Fans have noticed Bea Alonzo is glowing these days, and the actress credits her radiance to a calm, balanced life and a recent solo trip to Madrid.
“Well, it’s just because I’m happy,” Alonzo said. “Happiness keeps you pretty!”
The award-winning actress described her current state as a combination of life experience and the people around her. “I don’t know if it comes with age or experiences or the people you surround yourself with, I think that’s very important. Personally, right now, it’s a certain type like there’s a newfound that comes with that happiness, so it’s okay!”
Alonzo recently traveled to Spain alone after her birthday on Oct. 17.
“It’s not really a gift for myself, but I traveled to Spain alone,” she said.
Asked why she traveled without her boyfriend, Vincent Co, Alonzo explained, “For one, I like doing it. I like to travel alone. Everyone knows that I’m already a resident there. You feel as if you’re really one of the locals. Another thing is I get to enjoy the weather. So, it’s like my happy place.”
Regarding her next projects after the successful GMA soap Widows’ War, she said, “Right now, I’m more focused on my business and my personal life, of course. But when the right project comes along, even if I’m in a calm state now, I will get out of my shell to do something!”
Alonzo described 2025 as a year of self-discovery.
“There’s also kindness to myself and helping myself find the right pace, which I currently enjoy,” she said.
Asked about changes in her lifestyle now that her love life is at peace, she said, “Well, I can say that I’m still the same. My lifestyle is not dependent on my partner. I live on my own terms. I’m not dependent on other people. To be honest, I don’t want to talk about my love life in my interviews. I can only speak for myself.”
“I worked so hard to obtain the life I have at this point. There are various aspects to consider. There is the monetary side and the mental. So, to find somebody to enter your life, you should complement each other. Lifestyle-wise, it’s still the same. The only difference is that now, things are calmer,” she added.

Meanwhile, in a recent television guesting, singer-actor Mark Bautista said his heart is in a happy place.
“Oh, yes! There’s someone special who makes my heart happy right now,” he said, confirming he is dating.
“It just happened. I felt that here comes someone with whom I am most comfortable and can be myself,” Bautista said.
The performer added that past frustrations and doubts in love have given way to contentment.
“For so long, I felt frustrated and lost faith in love. I felt that it’s me who’s the problem. Was I choosy? Or I didn’t know how to love. Now, everything’s changed, and I’m just so happy,” he said.
