Filipino basketball standout Kai Sotto and actress Rere Madrid officially became husband and wife in an intimate garden wedding in Alfonso, Cavite.
The couple chose a private setting away from the spotlight, surrounded only by family and close friends, before later sharing the milestone with the public through their respective social media accounts on Wednesday evening.
“Still feels unreal that we finally get to call this day our,” Madrid wrote on her social media post.
Sotto, currently a free agent, has just completed his second season in Japan’s B.League with Koshigaya, posting solid averages of 13.5 points, 9.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.0 block over 28 games. His consistent performances abroad further solidify his standing as one of the Philippines’ top young big men on the international scene.
At 24 years old, Sotto remains a key figure for Gilas Pilipinas, with his size and skill set often serving as a matchup problem for opposing teams in international competitions.
His development in Japan has been closely followed by fans eager to see him take the next step in his professional career, whether in Asia or potentially beyond.

The wedding date also carried a personal touch, coming exactly two years after the couple began their relationship on May 18, 2024—a symbolic celebration of how far they’ve come together in such a short span of time.
The intimate ceremony was attended by close loved ones, including Madrid’s brother, actor Ruru Madrid, and his girlfriend Bianca Umali.

Messages of congratulations quickly poured in from Sotto’s Gilas Pilipinas teammates and fellow athletes, reflecting the wide support for the young couple as they step into married life.
For Sotto, the milestone marks a personal chapter off the court that arrives amid a career still in motion. As he continues to explore opportunities as a free agent, the added stability in his personal life comes at a time when his professional journey remains open-ended and full of possibilities.
Now balancing marriage and a developing international career, Sotto enters a new phase defined not only by basketball ambitions, but also by life beyond the game.
