The Queen of All Media Kris Aquino and former Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista reunited seven years after parting ways to reflect on what they've discovered about love and relationships.

Kris posted a video of her answering relationship questions with Herbert.

he actress began the Q & A with her definition of love, "I didn't believe my mom before, but now I do. She always said for it to be love, it had to bring out the best in you.

"Love should want to make you want to be a better person and you should want that person to shine."

Likewise, Herbert shared his view on love, "Love is sacrifice. You have to give more of yourself to the person you like."

Kris agreed and added, "It shouldn't feel like sacrifice. Because love mo, it doesn't feel like sacrificing anything."

The TV personality had strong views on second chances.

When asked if she believed in second chances, she gave a firm "no."

Kris explained, "Kung hindi niyo napa-work the first time around, there's a reason."

She added, "I've been married. Ilang beses kong triny. You know, when it's broken... Once it's broken, the people try to pick up those broken pieces, they'll end up na parehas silang sugatan. 'Pag basag na talaga, let it go."

Herbert asked her, "Tignan mo 'yung impression mo doon sa love and second chances, wala bang pure love?"

Kris answered, "I don't think it was love. I wanted to be married lang. Mali, e, di ngayon natuto na.

"No offense doon sa mga taong natatamaan, pasensya na po.

"There were portions na I really felt like I was really sacrificing," she shared.

"Doon sa marriage mo?" Herbert asked.

"And also sa'yo," Kris answered matter-of-factly, making Herbert and the camera crew break out laughing.

The two also shared what they have learned from their past relationships.

"Not to get into relationships again," she answered briefly.

She added, "Ako, inaamin ko, the career path I chose is very selfish. I understand now why they all ended up hating me."

Herbert thought for a while before answering, "Ako, natutunan ko [ang] pagiging patient, pagiging quiet, magsalita lang kapag kailangan para walang away."

He also described what success means to him, "Ma-me-measure mo 'yung success mo sa kung paano mo pinalaki 'yung anak mo.

"We cannot measure success without whatever we have, kung ano man 'yung dinaanan natin sa buhay. Para sa'kin, 'yung magapagtapos mo 'yung anak mo, mapaganda 'yung buhay, he's a good citizen. That's for me the measurement of success."

Kris said, "'Di ba sinabi ko sa'yo noon love is a double-edged sword? You would have loved me more if I was less successful."

Herbert said "Kahit successful ka, love kita."

Kris and Herbert dated in 2014.

In April 2014, Kris revealed Herbert proposed to her but broke up days later.

Since then, the pair decided to stay friends.
