Jerald Napoles and Kim Molina are taking the next step in their relationship, as Molina accepted her longtime partner’s marriage proposal.
Napoles and Molina got engaged in an intimate event at the PETA Theater Center in the company of their family and close friends, as seen in photos uploaded by Nice Print Photography on Sunday, August 13.
The photos showed Molina walking into a room decorated with lanterns and sunflowers, before meeting Napoles who asked her hand in marriage. Another photo showed Dimples Romana as one of the couple’s guests, who was seen hugging a tearful Molina.
“Ten years in the making & back to where they both first met @petatheater. Congratulations @iamjnapoles and @kimsmolina,” the post’s caption read.
The photography studio also shared a clip of an emotional Molina saying “yes” to Napoles’ proposal.

Molina also took to her Instagram page to announce their engagement while sharing a photo of themselves performing in the musical “Rak of Aegis” in 2014.
“Back to where we first met, the exact spot where it all started.. it has always been a ‘yes,’ and will forever choose you. I love you, @iamjnapoles,” she said.
Molina and Napoles were congratulated by fellow celebrities in the comments including Jericho Rosales, Criza Taa, Dimples Romana, Janno Gibbs, Valeen Montenegro, Chie Filomeno, and Shaira Diaz.

The couple has been together for 10 years, with Molina revealing in January 2024 that she was the one who courted the comedian.
Napoles and Molina started as “best friends” before they got together. They first met while working on “Rak of Aegis.” They also worked together in the films “Ang Babaeng Walang Pakiramdam, “Ikaw at Ako at ang Ending,” “Girlfriend Na Pwede Na,” and “Seoulmeyt.”
The longtime partners also went against each other in the reality show “LOL: Last One Laughing Philippines,” where Chad Kinis eventually emerged as the winner.
