Belle Mariano offered fans a peek into her family’s new home, marking an exciting milestone in her personal journey.
On her Instagram page, the actress posted: "It’s been a hectic month moving into our new place, but we’re finally settling in 🏡 feeling so grateful for this new chapter 🤍."
In the post, Belle shared snapshots of various parts of the house, showing the living room and stylish interior décor such as chandeliers and vases.
Friends and fans were quick to flood the comments section of Belle's post with congratulatory messages.
"Sooooo nice!!!! Congrats Belle! ❤️" Anne Curtis commented.
"Ang ganda! Congrats Belle 👏😍" one fan commented.
Back in August 2024, the actress gave an update on the progress of her dream home, which was already nearing completion that time. She has been documenting the journey since construction began in 2023.
Belle previously opened up about how surreal it felt to build her dream house at such a young age, having started construction when she was just 21.
"Still pinching myself! Dreams really do come true… I share this humbling moment with all of you who walked with me on this journey," she previously said.
Belle is set to star in a new Star Cinema movie titled Meet, Greet and Bye.
The actress will headline the movie alongside Maricel Soriano, Piolo Pascual, Juan Karlos and Joshua Garcia.
"I've never worked with any of them, and it's such a breath of fresh air for me. Merong kaba, of course, but I'm excited for this project. I've read the script and 'yun nga, it will take you home," Belle said in a previous interview with ABS-CBN News.
The movie will be directed by Cathy Garcia-Sampana. The renowned filmmaker had previously played a significant role behind the scenes in some of Belle's earlier projects with her on-screen partner, Donny Pangilinan.
"Si Belle kasi closer to me kasi RISE artist. I did several workshops, but meron kaming mga mentoring, doon ko siya unang nakilala. And when ‘He’s into Her’ was being developed, nagme-mentor din ako kay Chad (Vidanes), I was part of the conceptualization. Kaya hindi makakaila ni Belinda na ako ay nasa likuran niya noon pa," Cathy relayed.
The director expressed her excitement about this new opportunity, believing it will allow Belle to tap into new depths as an actress.
"Sabi niya, never pa niyang nakatrabaho 'yung ibang makakatrabaho niya dito, so it excites me paano kaya 'yung dynamics sa set. Tapos kasi ito baby kasi ito, laging naka-ano kay Direk, ano bang gagawin. Siyempre ngayon na mas batikan na 'yung mga katrabaho niya, tignan natin kung lalapit-lapit pa siya, doon na siya sa mga batikan na lalapit at hihingi ng tips mga ganyan," the director remarked.
Belle echoed this sentiment, noting that she is eager to embrace growth and step out of her comfort zone in this upcoming project. "I feel like, in everything I do naman as much as I can I try to enlighten myself with things I don’t know yet. And I try to learn more, this is gonna be an unusual set-up."
She went on: "It’s my first time na I'm doing a film na with Direk. For a while I've been working with Donny for so long and this is the first time na gagawa ako ng film on my own and I would say it's growth. Something scary but I'm really excited for it."
