Edward Barber and Rikki Umali



Former Pinoy Big Brother housemate and now pastor-in-training Edward Barber dropped a big life update when he confirmed that he is now engaged to his non-showbiz partner.

In a short video uploaded on the TikTok page of user @olivetreeshopp, Edward was visibly pumped up to share the exciting news.

Edward, smiling, said, “From the last time I was here, I'm now in an awesome relationship… Don't tell me that God is not real. I used to be the most single person in this place,”

“This is not the point of the sermon. I have a point for showing you all this. This is not just my girlfriend, this is my fiancée Rikki,”

“I proposed… Naunahan niyo ako, okay lang. I proposed to her so she's now my fiancée.”

Back in 2016, Edward shot to stardom after he joined Pinoy Big Brother: Lucky 7. His love team with Maymay Entrata was a huge hit and they did several projects like the film Princess DayaReese (2021).

Last January, FAVOR CHURCH MANILA posted on their Instagram page a carousel of photos showing some highlights of their ordination for the pastors-in-training, which include Edward Barbers.
