Nakakatuwa na maayos ang sitwasyon sa pagitan nina Kris Lawrence at Katrina Halili.
Kinumusta ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) ang singer tungkol sa pagiging ama niya kay Katie, ang eleven-year-old daughter nila ni Katrina, noong February 7, 2024, sa opisina ng ALV Talent Management Office sa Ortigas, Pasig City.
KRIS AND KATRINA'S CO-PARENTING SET-UP
Lahad ni Kris, “We’re co-parenting. She’s here in Manila, she’s gonna be in my place on Friday until Sunday, so when she’s here in Manila…”
Sa Palawan—na hometown ng Kapuso actress—nakatira at nag-aaral si Katie.
Paano pagbalik ni Katie sa Palawan, matagal ulit bago sila magkita? Or may mga pagkakataong pumupunta si Kris doon?
“There are times I go, not as often as I would wish that I do, but when I have time talagang pumupunta po ako dun.”

Paano nila nagagawa ni Katrina na maging harmonious ang relationship nila as co-parents?
“Katie is, our love for Katie is siguro the secret. As long as you love the kid, anything goes, you know, like whatever’s…if she wants something, if I want something for Katie, Katie is the common denominator.
"So kung ano yung makakabuti kay Katie, that’s where we will be.”

KRIS ON DEATH OF KATRINA'S BOYFRIEND
At dahil co-parenting sila ni Katrina kay Katie, ibig sabihin ay magkaibigan sila?
“Yeah...we’re not fighting, we’re good.”
Sa katunayan ay nakiramay daw si Kris kay Katrina sa biglaang pagpanaw ng boyfriend na si Jeremy Guiab nitong January 28, 2024.

“I messaged her, and I told her condolence kanina when me and Katie were on the phone. But you know, I respect her space, and, of course, I can’t just show up at the wake, you know. So I’m still here naman, she knows naman I’m just here.”
Sa isang interview ni Katrina last year, sinabi niyang magkaibigan sila ni Kris.
And since their separation in 2014, they have been doing their best to maintain their friendship.
Pero meron ba silang naranasan na disagreements ni Katrina?
“For me, if there is a disagreement, I just go with whatever she wants,“ at tumawa si Kris.
