Yes, Maria Clara, actress Bea Alonzo and actor and model Dominic Roque are engaged!

According to Bea, 35, whose real name is Phylbert Angelli Ranollo Fagestrom, the proposal took place at a balmy sunset on Tuesday, July 18 in Las Casas de Acuzar in Bagac, Bataan, where she was “there for a shoot.”

The Filipino-British actress expressed her joy with this new milestone of their life.

Bea and Dominic were immediately showered with many congratulations from their fellow celebrities following their engagement, GMA Network, Bea’s new home studio, reported.

Bea announced the happy news through an Instagram post on Wednesday, which has already fetched over 400,000 likes and 16,000 comments in an hour of posting.

Among the stars who greeted the couple are Heart Evangelista, Maja Salvador, Rocco Nacino, Jericho Rosales, Jake Ejercito, Drew Arellano, Zeinab Harake, Rodjun and Rayver Cruz, and Mavy and Cassy Legaspi.

“Yahoo! Mga bata ko ‘yan o! I’m very happy for [you] and Dom! Congratulations! Love [you] both!” said “It’s Showtime” host Vice Ganda.

“Omg! Bei and Dom! Congratulations!” Anne Curtis also commented.

GMA Network Senior Vice President Annette Gozon-Valdes also sent her well-wishes to the couple.

The actress narrated how the photographer, Mark Nicdao, kept telling her to turn around as he saw an angle he wanted to shoot, GMA News reported

While she “found it odd,” Bea obliged, and when she turned, “I found Dom kneeling with a box in his hand.”

“You see, I have done so many proposal scenes in my entire career, but nothing beats the real thing. I have been doing it all wrong!” Bea shared laughing.

When Dominic, 32, said his speech, Bea said “it’s like time stood still.”

“Everything went in slow motion. And I felt different emotions all at the same time — joy, excitement, love. I started bawling,” she recalled.

According to Bea, she “didn’t want that moment to end.”

“I want this real thing to happen forever… and right then there… In front of the people we love… we decided on forever,” she ended her sweet caption.

As early as last month, rumors swirled about the couple’ engagement after Dom posted about their romantic beachside date. Quickly, Bea denied the speculations.

Last week, the actress admitted they did talk about marriage but that they have their “own timeline.”

Roque admitted that he’s had a crush on Alonzo since they first met in 2016. Back then, Alonzo thought Roque was too young for her.

They remained friends since they first met, and it was not until the latter part of 2019 during their trip to Japan when she began seeing Roque in a different light.

In April 2021, Alonzo first confirmed that she’s dating Roque. The celebrity couple marked their second anniversary last January 28.

Bea confirmed her relationship with Dominic Roque in August 2021.
