GLAIZA DE CASTRO — The Kapuso actress unveiled that it was a chance encounter with her husband David Rainey in Siargao that sparked their forever romance.
Glaiza revealed in an interview on “Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho” that she and David tied the knot in Northern Ireland last October 2021. They finally said their wedding vows during an intimate ceremony in Northern Ireland.
Glaiza unveiled that it’s a chance encounter in Siargao that sparked their forever romance. According to her, she went to Siargao in 2018 to recharge after working on several projects.
Meanwhile, David was visiting the island on his first trip to the Philippines. David said that Glaiza was “sobrang ganda” and he’s blown away, adding that it just felt right and they have so much in common.
“May pinatugtog siyang song, isa ’yun sa mga favorite songs ko noong high school,” Glaiza said as she recalled one of her first glimpses of him.
After they met in Siargao, David rebooked his Cebu ticket and followed the actress to Manila to ask her on their 1st Valentine’s date. According to David, this was when he formally started courting Glaiza.
David embraced the Filipino culture by eating Filipino food, learning the language, and even driving a tricycle.

At some point, David had to return to Ireland but he made sure to let the actress know of his intentions. Although he seemed to be head over heels for her, Glaiza had her own doubts.
“’Yung parents ko kasi, conservative. May experience sila sa past relationships ng mga tito’t tita ko na hindi maganda pagdating sa mga foreigner,” Glaiza said.
However, David wasn’t discouraged as he went back to the Philippines after 7 months. David said that he was too nervous when he asked the actress if they could be together but, fortunately, Glaiza said yes.
The actress later stayed in Ireland for 3 months and David introduced her to his parents. After Glaiza went back home, she and David continued their long-distance relationship.
In order for them to keep the relationship and romance alive, the couple kept a notebook wherein they wrote their messages to each other.
“Babasahin ko ’yan kapag nakaalis na siya. Kapag nasa Ireland ako, ako naman ’yung susulat dun sa notebook na ’yun, babasahin niya ’yun kapag nakaalis na ko,” Glaiza said.
Glaiza toured David around her hometown in Baler, Aurora in 2020. When the couple found themselves stuck in the province because of the lockdowns, David seized the moment to propose to the actress.
However, the following months weren’t easy for them because they’re apart again. Because David had difficulties getting a visa to the Philippines at that time, Glaiza flew to Ireland instead.
