Ogie Alcasid flew to Australia along with his wife Regine Velasquez and their son Nate, and reunited with ex-wife Michelle van Eimeren and their daughters Leila and Sarah.

Their whole family, including Van Eimeren’s husband Mark Morrow, bonded over a meal, as seen on Ogie’s Instagram page on Wednesday, June 12.

“Finally our family is back together!” Ogie exclaimed in the caption. “We celebrate Mark’s birthday, Sarah’s graduation, Leila’s graduation soon, Nate’s graduation and Shelley’s graduation.”

Sarah earlier graduated from the university and earned a nursing degree, while van Eimeren finished her degree in fine arts. Nate, meanwhile, graduated from grade school last April. Further details on Leila’s studies, on the other hand, were not immediately known.

“God is just so good! Hallelujah!” Ogie declared.

In Ogie’s succeeding posts, they were also seen enjoying a meal in a seafood restaurant by the beach and attending a candlelight concert.

Van Eimeren, who represented Australia at the 1994 Miss Universe held in Manila, got married to Ogie in 1996. Their marriage was annulled in 2007.

Ogie and Velasquez then tied the knot in 2010 and welcomed their son Nate a year later.

Alcasid, Velasquez and Van Eimeren maintained close ties as a blended family, with the “Magandang Buhay” host crediting Van Eimeren for the harmonious relationship between them.
