Paolo Benjamin Guico, frontman of the popular Filipino band Ben&Ben, celebrated a personal milestone as he announced his engagement to longtime girlfriend Maria Rachel on Instagram.

On Thursday, Guico shared the joyful news with his followers, writing, “Tomorrow with you, my dear. Thank you for saying yes,” accompanied by a heart emoji.

The couple recently celebrated their third anniversary in December 2024. At the time, Guico expressed his love and gratitude for Maria Rachel in a heartfelt post:

“Happy third anniversary, dear! This year has brought so much growth within us, and through the toughest of tests, you’ve been my teammate, my inspiration, and my source of strength. Thank you for reaching my deepest layers and loving me for who I am. I wanna face tomorrow with you, as it comes.”

This engagement follows a similar milestone for his twin brother and bandmate, Miguel Benjamin Guico, who married his girlfriend Karelle Bulan in an intimate ceremony in February 2023.

Along with Paolo, the nine-piece folk-pop band has solidified its place as one of the country's biggest hitmakers with chart-topping songs like Pagtingin, Kathang Isip, Araw-Araw, and Sa Susunod na Habang Buhay.
