Matteo flew with Sarah to the US to show his support for his wife of four years.

Sarah received the Global Force Award wearing a Michael Cinco creation, a bejeweled powder pink corset gown. She also debuted her new 'do where she sports a shaggy haircut.
Upon accepting the award, the OPM icon made a heartwarming speech.
She said, "For me, this recognition signified courage and hope.
"Courage to accept and embrace one's self, courage to break boundaries and defy standards, courage to rise above all the challenges that one artist or one person has to face, and the hope that one day, this recognition will bridge the Philippines and all the nations to create change and positivity in the world through the power of music.
"Muli ako po si Sarah Geronimo, isang Filipina. Maraming salamat po, mabuhay ang OPM. Thank you, Billboard."
Aside from Sarah, Italy's Annalisa, and Brazil's Luísa Sonza are also the first recipients of the Global Force Award.
