Actress and comedienne Rufa Mae Quinto is living her best life with her family in the U.S.
However, Rufa Mae wasn't expecting to find love when she first met her now-husband, Trevor Magallanes, during a vacation in the U.S. back in 2016. After being introduced by common friends, the two started an unlikely romance. Despite being single for years, Rufa Mae knew he was the right guy for her and it didn't take long for the pair to tie the knot.
Later that year, in November 2016, Rufa Mae and Trevor tied the knot in a wedding ceremony in Manila. They welcomed their first child, Alexandria Magallanes (or Athena), in February 2017.
After years of long-distance relationship, Rufa and Athena reunited with Trevor in the U.S. in February 2020 and have been staying there for the meantime due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Rufa and Trevor have also built their own home in the U.S. but they remain open to living permanently in the Philippines.
As of early this year, Rufa Mae is still happily living with her husband Trevor and daughter Athena in the U.S. In January 2021, Rufa Mae gave a house tour of their U.S. home.
