Kristel Fulgar celebrated her 30th birthday in Korea with her boyfriend Ha Su-hyuk and her friends.
"Feeling so loved and grateful! 🥰✨ A well spent birthday 🎂 Thanks to all your kind greetings 🫶🏻❤️," she posted, as she shared the snapshots from her birthday celebration.
In another post, Kristel wrote: "Season 30, Episode 1 🎂❤️."
Fans online were quick to extend their birthday greetings for Kristel.
"Happy birthday and God bless you Kristel❤️✨🍾💐🎂🙏🏻 stay in love😍," one fan commented.
"Happy Birthday sis. ❤️❤️❤️ God has blessed your heart and the people around you. May you continue to be a light and inspiration to many of us," another fan said.
Back in November, Kristel revealed via a YouTube vlog that Su-hyuk was already her boyfriend. The two became a couple after Su-hyuk was baptized to be a member of Kristel's church, Iglesia ni Cristo (INC).
"Words can't fully capture the happiness I'm feeling in this moment. I've never known a love like this before, it fills me with peace," the actress remarked.
She went on: "For the first time, I truly feel whole, as though I've finally found the missing piece of my heart."
The content creator shared that it took nearly a year for Kristel to agree to a relationship with Su-hyuk.
Kristel recalled that last January, on Su-hyuk's birthday, he asked her to be his girlfriend, but she declined. She explained: "Despite the growing affection I feel for him, I find myself unable to commit because of our differences in religious beliefs. It hurt both of us but despite the rejection, he remained respectful and patient, waiting for the right time to come."
After Su-hyuk’s baptism into INC, he asked Kristel again, and this time, she said yes.
"The first man I ever said 'I love you' to is none other than my first boyfriend," Kristel highlighted.
