By Racquel Quieta

StarStruck alumni and Magkaagaw star Dion Ignacio has plenty of reasons to celebrate this year as he and his family receive one blessing after the other.

In January, Dion proposed to her non-showbiz girlfriend, Aileen Sison. whom he already has a daughter with named Dylanne Jailee.

The couple then tied the knot in late March in an intimate wedding ceremony at the Viridis Country Side Garden.

During his recent appearance on Mars Pa More, Dion talked about the struggles of getting married amid the pandemic.

“'Yan, naku. Dahil nga sa mga nangyayaring pandemic na 'yan, lockdown, buti naitawid namin 'yung kasal.

“Kaya lang, 'yung nangyari, ano na lang siya eh, parang intimate wedding na lang.

“So, family members na lang tsaka mga ninong, ninang.”

He also revealed that they initially planned to say their “I do's” in a civil wedding ceremony, but later on changed their minds.

“Sa huwes lang talaga. 'Tapos, naisip namin, 'Teka. 'Pag kinasal ka, isang beses lang mangyayari 'yon. Dapat maging special na.'

“So, kaya ayon, nagpakasal kami sa Tagaytay. Kaya lang, 'yun na nga, hindi na siya sobrang bongga na ano, wala na masyadong bisitia.

“Parang konti na lang 'yung naka-attend. Sobrang naging intimate na lang.”

Although Dion would have wanted more friends and relatives to witness and celebrate his union with Aileen, he's nevertheless grateful that they are now officially Mr. and Mrs. Ignacio.

Dion said, “So, ayon. Sayang. Ito kasing pandemic eh. Pero at least 'di ba? Ang importante nakasal kami.”

Celebrity guest Fabio Ide and Mars Pa More hosts Camille Prats and Iya Villania congratulated Dion on finally tying the knot with Aileen.

Iya then gave Dion an advice on what to do with the money they saved.

She suggested, “Siyempre, ngayon kung ano 'yung pera na na-save niyo dahil nga hindi engrande 'yung kasal, magagamit niyo sa mga ibang bagay, like sa house.”

Camille then said, “Or, mars, sa growing family, if you plan to have a child. O 'di meron na kayong extra pa for that.”

This is when Dion revealed another good news about his family.

“Buntis siya ngayon kaya may baby boy na kami. (laughs) Dalawa na. Dalawa na 'yung baby namin. May girl na 'tsaka boy.”
