Despite being one of the most talked-about personalities on social media and in showbiz, AJ Raval has chosen to keep her children away from the public eye. This was one of the personal revelations she shared during her visit to Maddox Jewelry, where she sat down with Charo Cordial while having some of her jewelry appraised and selling a few pieces.
According to AJ, she and her partner intentionally kept their children out of the spotlight for a long time because they wanted them to have a normal childhood and protect them from controversies and negative comments on social media.
Eventually, however, they decided to share photos of their children themselves before someone else could do it first.
“Inunahan na po namin. Kesa iba ang unang maglabas ng pictures nila, kami na mismo.”
During the interview, AJ also spoke about her unconventional educational journey.
She completed high school at the age of 22 through the Alternative Learning System (ALS) after her studies were interrupted by frequent relocations and the need to work at an early age. According to AJ, ALS became a valuable opportunity not only for her but also for others who wish to return to school and complete their education.
AJ also opened up about her relationship with Aljur Abrenica.
Despite the criticism they have received, she said Aljur is a responsible father and partner. According to AJ, he never forgets any of his children and makes every effort to give each of them equal time, attention, and support.
She also shared why they chose to live in the province instead of the city.
For AJ, she wants her children to experience a simpler way of life—climbing trees, playing in the grass, and having a treehouse—instead of spending most of their time on gadgets.
As their conversation turned to family, AJ also had several pieces of jewelry evaluated.
She decided to sell a necklace that had been given to her by her sibling, while a pair of diamond earrings gifted by her father, Jeric Raval, was carefully examined and confirmed to be natural diamonds, much to the actress’s delight.
According to AJ, she still treasures many pieces of jewelry given to her by her family because their sentimental value means far more to her than their monetary worth.
Throughout the interview, the public was given a glimpse of a more private side of AJ Raval—as a mother, daughter, partner, and someone who continues to build a quieter and simpler life for her family.
