Kapuso actress Carla Abellana has officially tied the knot with her non-showbiz boyfriend, Dr. Reginald Santos, in an intimate wedding ceremony held on Saturday, December 27.
The happy news was first confirmed by GMA News, which shared its congratulations to the newlyweds. The announcement quickly drew warm reactions and well-wishes from fans and netizens, many expressing their happiness that the actress has found love again.
According to reports, the ceremony was private and attended only by close family members and loved ones. Photos that later surfaced showed Abellana radiant in a classic wedding gown with a lace veil, while Santos looked dapper in a cream-colored tuxedo with a black bow tie.
Rumors about Abellana dating a doctor began circulating in October, which the actress did not deny. In a previous interview, she shared that she was content and happy with where she was in life, citing her close family ties, her pets, and finally moving into her dream home.
It was later confirmed that Santos was once Abellana’s first boyfriend before her showbiz relationships. After going their separate ways, the two eventually reconnected, with the actress confirming their relationship in August.
Abellana was previously married to actor Tom Rodriguez in October 2021. Their marriage ended months later, with their divorce—filed in the United States—recognized by a Philippine court in June 2024.
More than a year after the recognition of their divorce, Abellana has now begun a new chapter in her life. Rodriguez, for his part, has also shared that he is happily married to a non-showbiz partner.
