Ikakasal sa ikalawang pagkakataon ang bagong kasal na sina Miss Universe Philippines 2020 second runner-up and volleyball star Michele Gumabao at PBA strength and conditioning coach na si Aldo Panlilio.

Ito ang ibinahagi ni Michele sa panayam ng ABS-CBN News na lumabas sa Instagram nitong Huwebes, February 27, 2025.

Ikinasal sina Michele at Aldo sa pamamagitan ng isang Catholic wedding ceremony na ginanap sa National Shrine of the Sacred Heart sa Makati City, noong February 25, 2025.

Dalawang araw makalipas ang kasal, tinanong si Michele kung kumusta ang buhay-may asawa.

Tugon nya: “Feeling ko nga, hindi pa nagsi-sink in sa akin, e, kasi we have one more in a few weeks.”

Ang tinutukoy ni Michele na “one more” ay ang second wedding nila na isa namang Christian ceremony.

Bakit sila magkakaroon pa ng second wedding?

Paliwanag ni Michele: “I’m Christian, so we really intended to have a Christian wedding at first.

“But then, Aldo’s family is Catholic, so they also wanted a Catholic ceremony.

“So, we agreed to have both.”

Ayon pa kay Michele, hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa nagsi-sink in na kasal na sila ni Aldo.

Saad niya: “You know, after so long, we’ve been together for eight years, I think reaching this new, it’s not the finish line, but actually the starting line of something new for us.

“So I’m excited and looking forward to a new life that we can start together and a family that we can build also together in a few years.”

Umaasa rin si Michele na makabuo sila ni Aldo ng pamilya gaya ng pamilyang nagpalaki sa kanila.

Sabi nito: “And hopefully, with the support of everyone din, around us, our families, sana rin talaga we can build a family, like, how, paano kami pinalaki ng mga magulang namin and how family is important to us.

“Pero, medyo matagal pa yun dahil focus muna kami sa career namin pareho.”
