Celebrity couple Lovely Abella and Benj Manalo now have a new home thanks to the success of their online selling business, BenLy’s Online Shop.
“Sa mga kapwa ko ONLINE SELLERS, nakakaPROUD kayo.. SOON magkakaroon din kayo ng tulad nito, parang panaginip,” Abella shared on Instagram yesterday, June 10.
(To my fellow online sellers, you make me proud. Soon you will also have this, it is just like a dream.)
“[Salamat] LORD sa regalong di namin inaasahan ng asawa ko (Thank you Lord for the gift that my husband and I did not expect),” Abella added.
Manalo likewise shared the good news via his own Facebook account, posting the same photo and thanking those behind their success.
“Sa mga kapwa online sellers na nag tiwala. Sa mga zuki na nanood, nakitawa, nakiiyak, nakiaway, bumili, nag soli, naging kaibigan, naging pamilya. Maraming salamat. Never namin na imagine nung nag sisimula kami ng mrs ko na magkakaroon kami ng ganito noon [six] years ago,” Manalo said.
(To my fellow online sellers who trusted us. To our zukis who watched us, laughed with us, cried with us, fought with us, bought our products, those who returned them, those who became our friends and family. Thank you very much. My wife and I would never have guessed that we will have this when we started six years ago.)
Fellow celebrities, meanwhile, congratulated the couple on their new milestone. For one, Camille Prats commented on Abella’s post, “Soooo proud of you ga!!!”
“Happy for you [heart emoji] @lovelyabella_,” Angelika Dela Cruz said.

Prior to buying a house, Abella and Manalo were also able to buy a new car also with the help of their earnings from their online selling business.
“[Mangarap] ka lang sabayan mo ng sipag at tiyaga PROMISE makakamit mo,” Abella said then on Instagram when she announced buying the car they named “Mic Mic.”
(Just keep on dreaming and pair it with hard work and patience, promise you will reach your goal.)
Abella and Manalo tied the knot just last January. Although they have been a couple since 2015, the two only planned the wedding in 10 days. /ra
