Among today's showbiz couples, Jennylyn Mercado and Dennis Trillo are among the longest to be together, having been a couple for seven years now. And in an exclusive interview with 24 Oras last month, the pair revealed that not only are they engaged, they are also expecting a child.
Now the couple has sprung another surprise. In a now-deleted post on Jennylyn's Facebook page, it looks like they are already married.
As we cheer on Jennylyn and Dennis on their new adventure, let's take a look back at the timeline of their relationship.
Before Jennylyn and Dennis met each other, they had previous relationships that resulted in kids. Jennylyn had a son with her then-boyfriend, Patrick Garcia. Alex Jazz is now 13, officially a teenager!
Dennis, on the other hand, had a son with his ex-girlfriend, Carlene Aguilar. Named Calix Andreas, he just recently turned 14 last month.
Jennylyn and Dennis first got together in 2010. However, that first time together did not work out, with the couple breaking up the following year. The couple had worked together on the movie 'Rosario' the year before.
It took them four years, but Jennylyn and Dennis eventually found their way back to each other. The pair had initially denied a reconciliation, despite posting photos of them together in Amsterdam and other European locations.
The couple has been going strong ever since, spending their holidays together and helping each other raise their children from previous relationships.
The couple has even collaborated on a number of projects, such as the 'CoLove Live,' a concert that was even aired on GMA Pinoy TV for Kapuso's abroad.
On October 29, 2021, Dennis Trillo and Jennylyn Mercado announced their engagement through an exclusive interview on '24 Oras.' After a while, a vlog was uploaded on Jennylyn's YouTube channel showing how Dennis proposed to her.

Dennis's proposal to Jennylyn also served as a family gathering for the Trillos and Mercados.
With their recent announcement, a new adventure awaits the couple. Here's to more sweet and loving years together!
