Here's How Your Fave Local Celebrity Couples Rang In The New Year

As 2026 begins, many are choosing to leave behind the noise of the past year and focus on what truly counts: connection, gratitude, and shared milestones. 

Filipino celebrity couples are no different. From cozy countdowns to festive trips, these couples rang in the New Year side by side—proof that starting fresh feels even better when shared with someone special.

Since 2017, Gabbi Garcia and Khalil Ramos have made it a tradition to celebrate the holidays together, entering each New Year with a relationship that continues to grow stronger. For the 2026 countdown, the couple marked the occasion during one of their trips, spending it with close friends Laureen Uy, Miggy Cruz, and Jaz Reyes.

Of course, Gabbi also shared a heartfelt tribute to her relationship with Khalil and the adventures they shared throughout the year. 

"2025, you were beautiful!!!! 🥹 Entering 2026 with the same person from 2017 🫶🏽🥂 Here’s to more adventures together!!!" she wrote.

Rayver Cruz and Julie Anne San Jose made the most of the holidays, spending both Christmas and New Year together with their families. Despite their busy schedules, the couple prioritized being present and celebrating the season together.

Although both had to perform at the "NYE Kapuso Countdown" at the SM Mall of Asia Seaside Boulevard on the night of December 31, Julie Anne and Rayver still made it a point to arrive in time for the final countdown of the year with her family.

Pia Wurtzbach and Jeremy Jauncey welcomed the last moments of 2025 together in Frankfurt, Germany. Despite their packed schedules in their respective careers, the couple managed to carve out time for each other, welcoming the New Year side by side.

"Bring on 2026 @piajauncey. What a year we have planned!" Jeremy teased, hinting at exciting things ahead.

For Maymay Entrata and Joaquin Enriquez, welcoming 2026 was one for the books. It was their first New Year's Eve together after officially hard-launching their relationship in 2025. While the couple didn't reveal the exact location where they rang in the New Year, it was clear that they spent the holidays overseas.

"Here's to the best year yet," Joaquin wrote in an Instagram story featuring Maymay, capturing the quiet but meaningful milestone the couple shared.

Carlos Yulo and Chloe San Jose closed out another meaningful year together, choosing an intimate pajama celebration over a grand media noche. The couple made it special by celebrating each other, their relationship, and the lessons they carried with them from the past year.

"What's meant to arrive this year, will—trust in the universe," Chloe captioned, reflecting a sense of calm optimism as they welcomed the year ahead.

2025 marked the beginning of new and meaningful chapters for Loisa Andalio and Ronnie Alonte. The New Year's Eve celebration carried even more excitement and anticipation, with the newlywed couple also preparing for the arrival of their first child. 

Ronnie shared a heartfelt message to mark the occasion, writing, "Bagong taon! bagong tayo.. happy new year sainyong lahat!" Loisa commented on the post, "see you next year baby!!!!"

The couple chose to celebrate the New Year in the comfort of their home, while wearing matching shirts.

Andi Eigenmann and Philmar Alipayo made sure not to miss the New Year celebration in Siargao, welcoming the occasion alongside their family and Andi’s sister, Stevie Eigenmann. 

Stevie shared glimpses of the celebration on Instagram, showing the family ringing in the New Year at the popular people-watching spot called Catangnan Bridge, a.k.a. the AFAM Bridge to locals. 

Wrapped in thick winter clothes, Anne Curtis and Erwan Heussaff held their daughter, Dahlia, close as they rang in the New Year. The family celebrated together in Hokkaido, Japan. As they were surrounded by snow and winter scenery, the couple turned the chilly weather into a heartwarming (and memorable!) experience.
