Veteran actress Gladys Reyes and husband of 14 years Christopher Roxas held the grand opening of their restaurant, Estela, last July 31 in the presence of many loved ones. Estela, located in Brickroad, Sta. Lucia, Cainta, is a casual and airy restaurant where families and friends can drop by to bond, chill and devour the most comforting of food.
Reyes took to her Instagram last July 31 to share pictures of the grand opening to her hundreds of thousands of fans. Among those present in the ribbon-cutting ceremony were Ilocos Norte Gov. Imee Marcos, friends Judy Ann Santos and Angelu De Leon-Rivera, and Donita Rose. Singer-comedian Mikey Bustos, Jason Abalos and girlfriend Vickie Rushton were also present.
“Thank you dear God for the successful Grand Opening of Estela @estelaresto!” Reyes wrote as she extended her gratitude to all her guests. “Eat and bond in Estela located along Brickroad across Sta. Lucia Cainta Rizal, opens fr. Tuesdays-Sundays 5pm-1am!!”

In a post last Aug. 1, Reyes shared pictures she took with Santos. The two have been best friends for 25 years, first meeting on the set of the TV drama series “Mara Clara” in 1992.
“25 years of friendship! From then til now…our love, respect and support for each other remain consistent. For that..I will always be grateful, sis @officialjuday!”

Apart from Santos, Reyes also paid homage to De Leon-Rivera, who she also first met back in the ’90s.
“Heto pa isang consistent na kaibigan na palaging nariyan sa mga mahalagang okasyon ng buhay ko,” wrote Reyes on the same day.
“Sis @angeludeleonrivera. Dalawa sila sa mga bida na inaapi ko nung 90’s at nakakatuwa na naging mabuting kaibigan mula nun hanggang ngayon.”

Reyes, too, extended her “heartfelt thanks” to Marcos last Aug. 6, who went out of her way to drop by Estela.
“Our heartfelt thanks again to Gov. Imee Marcos for visiting us in Estela!!” gushed Reyes.
