LJ Reyes surprised fans with an announcement of her engagement to her non-showbiz boyfriend Philip Evangelista, whom she introduced to the public for the first time.
The actress showed moments from when her New York-based beau popped the question at what appears to be a beach, through her Instagram page on Tuesday, May 30.
Reyes captioned the photos with the Bible verse: “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ says the Lord. ‘They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.'”
