Lovely Abella, Benj Manalo mark spiritual birthday post-baptism

Filipino celebrity couple Lovely Abella and Benj Manalo celebrated their 'spiritual birthday' as Christians two years after getting baptized together.

Abella shared photos from the event on her Instagram, expressing gratitude to God for His faithfulness and thanking Victory Greenhills Church for guidance.

The couple married in January 2021 and welcomed their first child Liam in 2023; each also has a child from previous relationships.

Maymay Entrata, Abella's 'Hello, Love, Goodbye' co-star, underwent water baptism earlier this year at Favor Church after a period of being away from her faith.

'Hello, Love, Again,' the sequel to HLG, is set for release in November and will reunite Abella with co-stars including Kathryn Bernardo, Alden Richards, Kakai Bautista, and Joross Gamboa.

Abella recently shared a throwback photo from their Hong Kong shoot, teasing that fans should look forward to answers about the characters' fates in the upcoming film.
