LJ Reyes, a former Kapuso star, described 2023 as a year marked by the fulfillment of God’s promises in her life. In an Instagram post, she shared a reel of compiled moments with her family, reflecting on the significant experiences and blessings of the past year. Reyes expressed her gratitude for God’s work in her life and acknowledged that life’s journey, though not always easy or perfect, is a beautiful gift that is best enjoyed with God.
She shared her spiritual journey, stating that God had promised to bring her to His promised land, which she considers a spiritual destination. Reyes emphasized that this journey is ongoing as God continues to write her story. In her post, she also highlighted how God creates beauty from the challenges of life, turning difficult experiences into powerful testimonies of love and redemption.
Reyes referenced Bible verses from Isaiah 43:19 ESV, which speaks about God doing new things in our lives, and John 15:7 ESV, which encourages living in accordance with God’s word.
In October, Reyes married Filipino businessman Philip Evangelista in East Hampton, New York. They got engaged in May, less than two years after Reyes relocated to New York following her breakup with actor Paolo Contis. Reyes celebrated her first Christmas with Philip and their children last year, which she described as a blessing.
