The actress shared the announcement through a photo released as part of Bench’s “Love Your Body” campaign, where she posed in simple nude-toned undergarments, proudly showcasing her baby bump. The campaign emphasized self-love and body confidence, making it a fitting avenue for her reveal.
Sharing the Journey
On Tuesday, September 2, Lovi posted a video documenting her day-to-day life as a pregnant celebrity. In the video, she highlighted the balance between her personal milestones and her professional commitments. She noted that when she walked the runway for Bench earlier in March, it was not just her own moment—it was also her baby’s “first runway.”

The actress reflected on her busy lifestyle, which included filming, attending the ABS-CBN Ball, participating in Panagbenga Festival celebrations, and working on various campaigns—all while pregnant.
“Still walking the runway, filming a movie, attending the ABS-CBN Ball, shooting a summer campaign, participating in Panagbenga celebrations… and staying active through it all. This journey reminds me that being intentional with my energy matters just as much as chasing my passions,” she shared in her post.
Her words highlighted not only her dedication to her craft but also her evolving perspective as she enters a new chapter of life.
A Love Story Across Borders
Lovi and Monty’s relationship began in 2019, when the couple was first spotted together. That same year, they confirmed their romance publicly on Instagram. Much of their early relationship was long-distance, with Lovi based in the Philippines and Monty living in the United States.
Despite the physical distance and time differences—often spanning 7,000 miles and 16 hours apart—their relationship flourished. In August 2023, they tied the knot in an intimate wedding ceremony held in Berkshire, England.
Interestingly, when Lovi announced their engagement that same month, she revealed that they had been engaged for several years before sharing it with the public.
Celebrating Two Years of Marriage
The couple recently marked their second wedding anniversary, with Lovi posting a heartfelt message that also revealed that they are no longer separated by geography.
“Two years in. No longer 7,000 miles apart. Without a 16-hour time difference. A lifetime of adventures. But really, who’s counting… Happy wedding anniversary to us, My Scientist,” Lovi wrote, addressing Monty with a term of endearment.
This revelation confirmed that the couple is now living together, a shift that aligns perfectly with the new chapter they are about to embrace as parents.
Continuing Her Career
Even as she prepares for motherhood, Lovi remains active in her career. She is set to star in the upcoming meta-docu-fiction film Lakambini: Gregoria de Jesus. The film focuses on the life of Gregoria de Jesus, known as the “Mother of the Philippine Revolution,” blending narrative storytelling with documentary elements.
Her continued presence in both acting and public campaigns showcases her ability to juggle professional growth with personal milestones.
Looking Ahead
The announcement of Lovi Poe’s pregnancy has been met with celebration from fans and colleagues alike. It signifies not only a personal triumph but also the start of an entirely new chapter in her life with Monty Blencowe.
From navigating a long-distance relationship to building a life together and now preparing for parenthood, the couple’s journey reflects resilience, commitment, and joy. As Lovi embraces motherhood while continuing her thriving career, supporters are eager to see how this new role will inspire her both on and off the screen.
