Pinalitan na ni Queen of All Media Kris Aquino ang display picture niya sa Instagram ng litrato nila ng kaniyang fiance na si dating Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Mel Sarmiento.
Ibinahagi rin ni Kristeta sa IG ang video ng naging pag-uusap nila ng anak na si Bimby tungkol sa kaniyang engagement, at kung paano ba sila nagkakilala ni Mel.
"When I asked your permission last week, why was it so easy for you to say yes to me?" ani Kris sa kaniyang anak na si Bimby.
"It's because he loves you with no agenda at all. And you can really tell he wants to take care of you, me, and Kuya. And basically I can tell, ha, whenever he looks at you, his eyes twinkle-twinkle. Basta, you can feel, he genuinely loves you, Mama," wika naman ni Bimby.

Matatandaang ginulat ni Kris ang publiko nang ihayag niya sa IG post noong Oktubre 24 ang pagpayag niyang maging 'Mrs. Sarmiento'.
"Somehow I believe there really was a matchmaker in heaven who must be smiling now- I can almost hear his voice telling me, “kristina, tama na, respect the fact na gusto ni Mel ng tahimik na buhay.” And finally, “bunso” has learned to obey."
"To my best friend and the man i said yes to spending the rest of my life with, thank you for as bimb said loving me for me, with no agenda, and for being just an overall good and patient man. It’s unreal how much more calm & peaceful i feel now that you’re here."
"We would never have met nor reconnected had it not been for Noy. Thank you to my kuya, kahit wala na sya ramdam na ramdam ko na kahit ilang beses kaming nagkatampuhan, kahit kailan gagawa talaga sya ng paraan na ma-assure kami nila Kuya Josh at Bimb kung gaano nya kami kamahal at hindi talaga sya papayag na ma feel namin na kami ay mapapabayaan. We love you and we miss you."
"But THANK YOU, you must have known how broken I’d be to lose you, so you made sure there was someone who not only helped wipe away my tears, he’s made it possible for me to smile and laugh again. Dumating ng hindi ko hinahanap o inaasahan- kaya nga tama silang lahat na nagsabi in God’s perfect time."
"We agreed, what’s personal shall remain private so hanggang dito lang ang pwede kong ma share. Except I guess to say as much as I am proud to be an Aquino, looking forward na kong maging Sarmiento."
