There’s a new chapter in the love story of Iwa Moto and Pampi Lacson after the actress announced that they are officially engaged.
On Instagram, Iwa shared a sweet reel from their recent trip to Japan. In the video, the couple is seen walking toward the camera before simultaneously raising their hands — revealing the sparkling engagement ring on Iwa’s finger.
In her caption, Iwa expressed her excitement about their next chapter together.
“Mahal, you are my always and forever. Thank you for making me happy. I can’t wait to be your wife, mahal.”
She added: “We have been together for almost 14 years and God knows we have been through a lot but in His grace ito tayo, nagmamahalan.”
“I can’t wait to marry my best friend.”
The announcement quickly drew congratulatory messages from fans and fellow celebrities.
Among those who sent warm wishes was Pampi’s former wife, Jodi Sta. Maria.
“Life has a beautiful way of unfolding. Congratulations on your engagement Madam and Pampi!”
She continued: “Rejoicing with you both! This milestone is truly significant for the whole family!”
Jodi even joked about preparing for the wedding: “Handa na po ang susuotin ko!”
Iwa replied, revealing that Jodi was among the first to know about the proposal.
“[Jodi] grabe ka mag predict amor. Love you. As promised ikaw ang isa sa mga naunang nakaalam hahaha. See you pag uwi namin.”
Jodi and Pampi married in 2005 and separated in 2011. Their marriage was officially annulled in 2024. They share one son, Thirdy.
Meanwhile, Iwa and Pampi have been together for over a decade and have two children, Hiromi and Caleb.
Over the years, Jodi and Iwa have shown that peaceful co-parenting and genuine friendship are possible. The two actresses have openly shared blended family moments on social media, frequently supporting one another in posts and even collaborating on a fun TikTok video in 2020.
With love, respect, and maturity at the forefront, their story continues to resonate with many who believe that families — no matter how unconventional — can thrive in harmony.
