Nadine Samonte celebrated 37 with a wonderful milestone! The actress was on cloud nine as she walked down a fashion runway in Milan, Italy. Not only that, but she was also chosen as the closing model for a Filipino designer's show.
Nadine expressed her happiness in an Instagram post last March 1, 2025. She wrote, "The secret is out. Tomorrow I'll be walking here sa Milan for a Filipino Designer and I'll be the finale—can you imagine???"
She continued, "Grabe as in grabe nakakaiyak sa sobrang gandang opportunity and not only that. March 9, I'll be in Paris to walk again and finale again. OH MY Goshhhhh!!!"
The actress remarked how her Milan stint is definitely the "best birthday gift" for her this year. Nadine noted that she may not be the luckiest in other aspects of her life, but she sure feels lucky that she was given the opportunity to walk down the runway. The cherry on top is that her family is going all-out with their support for her.
"Thank you love @rboy_chua sa pagsama sa akin and pag-support sa journey ko na 'to," she says, revealing that her husband Richard Chua accompanied her to Milan.

Aside from the event happening on the same day as Nadine's birthday, it also occurred on the same week with Milan Fashion Week, which ran from February 25 until March 3, 2025.
Her fashion runway debut is just one of Nadine's projects this year and we're sure there's more to come. She was last seen acting in the GMA teleserye, The Missing Husband together with Rocco Nacino, Sophie Albert, Yasmien Kurdi, and more.
Congrats, Nadine!
