Before the most talked about reconciliation of the year (I believe it&#8217;s safe to say that), Luis was dating Kapuso actress Jennylyn Mercado and Angel was with Azkals hotshot Phil Younghusband. After splitting up with Phil, Angel admitted on national TV that she still loves Luis (gasp!) but did not confirm if he was the reason for her break-up with the famous athlete. A quick glance at both Angel and Luis&#8217; Instagram feed will confirm that they&#8217;re extremely happy where they are now.<\/p>\n<p>In July, two Kapuso stars confirmed their relationship: <strong>Lovi Poe<\/strong> and <strong>Rocco Nacino<\/strong>. After spending the Holy Week together vacationing in Europe, the two started to grow very fond of each other.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:absolute;left:-99195px;\"> buy ampicillin online <a href=\"https:\/\/primeraeyecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/png\/ampicillin.html\">https:\/\/primeraeyecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/png\/ampicillin.html<\/a> no prescription pharmacy <\/div>\n<p> Well, I think it would be quite a challenge not to fall in love in Europe.

After roughly seven months of courtship, Billy announced on their noontime that they&#8217;re officially a couple.

With a sapphire engagement ring and such a lovingly apt gesture, how can anyone say no to that? Just a few weeks ago, the couple tied the knot in an intimate garden (more like an enchanted forest, actually) ceremony in California.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_36873\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36873\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Bianca-Gonzalez-JC-Intal.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-36873\" src=\"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Bianca-Gonzalez-JC-Intal.jpg\" alt=\"Bianca walks with husband JC Intal.

Before checking in, she was asked to &#8220;verify a piece of luggage.&#8221; As it turns out, the baggage contained a banner that reads &#8220;Bianca, please say yes.&#8221; Then out of nowhere, PBA cager and Bianca&#8217;s longtime boyfriend <strong>JC Intal<\/strong> approached her and got down on one knee to pop the big question. Despite spending the first few hours (well, days) of their engagement away from each other, JC&#8217;s extravagant gesture doesn&#8217;t stop at the airport. During her flight, Bianca got three love letters from her new fianc\u00e9\u2014handed by two flight attendants and the pilot.<\/p>\n<p>In a clever rouse, Parokya ni Edgar frontman <strong>Chito Miranda<\/strong> told his girlfriend <strong>Neri Naig<\/strong> that she&#8217;ll be starring in a new music video with the band Typecast. So, while shooting the last scene in Tagaytay, the projector showed a special message for Neri that beautiful night in May. The projector flashed: \u201c<em>Ako na siguro ang pinakasuwerteng lalaki sa buong Cavite. Dahil mapapangasawa ko ang pinakamagandang babae sa Eastwood&#8230; kung papayag siya.<\/em>\u201d (I think I&#8217;m the luckiest man in Cavite because I&#8217;ll be marrying the most beautiful woman of Eastwood&#8230; If she&#8217;ll let me.) Then Chito approached Neri\u2014a ring and a bouquet in hand. To celebrate the newky engaged couple, fireworks lit up the sky. This month, the couple had two weddings: the first was in a courthouse and the second wedding was a beautiful garden ceremony in (where else?) Tagaytay.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_23659\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23659\" style=\"width: 653px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/chiz-heart-proposal.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23659\" src=\"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/chiz-heart-proposal.jpg\" alt=\"Sen.

Dingdong surprised Marian with a second proposal during her weekend dance show, saying, &#8220;I want to do it right this time.&#8221; With a Harry Winston diamond engagement ring, he got down on one knee and asked her to be his wife.
