TV Host KaladKaren and her British boyfriend, Luke Wrightson, are engaged after dating for eight years.
KaladKaren, whose given name is Jervi Li, made the happy announcement this Wednesday with a photo and vlog about how Wrightson popped the question with a dazzling oval diamond ring.
She shared that Wrightson proposed to her while they were enjoying a casual date in their apartment’s balcony during the lockdown.
She said that Wrightson had not intended to propose that night, which was why they were wearing their “pambahay” when it happened.
KaladKaren is known for her impersonations of broadcaster Karen Davila, and for being an advocate for the rights of trans people in the Philippines.
In a previous interview, KaladKaren said that she was extremely thankful to Wrightson’s family for being accepting towards their relationship.
“Never kaming nakaramdam ng discrimination, or ibang pag-turing sa akin kasi number one: I’m a foreigner. Number two: I’m a trans woman,” she said. “Never nila pinaramdam sa amin na iba kaming couple. They’ve been very accepting to us. I loved them very much.”(ABS-CBN)
