After 35 years, Joey de Leon finally marries wife

MANILA, Philippines — After 35 years of being together, veteran TV host Joey de Leon and Eileen Macapagal finally tied the knot in a civil ceremony recently held at the Supreme Court. 

 

"Mr. and Mrs. De Leon," Joey shared in an Instagram post on March 20. 

 

 

The newly married long-time couple only invited close friends and family members for their life's milestone. 

 

Joey's "Eat Bulaga" co-hosts and long-time friends Tito Sotto, Allan K, and Pauleen Luna-Sotto posted on their Instagram pages their congratulatory messages for the newly weds. 

 

"That's it! Natuloy din!"  said Senator Sotto in a selfie with his wife Helen Gamboa, with the newly weds on the background. 

 

 

The senator and his wife also posted a video of Helen dancing with Joey's other "Eat Bulaga" co-host Ruby Rodriguez, presumably at the wedding reception.

Pauleen, Vic Sotto's wife, said on a post that the marriage is "A testament of His love and mercy."

 

"Today, we say together that God listens to those who believe," Pauleen added. “Pasasalamat ko ay pang habang panahon, ang hiling ko nalang ay sana’y maglaon, pagsasama natin kaloob ng Panginoon. Maraming salamat Eileen De Leon. God listens to those who believe! Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. de Leon!!!!"
