MANILA — French-Filipino athlete Emilienne Vigier marked her 26th birthday with Kapamilya actor Joshua Garcia.

Based on her Instagram post, Garcia joined Vigier with her close friends in an intimate celebration.

"My bestest friend reminded me (all the time actually) lots of times last night that I am loved by many and I know so when I always see the same people show up for me & others from our shmoll circle since 2017," she said in a caption.

"Merci fwends ... for always being present and real (& the rest who I have no photos with ... basta happy kayo ok na ako) ... Masaya buhay ko dahil nan diyan kayo. I appreciate and love y’all so much, I really cried a river of gratitude this morning."  

It was just last November 2023 when Vigier via her Instagram Stories first shared a glimpse of her and Garcia watching Coldplay's concert in Tokyo.

She also posted sweet photos with Garcia on his birthday last October 2023.

Garcia earlier opened up about rumors romantically linking him to Vigier.

"Hindi ko siya dini-deny. It's just that, ako and her decided not to share it to everyone. Kasi 'yung relationship na 'yan ay kami lang naman 'yung parte dun, e," he was quoted as saying.

According to Garcia, the lessons he gained from his past relationships have led him to opt for a more discreet approach when it comes to his romantic life.
