It was only in June, when Mav shared the good news that she and Matt got engaged. A few days after, Matthew posted a couple of photos with his then fiancée and wrote a love letter for the Kapuso reporter.

“Finding someone who can trigger your trauma, yet hold space for you (sit with you in the feeling) with patience, empathy, and non-judgment, is a rare and beautiful gift.” Matt posted on July 9.

He continued, “I feel blessed to have found that in her. Thank you @mav_gonzales for taking me to the deep end and diving in head first.”
