The Couples Who Shone Bright Together at GMA Gala 2025

Amid the lights, the beauty beats, and the fashion breakdowns we can’t stop talking about, the GMA Gala 2025 had one more headline: the couples. Together, these pairs brought a different kind of energy to the blue carpet—the kind that makes you momentarily forget the who’s-wearing-who and focus on the look between the looks. Here are the lovers who made the carpet twice as exciting to watch.

Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes

Do these two even age, or are they simply above it? It felt less like an entrance and more like a coronation when the Kapuso Primetime Royalties stepped in. Marian wore a black lace Zuhair Murad, while Dingdong matched the energy in an emerald Stefano Ricci.

Heart Evangelista and Chiz Escudero

Here we have the two who’re perennially on our couples-to-watch list. Heart arrived in a painterly Schiaparelli that sparked more than just conversations. Chiz kept it simple in a classic tux, a perfect foil to all the attitude.

Jennylyn Mercado and Dennis Trillo

They may be known right now for their reel-life antics, but the two traded skit for style on the carpet. Jennylyn Mercado looked luminous in a Dior dress, while Dennis Trillo played the dependable leading man in a crisp tux.

Rere Madrid and Kai Sotto

Was it hot in there, or was it just them? Rere Madrid came in siren mode in a red Chynna Mamawal lace, while Kai Sotto kept pace in a supple brown leather that added a slow, simmering heat.

Gabbi Garcia and Khalil Ramos

It’s one thing to look good, and another to look good together. The two have mastered the art for years and years. They looked like they wandered off a Hollywood set—Gabbi Garcia as a sweet starlet in red, and Khalil Ramos as the charming lead in a classic suit.

Ashley Ortega and Mavy Legaspi

It’s like golden hour came early when the two Pinoy Big Brother stars stepped in. Maybe it was Ashley Ortega in her statuesque Vee Tan piece, or Mavy Legaspi’s quiet charm. Either way, the frequencies were dialed all the way up.

Caitlyn Stave and Rafael Jaworski

When they walked in, the room suddenly felt younger, cooler, and infinitely more fun. But are we surprised? Caitlyn Stave rocked a hot number with her signature cowboy boots, and Rafael Jaworski played it cool and classic beside her.

Bianca Umali and Ruru Madrid

These two had our whole timeline talking—before, during, and long, long after the last GMA Gala flash. And for good reason. Bianca Umali wore a standout capiz-meets-piña set, and beside her was her lover Ruru Madrid in a silk blush suit. A couple in sync, and clearly in style.

Ysabel Ortega and Miguel Tanfelix

There truly was no shortage of youthfulness and style at the gala, and Ysabel Ortega and Miguel Tanfelix added to the score. Ysabel was a muse in blush pink drapes that echoed the charm of her smile, while Miguel kept it classy in a Yves Saint Laurent ensembleEnsembleA complete, coordinated outfit in which each garment and accessory is chosen to work together as one look.
