Jennylyn Mercado and Dennis Trillo held a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the first day of construction of their new family home.

The couple, in their casual clothes, led the event in an undisclosed location, as seen on their respective Instagram pages on Friday, July 5.

“Family HO-me soon!” they captioned the post alongside the hashtags “groundbreaking” and “new home.”

Aside from their new home, Mercado and Trillo have a “mountain hideaway” in Rizal, a container house which the couple described as their “dream project.” Its construction started in 2021 and was finished in 2023.

The couple also owns a home in Las Vegas Valley, Southern Nevada, in the United States. Last February, Mercado revealed that they bought the property because their family plans to move abroad once she and Trillo decide to retire from show business.

“Doon kasi walang pakialamanan ‘yung mga tao, ‘di ba, kahit saan ka pumunta normal. Sarap din ng feeling na kahit ano pwede mong gawin kahit tumambling ka sa kalsada, ‘yung mga gano’n. Pwede mong gawin lahat ng gusto mo nang walang makakapansin sa ‘yo, walang magpo-post sa ‘yo sa social media, mas may freedom,” she said.
