2023 was indeed a year of farewells and heartaches in the Philippine Showbiz Industry but little does everybody know that it was also a year of engagements.
Here are some of the celebrity couples that got engaged (or got married) this year:
1. Sam Milby and Catriona Gray
Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray and actor Sam Milby announced their engagement through an Instagram post last February.
Catriona teased the netizens with a photo of the couple holding coffee cups with “Mr. Milby” and “future Mrs. Milby” written on them.

“You see, I have done so many proposal scenes in my entire career, but nothing beats the real thing. I have been doing it all wrong,” Bea wrote in her caption

3. Lovi Poe and Monty Blencowe
This one is not an engagement — but a revelation of an engagement.
Lovi Poe finally spilled the beans regarding her relationship with British film producer Monty Blencowe.
