The new Kapuso
In his exclusive interview, Kim Atienza shared about his decision to move to the GMA Network, after being with ABS-CBN for 17 years. Kuya Kim said that the Kapuso network’s offer was too big an opportunity to pass on.
“The opportunity is just too big. And it’s not about the money. It’s the opportunity to be out there again,” said Kim.
The popular TV personality also shared some entertaining trivia about himself, such as being a collector of reptiles, fossils and different antiques (he owns some dinosaur eggs!), and classic motorcycles.
He even showed the viewers some of his favorite bikes, including one that he bought from now fellow Kapuso Dingdong Dantes, and the motorcycle he used on his first date with his wife.

I love you so much my best friend, lover and wife with more abs than me. Happy Valentine’s day @feliciaatienza,” he wrote.

“Kaunting friction”
However, just like other married couples, Kim and Fely also encountered some problems during the pandemic. In his interview, the TV personality opened up about having a bit of friction with his wife at some point.
“Marami akong pinagdaanan this pandemic. My wife and I, we have a good relationship. Kaso, first time naming nagkasama ng 24/7. So nagkaroon kami ng kaunting friction, only to find out na hindi lang pala sa’min nangyayari ‘yon,” he said.
Other couples can definitely relate to what Kuya Kim said. Because after being cooped up in the house with your spouse all day and all night, it’s only normal that there will be conflict or some minor differences.
Couples fight. It’s part of marriage. What’s important is what you do to overcome those trials and stay together. And how you show your love in your partner’s darkest times.
Kim shared that this episode happened at the height of the ABS-CBN shutdown. As he was driving home from work, he cried and poured his heart out to God.
“I was in my motorcycle, and I was crying to Him. I said, ‘Lord, I worship you in the light. But now that it’s dark, I continue to worship you. And I praise you and your praise shall forever be in my lips.’
Nag-away kami ni misis noon eh. ‘Di kami nag-uusap. On my bed, tinabihan ako ni misis. Without even talking, without even having to apologize, she just gave me a big, big warm hug.
And that’s when I felt na sabi ni Lord, ‘Kim, relax ka lang. Nandyan ako palagi.'” he said.
