In 2009, Viva Films founder Vic del Rosario intended to cast Reyes in a raunchy horror film titled Patient X , but stopped short of making the film sexually explicit in order for it to be allowed exhibition in the cinemas of SM Supermalls. [15]

She made her breakthrough as a scorned wife in her lead film, No Other Woman (2011), co-starring Anne Curtis and Derek Ramsay. It was one of the highest-grossing film in the Philippines in 2011. Her film career is currently managed by the film company Viva Films.

In 2020, Reyes appeared once again on GMA-7 after 12 years following the ABS-CBN shutdown. [16] Since then, she has been doing projects for TV5 following the latter's renewal of its partnership with Viva.

In 2022, Reyes was cast in the lead role of Imee Marcos in the period film Maid in Malacañang , about the last days of the Marcos presidential family in Malacañang Palace in 1986. She later reprised her role in the 2023 sequel Martyr or Murderer .

Personal life

On March 20, 2024, Reyes told Karen Davila of her adoptive family's support. "My mom, she was going through a phase in her life where she had to go to the States, leave all her kids, all of us to somebody else." [17]

Reyes and Dennis Trillo began dating in 2007 and later broke up in May 2009. Reyes and Rayver Cruz began their romance in 2011 when Rayver allegedly left his ex-girlfriend Sarah Geronimo. Reyes and Cruz separated ways in 2012. Reyes also had a brief one month romance with Derek Ramsay in August 2013. Cristine had also been linked to Joross Gamboa, Keempee de Leon, and Mark Herras. [18]

Reyes gave birth to her first child, a daughter named Amarah, with her boyfriend Ali Khatibi, a mixed martial artist, on February 8, 2015. She got engaged to Khatibi on September 14, 2015. [19] The couple married in a private ceremony on January 27, 2016, in Balesin Island, Polillo, Quezon. [20]

In 2019, she confirmed her separation from Khatibi. [21]
