Sunday PinaSaya star Lovely Abella is now engaged to theater and TV actor Benj Manalo!
He set up the actress/dancer to do a cameo appearance in a music video when he popped the question last June 11, in a bar.
Lovely couldn't help but feel emotional after his boyfriend of three years went down on his knee and pulled off a ring.
On Instagram, she shared her "I said yes" moment and exclaimed how Benj pulled off his surprise proposal well in her caption.
Lovely said, "Hindi ko alam, hindi ko alam ang pakiramdam, 'yung totoong wala akong alam, as in kahit konting kaba, wala talaga..
"Lagi niya kasing ginagawa sa 'kin ang magpasalamat tuwing may mga ganitong pagkakataon..
She, then, said, "Ang galing mo babe @benj [clap emojis]
"Naplano mo lahat nang wala akong nahahalata.
"Salamat sa pagmamahal, salamat sa lahat..
"Alam kong 'di ako perfect, pero trying my best na maparamdam sa 'yo ang pagmamahal na deserve mo.
Lovely, then, concluded, "Love you so much!! Finally."
Lovely and Benj's celebrity friends including Jerald Napoles, Betong Sumaya, Kakai Bautista, Kim Molina, Pepe Herrera, Alex Medina, and Valeen Montenegro came to witness the couple's engagement.
