In a rare moment, John Lloyd Cruz wrapped up 2023 by giving a glimpse of his private moments with non-showbiz girlfriend Isabel Santos.
These photos were taken from his series of Instagram Stories posted on January 1, 2024.
At least two photos showed John Lloyd displaying his affection for Isabel, with him hugging her as they flashed big smiles on their faces, as seen in this article’s main photos.
They appeared content just hanging out when they’re at home. Even Isabel’s beloved pet dog is so relaxed while lying on John Lloyd’s lap.
John Lloyd and Isabel also enjoyed goofing around with Elias, the actor’s son with ex-girlfriend Ellen Adarna.
They also brought Elias with them when they traveled abroad.
Here’s another photo of the couple taking a mirror selfie in the bathroom:
But perhaps the sweetest of all the IG Stories was the one where John Lloyd took a snapshot of photos of his loved ones that he taped on a wall.
The first one was of his parents, the second was of him and his son Elias, and the third and fourth photos were of him and Isabel.
As it happens, John Lloyd has kept his love life away from the spotlight even though he would occasionaly post photos with Isabel on his official Instagram.
It was only in October 2023, after two years of keeping mum about his relationship status, when the 40-year-old actor confirmed in a TV interview that he and Isabel are in a relationship.
As early as November 2021, PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) reported about John Lloyd being seen with Isabel.
While he kept it under wraps at the time, it appeared that his colleagues knew about it as he brought her at a Christmas party with his talent management in December 2021.
Isabel also came to visit him on the set of his sitcom Happy ToGetHer to surprise him with a birthday cake in June 2022.
