The couple were also seen enjoying their travels to Japan and France earlier this year.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cole2cHrLmu/"></a></p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-7" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cole2cHrLmu/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=675&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A7%2C%22os%22%3A2664202.7999999523%2C%22ls%22%3A675261.0999999046%2C%22le%22%3A675619.7000000477%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-7" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/1/29/look-heart-evangelista-and-chiz-escudero-dazzle-in-paris-dinner-1848"></a><span class="s1"><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/1/29/look-heart-evangelista-and-chiz-escudero-dazzle-in-paris-dinner-1848"><strong><u>READ: Heart Evangelista and Chiz Escudero dazzle in Paris dinner</u></strong></a></span></div><p>With Heart celebrating her 37th birthday on Valentine’s day, Chiz decided to surprise her with a uniquely personalized gift last February 13. In her post, Heart shared how she felt about the work of art specially made for her by multi-awarded visual artist and sculptor Ferdinand Cacnio.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p><p>Hert wrote, “17 years ago I filmed my telenovela ‘<em>Hiram na Mukha</em>’ they took a molding of my face at that time. I was 21 years old… through the years I always wondered where the molding was. I briefly mentioned it to my husband 3 years ago and lo and behold… he was able to locate the original cast <span class="s3">🤍</span> and had it commissioned by one of my favorite artists <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ferdiecacnio/"><span class="s2">@ferdiecacnio</span></a> <span class="s3">🤍</span> amazing :) the happiest birthday indeed thank you <a href="https://www.instagram.com/escuderochiz/"><span class="s2">@escuderochiz</span></a>”<span class="s1"></span></p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/1/1/heart-evangelista-welcomes-2023-with-chiz-escudero-1154"></a><span class="s1"><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/1/1/heart-evangelista-welcomes-2023-with-chiz-escudero-1154"><strong><u>READ: Heart Evangelista welcomes 2023 with Chiz Escudero</u></strong></a></span></div><p>Last September, Heart first revealed going through some personal struggles in one of her vlogs. She shared, ”I’m not going to deny, I’ve been going through some personal struggles like I feel a lot of pressure in my life, and basically now, I’m really in a search of just being happy. It’s about the simplest things in life that are very important and that really makes a person happy — that’s where I’m at now. I feel like at the end of the day, it’s really your inner strength and you being independent about what you want to do in life and not rely on anyone that matters.&quot;<span class="s1"></span></p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2022/12/27/heart-evangelista-pens-message-for-chiz-escudero-1057"></a><span class="s1"><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2022/12/27/heart-evangelista-pens-message-for-chiz-escudero-1057"><strong><u>READ: ‘See you soon’: Heart Evangelista pens message for Chiz Escudero</u></strong></a></span></div><p>Chiz and Heart first started dating in 2012 after being introduced by a common friend, the late senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago. The couple got engaged in 2014 at the Escudero ancestral home in Sorsogon. They dated for three years before tying the knot in 2015 on Balesin island.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
