It's looking like wedding season for one of showbiz's most-talked-about couples. The names of actress Bea Alonzo and businessman Ferdinand Vincent Co appeared in the marriage banns read during Sunday Mass at St. Peter the Apostle Parish in Manila — a strong sign that the two are headed for the altar very soon.

The banns listed Co as the groom and Alonzo under her legal name, Phylbert Angelli Escalante Ranollo, as the bride. In Catholic tradition, marriage banns are publicly announced for three consecutive Sundays before the wedding, giving anyone the chance to raise objections. The reading was even caught on the church's livestream, quickly spreading on social media.

Bea confirmed her relationship with Vincent back in August 2025 after months of speculation. The couple had been spotted together at the same destinations in Spain, and they made their big public debut at the Puregold OPM Con 2025 at the Philippine Arena. Since then, kilig fans have been waiting for exactly this moment.

For those who don't know, Vincent Co, 45, is the president of Puregold Price Club — one of the biggest supermarket chains in the Philippines. He's the son of retail tycoons Lucio and Susan Co, whose empire spans S&R Shopping, Cosco Capital, liquor distribution, and commercial real estate. Meanwhile, Bea, 38, is gearing up for her TV comeback with the upcoming series "Whispers From Heaven."

No official wedding date or venue has been announced yet, and the couple seems to prefer keeping things private. But with marriage banns already being read, it's only a matter of weeks. Congratulations in advance to the future Mr. and Mrs. Co! 💍
