Before the first month of 2021 comes to an end, TNT star Roger Pogoy made sure to welcome the New Year with good news as he embarks on a new chapter of his life.
On a cool, lovely Monday night, Pogoy proposed to long-time girlfriend Love Lynn Portes.
On Instagram, Pogoy shared a photo of them all smiles, matching the lovely vibe with the clear view of the city lights in an undisclosed restaurant in hometown Cebu.
Portes showed off her engagement ring after Pogoy’s surprise proposal during a family dinner.
According to Portes’ sister Instagram story, the couple has been dating for nine years and 10 months now.
“Thank you Lord! She said YES!” wrote Pogoy, accompanied with three heart emojis.
PBA stars Kevin Alas, Gabe Norwood, Robert Bolick, Mark Caguioa, Bobby Ray Parks Jr. among others extended their congratulations to the newly-engaged couple.
