Among the local celebrities who congratulated the couple were Andi Eigenmann, Ruffa Gutierrez, Rufa Mae Quinto, Rachel Peters, Gwen Zamora, Ella Cruz, and Cora Waddell.

The actress' announcement comes weeks after she confirmed her engagement to Anthony in a previous interview, sharing that the proposal happened during their vacation in Australia last August and that they are eyeing a 2021 wedding.

Sam and Anthony have been dating for one year.
