Kapuso actor Ruru Madrid took to social media to express his heartfelt birthday greetings for his on-and-off-screen partner, actress Bianca Umali.

In an Instagram post, Ruru shared his deep appreciation for Bianca, whom he described as his number one cheerleader and greatest blessing.

“Walang salitang sapat para maipahayag kung gaano ako nagpapasalamat sa’yo… Ikaw ang liwanag ng buhay ko, ang inspirasyon ko sa bawat araw, at ang dahilan kung bakit ako patuloy na nagsisikap maging mas mabuting tao,” Ruru wrote.

The actor also reflected on how Bianca changed his life from the moment she arrived.

“Simula nang dumating ka, nag-iba ang mundo ko—mas naging makulay, mas naging makahulugan. At habang buhay kong ipagpapasalamat sa Ama na ikaw ang ibinigay Niya sa akin,” he added.

Ruru expressed how blessed he is to have Bianca in his life and vowed to cherish her forever.

“Napakapalad ko dahil ikaw ang kasama ko sa buhay—ang babaeng pinakamamahal ko, iniidolo ko, at pinapangarap kong makasama magpakailanman,” Ruru stated.
