola.
Amid the growing concerns on COVID-19, the 38-year-old cager flew to Italy to be with his family this holiday season.
On his Instagram account, James posted a cute portrait with his kids who are holding a placard with the words "Welcome Papa."
James shared another photo showing his family is complete.
James and Michela may have been rumored to be separated before but it looks they're having a great time as a family now that they are reunited, as seen in the Italian beauty's latest Instagram photos.
It was in 2018 when netizens speculated that there's trouble in paradise for James and Michela because of her absence at the wedding of the basketball player's sister.
On Michela's photo, one user commented, "I hope everything is ok with you and James kasi nakaka-sad.”
Michela then responded saying, “Why, 'cause I said a good photographer took my photo? Or what? The caption? What's with the caption. You don't see or don't get the beauty of those words?”
James and Michela have been together since 2012. They welcomed their first child, MJ, in 2016. Two years after, their second child, Francesca, was born.
James has two children from his previous relationships, including Bimby, his son with ex-wife Kris Aquino.
