Bea Alonzo has become a familiar and beloved face in Philippine cinema since her rise to fame in the early 2000s. Born Phylbert Angelie Ranollo Fagestrom in Cainta, Rizal, on October 17, 1987, Bea’s journey from a young actress to an award-winning star is a story marked by both immense talent and thoughtful choices.
Filipinos first got to know Bea through her memorable pairings with John Lloyd Cruz, particularly in films like “One More Chance” – a movie that, over the years, turned into a classic for a whole generation. Whether she’s playing a hopeful romantic or a woman in the throes of heartbreak, Bea stands out for her ability to channel deep emotion without resorting to clichés or theatrics. There’s always an undercurrent of honesty in her performances – vulnerability mixed with strength – that draws people in and keeps them invested.
Behind the Spotlight
Yet off-screen, Bea is just as interesting – if not more so. She’s made a point of drawing boundaries between her public image and her private self, showing fans just enough to keep them engaged while still holding back parts of her life for herself. Scroll through her social media and you’ll see glimpses: her advocacy projects, updates on her farm in Zambales, candid moments with friends and family. She shares what matters but steers clear of oversharing – a skill that seems to come naturally these days.
When it comes to love, she’s often found herself at the center of public scrutiny – a fact she handles with proportional grace and groundedness. Her relationships have always generated buzz, but more often than not, she’s managed to keep things dignified, even when faced with relentless speculation or controversy.
Currently, Bea is in a relationship with Dominic Roque. The two made things Instagram-official in 2021, ending months of rumors. Dominic has some acting chops of his own, but unlike most of Bea’s previous partners, he largely stays out of the tabloid spotlight, something that seems to suit her. Their relationship has the comfortable, supportive vibe of a friendship that’s blossomed into something deeper – they complement each other in ways that aren’t flashy but feel solid and real.
Bea’s previous relationships also speak to her maturity and openness to growth. Her five-year relationship with Zanjoe Marudo (2011–2016) was notably low-key by showbiz standards. They parted ways amicably, both citing the need to focus on personal and professional growth.
Her next high-profile romance, with Gerald Anderson (2016–2019), was more turbulent, particularly in the way it ended. The media circus that followed could have easily overwhelmed anyone, but Bea weathered it with impressive composure, focusing on her work and well-being.
John Lloyd Cruz, her ever-iconic onscreen partner, is tied to Bea by countless rumors – though any real-life romance between them remains unconfirmed despite their undeniable chemistry. Their partnership, both real and imagined, has fueled endless speculation and even more memorable stories on screen.
Evolution Through Love
Over the years, Bea’s approach to relationships has shifted. As a younger star, she was more guarded and perhaps a little wary of the spotlight. Today, she seems to have found steadier footing – more comfortable with herself, more willing to share a glimpse of her private joys and struggles, but never at the expense of her personal boundaries.
After a difficult breakup in 2019, Bea offered a rare and candid reflection: “Sometimes love teaches you more through its absence than its presence.” It’s the kind of insight that lingers; you sense that every chapter in her life has made her more introspective, perhaps a little wiser.
Despite all the speculation – engagement rumors, questions about marriage, YouTube vlogs dissecting her every Instagram post – Bea has stayed true to her own pace. She’s talked openly about wanting a family someday, but she isn’t rushing. For now, growth – personal and professional – is where her heart seems to lie.
What’s most refreshing about Bea is her refusal to be defined by who she’s dating. Her sense of self draws just as much from her craft, her deep ties with family, and her ventures outside of showbiz. In an industry where boundaries often blur, she’s found a way to keep her center.

For those who wonder about the future of her love life, Bea once explained what really draws her in: “I’m drawn to people who are kind when no one’s watching. That reveals more about someone than anything they could ever say.” It’s an answer that feels both quietly romantic and unmistakably true to who she is – an actress and a woman who’s crafted her own story, one thoughtful choice at a time.
