MANILA, Philippines — Former GMA child actress Jolina Marie Reyes, popularly known as Krystal Reyes, is now engaged to her non-showbiz partner Lawrence dela Cruz.
Krystal confirmed her engagement on Instagram by posting photos of Lawrence proposing to her in a private resort in Basco, Batanes.
"I’d like to hang out with you for my whole life," Krystal wrote in the caption, accompanied by a white heart emoji.
Among those who sent congratulatory messages were Barbie Forteza, Carla Abellana, Bea Binene, Joyce Ching and Shaira Diaz , who is also currently engaged to longtime boyfriend EA Guzman.
The young actress, who is the niece of director Mark Reyes, earned her big break on the GMA show "Bakekang" as the younger version of Lovi Poe's character Kristal, from which she earned her stage name.
She went on to appear in several GMA-7 shows like "Princess Charming," "Mga Mata ni Anghelita" and "Anna Karenina," and the movies "Shake, Rattle, and Roll 8," "Tween Academy: Class of 2012," "Si Agimat, si Enteng Kabisote at si Ako" and "Apple of My Eye."
Since the pandemic, Krystal stepped away from acting and pursued freelancing by focusing on content creation and online selling.
