Kristine Hermosa: “Nagdasal ako ta’s sabi ko, ‘Lord, ano ‘to? Bakit ganito? Hindi naman kami ah. Ba’t siya nagpo-propose?”
Celebrity couple Kristine Hermosa and Oyo Boy Sotto recently revealed that they got engaged in 2009 despite having no label between them.
The couple said in an interview with Toni Gonzaga on YouTube that they weren’t boyfriend and girlfriend when Oyo popped the question to Kristine at a bible study.
Back then, Kristine and Oyo were just friends who always talked to each other about their lives.
Kristine also shared that Oyo would bring her to Sotto family gatherings, but also as a friend. As such, she was taken aback when he popped the question to her.
In fact, she ran and hid for a good 5 to 10 minutes before answering him.
“Natakot ako. Kinabahan talaga ako. Nagdasal ako ta’s sabi ko, ‘Lord, ano ‘to? Bakit ganito? Hindi naman kami ah. Ba’t siya nagpo-propose?” Kristine recalled.
“Seryoso, nanginginig ako no’n. As in ang lamig ng buong kamay ko, paa ko. Sabi ko, ‘Sige, lakasan ng loob, so kinompose ko sarili ko, bumalik ako, sabi ko, ‘Sige, yes,’” Kristine added.

Oyo said that he started thinking about proposing to Kristine when a pastor asked him about his plans with her. Shortly after his talk with a pastor, Oyo had an engagement ring made.
He bought the engagement ring with his last savings, though he admitted still not being ready then. According to him, there were a lot of things he still wanted to do for himself. But one day, Oyo woke up with a voice in his head telling him to do it.
“It hit me,” Oyo said. “Malapit na mag-birthday siya no’n. Parang may bumulong sa’kin, ‘Propose ka na.’”
Looking back, the couple said that getting engaged was one of the best decisions they made because they wouldn’t be where they are now if they hadn’t done it.
Kristine and Oyo got married in 2011 and recently marked their 11th wedding anniversary. According to them, God was their secret to staying together this long.
The couple now have 5 children together: Kristian Daniel, Ondrea, Marvin, Kaleb, and Vittorio Isaac.
