Kris Aquino penned a long gratitude post for Batangas Vice Governor Mark Leviste as she asked them for a pause in their relationship.

On Instagram, Kris revealed as Mark became her best friend and support system as she battled multiple autoimmune diseases.

"[Mark Leviste] is leaving to go home to fulfill his obligations to his Batangas constituents. Nobody I've ever been in a relationship with has ever given me as much love & encouragement. He wasn't only my boyfriend, he became my best friend and confidante, talagang maasahan," she began her lengthy message.

"I asked Marc for a pause because with my condition the way it is now, I'm self aware enough to know that a long distance relationship will be next to impossible for us to maintain."

Kris revealed that her condition has gotten worse and the physical manifestation started to get worse also.

"Thank you Marc for being here for me especially when my 2 'giants' went home BUT our reality is that there's a Pacific Ocean that divides us, a 15 hour time difference, and a 13 hour flight," she continued.

"You know how much I believe in you and the last thing I want is to be an obstacle in your career as a public servant. This isn't just a line, you will always have a place in my heart."

In the end, Kris thanked Mark for giving her a chance to experience how it felt to be in love again.

She ended, "We may not have had our 'happily ever after' but being sick has really taught me to look at the glass half full. Thank you for giving me the chance to again experience the magic of Once Upon a Time."
