Joey marries Eileen again, this time in church
Just a few days after making it official in the eyes of the law, this time Joey de Leon brings his lifetime partner Eileen Macapagal- now-Mrs. De Leon – in front of the altar.
It was not Eileen’s first time to be in a white wedding gown, nor was it her first time to exchange vows and rings with Joey. But what made their union extra special was that this time, they are now one in the eyes of God.
Thirty-five years in the making with their love giving birth to three children: Jocas, Jako, and Jio, Joey finally passed his last name to Eileen
Jocas, their daughter, took to Instagram to express her excitement and fulfillment in seeing her parents finally tie the knot – not once, but twice.
“I am still reeling from the events of the last 19 days: two weddings, three weeks total of planning and preparation… one great dream that has taken 35 years to finally come true. I love you mommy and daddy,” she captioned in a church wedding of Joey and Eileen.
Jako is also one proud son, as he retweeted a photo of his newly-wed parents, captioning: “HHWW (Holding hands while walking).”
The news of the bells ringing for the two first broke out in March 19, when both proclaimed their love by exchanging vows in the Supreme Court.

While Joey, a veteran comedian tasked to make people around him laugh is usually seen with that signature smile on his face, this second wedding with Eileen made him more emotional, as his face melting into tears of joy was captured in one of the photos uploaded.
The Eat Bulaga host was previously married to actress Daria Ramirez, who gave birth to two of his children, Keempee and Cheenee.
