James Yap: ‘Bimby is welcome to see his baby brother anytime’

Maybe there’s a chance they’ll become one big, happy family.

James Yap said there won’t be a problem if Bimby (real name: James Carlos Aquino Yap Jr.), his son with ex-wife Kris Aquino, wants to visit his newborn baby half-brother, Michael James.

Michael James is the cager’s son with girlfriend Michael Cazzola. She gave birth last Aug.

“Bimby is welcome to see MJ anytime, after all magkapatid naman sila,” James said in an interview Ricky Lo of the Philippine Star.

(“Bimby is welcome to see MJ anytime, after all they are siblings.”)

He added that Kris is also welcome to see Michael James “anytime.” “Walang problema kay Mic (it’s not a problem with Mic); it’s not an issue with Mic,” James said.

On Tue, Oct 11, Kris revealed that Bimby found out he has a half-brother via Facebook — which means James failed to inform the kid that he’s now a big brother. 

“I’ll be honest, I was afraid of how Bimb would react about his new sibling,” Kris said. “I’ll bring it out in the open. My child found out about it on Facebook. It was not known to him.”

James did not address Kris’ latest revelation in his interview with Ricky Lo. 

But James did say he and Michela are not planning to tie the knot soon. They are planning to have their son baptized in Dec. “We are waiting for MJ to grow up para siya ang ring bearer namin,” he quipped.

(“We are waiting for MJ to grow up so he can be our ring bearer.”)

And maybe Bimby can be his best man?
