What was supposed to be a joyous and intimate gender reveal celebration quickly turned into one of the most talked-about events in showbiz. Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino, lovingly dubbed “KimPau” by their fans, stunned everyone not only by revealing the gender of their first baby—but by dropping another shocking revelation that left guests (and social media) in absolute disbelief.

The gender reveal party was held in a private garden setting, attended by close friends, family, and a few trusted members of the entertainment press. The mood was festive, with pastel-colored decorations, themed desserts, and a lot of laughter echoing in the air. Kim was glowing in a white flowing dress, while Paulo looked dapper in a powder-blue suit. Everything seemed picture-perfect.

When it was finally time to pop the balloon for the big reveal, the sky was suddenly filled with a burst of pink confetti—it’s a girl! Cheers, applause, and even a few tears filled the garden as the couple hugged each other tightly. Kim was seen wiping away tears of joy, while Paulo whispered something in her ear that made her smile through her happy sobs.

But just when everyone thought the event had peaked in emotion, Paulo took the mic and said, “We have one more thing to share with all of you today.”

A moment of silence followed. Then, Kim stepped forward, holding Paulo’s hand. Her voice trembled slightly, but her smile was warm and confident.

“Today isn’t just about our baby girl. It’s also about us,” she said.

Then Paulo added, “We’re getting married.”

Gasps, cheers, and even more tears erupted from the crowd. Some fans who were watching the live stream on social media couldn’t believe their ears. Was this real? Did KimPau just announce their engagement?

Indeed, the couple revealed that they got engaged quietly a few weeks ago during a trip to Japan. They shared a few never-before-seen photos from that special moment—Paulo down on one knee under cherry blossoms, and Kim looking completely shocked and emotional as she said “yes.”

The reaction online was immediate and explosive. Fans flooded X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and Facebook with hashtags like #KimPauEngaged and #BabyGirlAndBigNews trending within minutes. Thousands of congratulatory messages poured in, with fans expressing their joy at finally seeing the couple they’ve rooted for so long take such a huge step forward.

What made the announcement even more special was the fact that Kim and Paulo have been very private about their relationship. While their on-screen chemistry has long been undeniable, their off-screen romance has only been hinted at through subtle gestures and rare photos. That’s why this double reveal—baby and engagement—felt all the more intimate and meaningful.

Entertainment personalities who were present at the event also shared their reactions. Close friend Angelica Panganiban posted, “I knew it! You guys are full of surprises. Congratulations, loves!” while director Lauren Dyogi wrote, “Witnessing your happiness in person was the best gift today. So happy for both of you!”

As the night ended, the couple thanked everyone for the overwhelming love and support. “We’ve always kept things quiet because we wanted to protect what’s most important to us,” Kim said. “But today felt like the right moment to celebrate everything with you.”

It was more than just a gender reveal—it was a celebration of life, love, and new beginnings. And for fans of KimPau, it’s a moment they’ll never forget.
