She noted that although it was just the two of them at the wedding, they look forward to celebrating the union with their loved ones sometime in the future. Her post also stated, "While we still plan to celebrate our wedding with our loved ones, for now, we are overjoyed to be married. We are two people seeking the Lord to grow individually and as a couple, and to guide Anika and our future children."

Heart sweetly said, "So happy for you Ganda."
Michelle Madrigal on her second marriage
ICYDK, Michelle left showbiz in 2016. She flew to the USA to pursue her dreams of becoming a chef. From then she was able to explore lots of possibilities for her career and has also begun her motherhood journey.
She is now a mother to her daughter, Anika, and also a wellness-coach-slash-fitness-trainer and realtor. It was only last month, June 2024, when she announced her "very private" relationship with Kevin. She described it as the "best decision" she's ever made. And by "very private" she meant not posting anything about her beau on her social media accounts!
In an Instagram story before, Michelle wrote: "I've kept my dating life very private since my last relationship, and choosing to stay quiet this time has been the best decision." Her Instagram story also became her marriage announcement.
"Damn if you do, damn if you don't. No matter what you do, people will always have something to say. So, live your life and follow the path that God has given you," she expressed.
Michelle Madrigal's love life through the years
It was in 2019 when Michelle first got married to Troy Woolfolk, Anika's father. However, the marriage fell apart in 2021 due to misunderstandings and what Michelle would call "toxic" parts.
Almost a year after they called it quits, Michelle and Troy's divorce was finalized in the U.S. In an interview with PEP.ph, Michelle opened up that her relationship with Troy reached the point that it was clearly unhealthy for their family to stay together—even noting that she felt emotionally abused.
"There were moments na I felt emotionally abused na. I just knew that it wasn't gonna work out anymore. I didn't want my daughter to grow up in a toxic home. A lot of people say, 'You should stay for the kids.' Yes, I see that. Pero both partners should be willing to work on their relationship and as individuals kasi dalawang entity kayo."
Months after their divorce was finalized, Michelle introduced her new boyfriend Kyle, whom she met on a dating app. "We met through Hinge so it's a dating app. Obviously, hindi ako masyadong lumalabas being a single mom and nag-swipe siya at ako rin, and then we started chatting," she narrated in a YouTube vlog uploaded in December 2022.
But things didn't work out. Michelle announced her singlehood through an Instagram post in July 2023 that read, "I’m 34. Divorced. Single. Mom of 1. Healing & Happy."
Now, Michelle is married, and forever hopeful of a lasting love with her new partner. Congratulations, Michelle and Kevin!
