On January 30, 2016, television icon Vic Sotto and actress-host Pauleen Luna exchanged vows.
Held at St. James the Great Parish Church in Ayala Alabang, Muntinlupa City, the wedding formalized a relationship that began quietly and grew steadily despite scrutiny, skepticism, and the glare of the spotlight.
From Co-Hosts to Companions
Vic and Pauleen first crossed paths on the set of a noontime show where they worked together for years before romance entered the picture. While rumors surfaced as early as 2011, the couple only confirmed their relationship publicly in December 2013.
Their pairing drew attention largely because of their significant age gap, prompting debates and criticisms from the public. The two then kept their relationship private and flourishing despite the challenges and struggles.
Before proposing, the couple took deliberate steps to ensure harmony within his family. In 2015, it was then reported that two got engaged.
A Wedding to Remember
Their January 30, 2016 wedding was both intimate and celebratory, attended by family, close friends, and colleagues from the entertainment industry. During the reception, Vic made headlines with a lighthearted but heartfelt remark, joking that Pauleen now ranked “number two” in his life - second only to God - as per Philstar Life.
For Pauleen, the day symbolized not just marriage, but the triumph of patience, faith, and love that endured public doubt.
Growing Their Family
The couple welcomed their first daughter, Talitha “Tali” Maria, on November 6, 2017, a moment that Vic described as one of the happiest chapters of his life. Years later, their family grew once more with the birth of their second daughter, Thia “Mochi” Marceline, on January 23, 2024.
Motherhood and fatherhood further deepened their bond, with Pauleen often sharing reflections on gratitude, intentional parenting, and cherishing every season of family life online.
Today, the love story of Vic Sotto and Pauleen Luna blossom even more as they renewed their vows along with the special people in their lives.
