Kapuso actress-comedienne Kiray Celis is undeniably glowing these days, both in her career and personal life.
Last Friday (April 25) night, Kiray faced the media with a radiant smile during the launch of her new wellness brand, Day-Li Supplements. Not only was she celebrating another business milestone as CEO and President, but she also proudly showed off her engagement ring from her longtime non-showbiz boyfriend, Stephan Estopia.
The engagement happened just this Easter Sunday at Misibis Bay Resort in Albay, during a festive Easter Egg Hunt event hosted by Kiray herself. Guests at the product launch were treated to a special moment as the actual video of Stephan’s surprise proposal played on the LED screen—eliciting kilig reactions from everyone.
In her speech, Kiray shared that Stephan wishes for them to tie the knot within this year. However, she emphasized that it will not be a star-studded event. Instead, it will be a small, intimate church wedding attended only by close family and friends, with around 100 guests.
Kiray also revealed that she has already invited Marian Rivera as one of her principal sponsors (ninang) and Gary Valenciano as a ninong. Friends from showbiz such as Arci Muñoz, Enchong Dee, and Ai-Ai delas Alas are also expected to attend.
While the online world buzzes about her success, what touched many was how Kiray stayed true to her values. The comedienne shyly admitted that she preferred not to kiss her fiancé in front of her parents during the proposal, leading some to speculate—half in jest—that Kiray might still be “saving herself” for marriage. Stephan is, after all, her first boyfriend, according to her family.
Kiray’s engagement story has drawn admiration not only for its sincerity but also because of the strength of her relationship with her family. During the event, she proudly shared that her business journey was fueled by her desire to provide free wellness products for her senior citizen parents, a testament to her dedication to family.
Through her business ventures, Kiray is also able to create job opportunities for others—a cause close to her heart.
On Instagram, Kiray expressed her deep gratitude, saying: “Gusto kong magpasalamat kay Lord kasi binigay Niya ako sa tamang tao.”
Despite recent heartbreaking news involving the entertainment and music industries, Kiray’s engagement to Stephan has become a bright spot, offering fans a story of patience, faith, and true love.
As wedding preparations slowly begin, fans are eagerly waiting to see Kiray walk down the aisle — not as the mischievous child star they once knew, but as a woman who stayed grounded and found happiness both in life and love.
