After five years of dating, Your Face Sounds Familiar’s singer Jay-R is now engaged to It’s Showtime’s GirlTrends member Mica Javier. The RnB star proposed at Nobu Hotel, City of Dreams Manila last Sunday, October 21.
The couple originally were at the hotel to shoot a music video, then had dinner at a nearby restaurant where Jay-R popped the question in front of celebrity friends like Coleen Garcia, Billy Crawford, Kris Lawrence, Jason Dy, Karylle, Denise Laurel, and Karla Estrada.
Fellow singer Jaya posted a video of the proposal on Instagram, captioned, “Congratulations Jay-R and Mica on your engagement! We are so happy and excited for your new life together. We love you and may God bless you always.”
Coleen also posted, through her Instastory a photo holding up the ring on Mica’s finger saying, “She still has no idea what’s going on.” Rivermaya’s Mark Escueta shared a video of the entire moment and used the caption #NewlyEngaged.
The couple announced the news as well on their respective social media accounts, Jay-R sharing a photo on Instagram that captioned, “Meet my fiancé.”
Mica posted a photo of herself smiling and showing off the diamond, sharing that she couldn’t believe Jay-R “pulled off the biggest surprise ever.” She said, “I had NO CLUE what was happening even while it was happening. The space went silent as I watched him mouth the words, eyes teared up, our dearest friends and family clamouring in the background… for a fleeting moment I froze in shock, thoughts battling between ‘are we still shooting a music video?!’ and ‘hang on is this for real?!’”
She ended with a message to her husband-to-be, saying, “I was stunned and it was surreal but there was no doubt in my mind, my answer was always going to be YES. I love you Jay-R and I’m so excited to be your wifey!”
