After being engaged for over two and a half years, Yam Concepcion and partner Miguel Cuunjieng are now officially married.

As reported on ABS-CBN, the news was confirmed by reporter Mj Felipe, who shared a photo from the ceremony and wrote, “The couple exchanged ‘I do’s’ in an intimate civil ceremony attended by family members and close friends.”

The said wedding, which was held in New York where Yam has been spending her time for the past two months, was also attended by radio and TV personality Tim Yap, who shared clips from the ceremony that was held on a boat, with the Statue of Liberty in the background and bearing witness to the union.

The “Init sa Magdamag” actress surprised many in June when she admitted to have been engaged to Miguel since December 2018. He proposed during a trip to Niseko, Japan.

Last week, she admitted to have been busy planning for her wedding, which she said will be held “later this month”.

The couple have been together for six years prior to their marriage.

Yam Concepcion is set to tie the knot with long-time partner Miguel Cuunjieng at the end of July in the United States.

As reported on Push, the “Init Sa Magdamag” actress, who is currently in New York, shared with the media that she is currently preparing for her wedding.

“I don’t have any assistant in planning all these things. It’s not a grand celebration. We just want it very simple and very intimate. I’m all for it,” she said.

Yam, who has been in a long-distance relationship with Miguel for many years, shared that she has been loving her time in New York since she flew there two months ago.

“What I celebrate the most is the time that I spend with Miguel. We’ve been on LDR for six years and we finally get to enjoy time together,” she said.

It is noted that the couple have been engaged since December 2018, a fact that Concepcion only revealed to the public last June.

Yam Concepcion recently announced that she has actually been engaged to long-time boyfriend, Miguel CuUnjieng for a while now.

The “Init sa Magdamag” star shared the good news on social media with photos from her boyfriend’s proposal, which happened in Niseko, Japan on 31 December 2018.

“A thousand crane YES,” she captioned the photos.

Celebrity friends took to the comments to congratulate the actress, including Kaye Abad, JM de Guzman, and Joseph Marco, the latter who wrote, “Congrats Yam! Really happy for you!”

Her fiancé also posted similar photos on his Instagram account, writing, “Now that my better half [Yam Concepcion] has made the call, time for me to join in the long-delayed celebration. I’ll start with just how hard it was to keep this a secret for so long – I’ve wanted few things more than to be able to yell this as loud as I can using every means I have! The Japanese legend of the senbazuru notes that the gods will grant one wish to anyone who folds 1000 paper cranes, but [Yam] is so special to so many, I only felt it was right to make sure those closest to us approved of my wish as well.”

Miguel revealed that he and his family and friends folded over 2000 cranes in preparation for the proposal.

“I asked her twice for good measure. You are my only wish, and if granted two wishes, you are also my second. I’ve loved you more each day since this magical one in Niseko, and I promise to give you my 100% for our forever to go.”

The couple are currently in New York together, with Yam previously sharing that she will be staying in the US for two to three months to spend time with Miguel.

Although she was warned by netizens to be wary of her co-star Gerald Anderson for his alleged womanising ways, Yam Concepcion stated that the actor has been nothing but a gentleman to her.

As reported on Inquirer, the actress, who is partnering with Anderson in their new series, “Init sa Magdamag”, stated that she actually read all the memes about Anderson, seeing how the actor is infamous for his many romances and breakups, and found the whole thing funny.

“I honestly didn’t feel the need to be cautious around Gerald. They just judge him based on what they see on TV – that he’s a womaniser. But if you work with him, you’ll realise that he’s a gentleman and is very professional. I never felt that he had malice when we were doing our love scenes,” she said.

It is noted that Anderson made headlines earlier for his breakup with Bea Alonzo and his subsequent romance with “Between Maybes” co-star Julia Barretto, of whom he was accused of cheating with prior to his breakup.

Concepcion also stated that she and Anderson were able to create chemistry on set even though they were not that comfortable being around each other at first, stating that they succeeded in doing so after communicating with one another for 30 minutes.

“Gerald was able to make me feel true emotions. I felt his honesty, as Tupe, his character,” she added.

In the new series, Concepcion plays Rita, who finds herself in a dilemma after her husband Peterson (JM de Guzman) suggests that they get their doctor Tupe (Anderson) to be their sperm donor without realising that his wife and the doctor were once lovers.
