Social media erupted with congratulations after photos of what appeared to be the wedding of actress Kiray Celis and her longtime boyfriend Stephan Estopia circulated online — but it turns out the viral “beach wedding” was not the real thing.
On Instagram, Kiray shared a series of stunning photos taken at Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Bagac, Bataan.
The actress wore an off-shoulder bridal gown, while Stephan was dressed in a brown suit and trousers. Her caption, “#TEPANallyfoundhisdesTINGny,” a playful wordplay on “destiny” using their names, fueled widespread speculation that the couple had officially tied the knot.

Celebrities such as Rufa Mae Quinto, Diana Menezes, and G3 San Pedro quickly sent their congratulations, while several major publications also reported that the pair had already married — prompting fans to believe the celebrations had truly taken place.
However, according to LionhearTV’s own sources, the romantic photos were not from an actual wedding.
The dreamy ceremony captured in the photos was part of a music video shoot that will be released this December — just in time for Kiray and Stephan’s real wedding, which is set to happen within the same month.
Kiray previously confirmed in a November 9 report that her actual wedding will take place in December, with no less than Sharon Cuneta as one of their principal sponsors.
For now, the couple’s true wedding is still ahead — and the viral photos were simply a cinematic preview that had fans (and even celebrities) convinced they had already said “I do.”
