Actress/TV host/celebrity vlogger Alex Gonzaga surprised her fans as she revealed in her YouTube channel on January 17, a day after her 33rd birthday, that she is now officially Mrs. Morada.
Alex and her now-husband, Lipa City councilor Mikee Morada, had a simple and intimate wedding held at the former's family home in Taytay, Rizal. It was witnessed by the couple's immediate families, including the TV and online personality's elder sister, Toni Gonzaga.
According to her vlog, Alex and Mikee's marriage signifies paying respect to their parents before they move to the next chapter of their lives and live under one roof.
"Kahit nasa tamang edad na kami, kung ano 'yung request ng magulang ko, ginalang ni Mikee and nirerespeto namin na kung sakali man na gusto namin magsama, maikasal kami," explained Alex.
Since Alex and Mikee officially sealed the deal, it seems we will be seeing the public servant more often in the vlogger's YouTube channel.
