IN PHOTOS: Celebrity engagements in 2020
The showbiz industry is filled with love this 2020 as several showbiz couples announced their big engagement news this year.
The year 2020 is a year packed with unforeseen twists and turns even in the personal relationships of celebrity couples. The year began with a few dreamy engagement announcements from showbiz couples.
On the other hand, due to the unexpected turn of events because of the COVID-19 pandemic and its imposed restrictions, others were forced to push back plans. Wedding ceremonies and surprise proposals were likewise postponed to a later date.
In contrast, some decided to show that their relationship is stronger than any pandemic. So instead of continuing with a grand surprise proposal, they just opted for a heartfelt and momentous affirmation of love in the safety of their homes.
There were also some who chose to wait until the restrictions were eased. This allowed them to continue with their plans albeit with only a few people to witness the event.
Despite spending the year filled with unexpected delays, setbacks, and worries because of the virus, celebrity couples, celebrities with non-showbiz partners or longtime partners, were able to declare that they are ready to start a new chapter in their lives.
