LJ Reyes is now married to her non-showbiz partner Philip Evangelista.

The couple tied the knot on Sunday, Oct. 8 (Philippine time) in an intimate ceremony in New York. It was also livestreamed for their loved ones who weren't able to witness their wedding in person.

LJ's makeup artist Mikka Marcaida gave a first look at the stunning bride in an Instagram post.

The Kapuso star announced her engagement to Philip in May, quoting the bible verse of Jeremiah 29:11 NLT in the caption. "’For I know the plans I have for you,’ says the Lord. ‘They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.’" 

She moved to New York in September 2021 following her controversial breakup with Paolo Contis after a six-year relationship. They share a child named Summer. LJ also has a son named Aki with Paulo Avelino.
