It is said that love knows no bounds. While some of us have a set of specific standards when it comes the person they wish to end up with in life, there are others who actually do not mind about the age, socio-economic status, and physical features of their partners-to-be, as well as the race, as long as there are genuine love, respect, and connection between them. Just like the celebrities listed in this Kapamilya Snaps feature who have found their forever in their foreigner partners.

Lovi Poe

The FPJ’s Batang Quiapo leading lady announced on Instagram this August that she’s already engaged to her British Hollywood producer-fiancé Monty Blencowe “a couple of years ago”.

In her recent interview with Metro.Style, Lovi recounted that they met during one of her trips to Los Angeles City, California, after one of her friends from Manila unintentionally played cupid to them by asking Monty to accompany her as she went around the city. Although she really didn’t need nor want company that time, she went on with it and the rest, as they say, is history. Despite being one of the brightest stars in the country, she has managed to keep their romance low-key and only made it IG-official by introducing him as her “date” in the Royal Ascot event held in Berkshire, England in June 2019.

They might have to be in a long-distance relationship for years since Lovi’s career is here in the Philippines and Monty is busy as well with his, but they’re able to endure it and are now about to get hitched!

Maymay Entrata

After making her ardent fans wonder about the identity of the special person who makes her heart happy, Maymay finally let the world know last year that it’s none other than her Canada-based boyfriend Aaron Haskell. She did it by posting a sweet photo of them together on Valentine’s Day, which also happens to be his birthday.

Since then, Maymay has been posting snaps and videos of them on social media, such as when she once again greeted him on his birthday this year. She described Aaron as “the most handsome, humble, wise, and patient man I know.”

Pia Wurtzbach

It was in January 2020 when rumors about the romantic affair of Pia with Scottish-Colombian entrepreneur and brand ambassador Jeremy Jauncey began to spread after netizens noticed that the photos they shared on IG were taken on same spots. And after keeping the speculations running through their series of soft launches on social media, they finally confirmed their relationship through their first appearance together on the cover of a magazine in June 2020, wherein they’re tagged as “the hottest pair in the universe.”

Aside from the love that they have for one another, another significant thing that they share is their penchant for travel. In the past three years that they’ve been together, the well-loved couple has already set their foot together in countless beautiful places here and abroad. The Miss Universe 2015 gave her sweet “yes” to Jeremy when he proposed to her during their trip to Amanpulo in May 2022 and had their beach wedding last March in one of the pristine seashores of Seychelles.

Joseph Marco

The year 2020 might have been an eventful one, but it’s definitely one of the best and memorable for the Pira-Pirasong Paraiso actor because it was when his relationship with his Russian model-girlfriend Dasha Romanova seemingly started. Joseph initially introduced her on IG in August of that year.

Despite their busy careers, the two couldn’t be more in love, as seen in their photos together that they share online. He captioned one of his posts, “The moment you walked into my life I found a side of me I never knew I had.”

Bela Padilla

Another celebrity who found love amidst that period of uncertainty is Bela, who made her relationship with her Swiss-Italian boyfriend Norman Bay public in October 2020 by posting a ph. In her exclusive interview with ABS-CBN News that same year, she disclosed that they first met in 2017 when she traveled to St. Gallen, Switzerland to shoot her 2018 flick “Meet Me in St. Gallen.”

They may have to be in an LDR, but they’re able to make it work by meeting halfway whenever possible. And just last February, they marked their third anniversary, with the-actress-turned-filmmaker posting an aesthetic snap of them together and captioned it: “Happy anniversary, cutie! You’re the kindest person I’ve ever met and you always make me choose kindness too. Thank you for being exactly who you are.”

John Estrada

In spite of all the challenges that they went through in the more than one decade that they’ve been together, the love between the FPJ’s Batang Quiapo star and his Brazillian beauty queen wife Priscilla Meirelles just continues to grow. And just last February also, they celebrated their 12^th wedding anniversary.

John and Priscilla are blessed with a beautiful daughter named Anechka, who they welcomed in February 2012. In her Magandang Buhay interview in 2016, she imparted that they met through her best friend to whom he’s closed to as well. His being in show business may have entailed various challenges in their marriage, but they’re able to conquer those because of open communication and honesty.

Jervi “Kaladkaren” Li

Love wins indeed for impersonator-actress Kaladkaren who has found her forever in her longtime British partner Luke Wrightson, who works as a seaman. And in August 2022, they celebrated their 10^th anniversary, with her posting a couple of sweet photos of them together on IG and regarded him as the “love of his life” indeed.

On their eighth year together in September 2020, the well-loved couple finally got engaged! Kaladkaren revealed that the spontaneous proposal happened while they were in their pambahay clothes and having a casual date at their apartment’s balcony during the lockdown. She gave us a glimpse of what transpired that lovely evening in one of her vlogs.

Ina Raymundo

It was exactly on June 17, 2000 when Ina and her husband, Canadian-Ukrainian businessman Brian Poturnak, first crossed paths through a group date they had with their mutual friends. There might be no sparks between them at first since she had a boyfriend then, but the universe had its way of bringing them together forever.

They eventually became Mr. & Mrs. on December 9, 2002 and are blessed with good-looking and talented five children, namely, Erika Rae, Jakob, Mikaela Jade, Anika Sage, and Minka Eve. And to mark their 20^th wedding anniversary, which fell on her 47^th birthday, the seasoned sexy actress took her followers to a trip down memory lane by uploading a clip of their nuptials held at Santuario de San Antonio Parish in Makati City.

Isabelle Daza

Last, and definitely not the least, is Isabelle, who has been married to her French businessman husband Adrien Semblat for almost seven years now.

In their Kris TV guesting in 2016, they recounted that they first met in the last quarter of 2008. They kept in touch on Facebook while she’s here and he, on the other hand, works abroad. She initially refused his invitations for them to date seven times, until it finally happened on his eighth attempt. Even though she gave him quite a hard time, he persisted until it was her who already said “I love you” to him in the early hours of June 1, 2009.

They dated for seven years before exchanging “I dos” in September 2016 in Tuscany, Italy. The couple are now doting parents to three children, namely, Baltie (age 5), Valentin (age 2), and a baby girl who they welcomed on March 23, 2023.
