Actress Bea Alonzo and Puregold heir Vincent Co step into the spotlight with a quiet romance marked by thoughtful gestures, public sightings, and growing family approval.
MANILA – After months of quiet speculation, subtle sightings, and overlapping travel posts, the relationship between actress Bea Alonzo and businessman Vincent Co is stepping gradually but unmistakably into the public eye.
What began as quiet companionship and private gestures has become a steady partnership—one that neither flaunts nor denies, but whose presence is being felt more clearly at public events, overseas trips, and family gatherings.
HOW THEY MET: FRIENDSHIP TURNED FAMILIARITY ABROAD
Before their Spain sightings in late April 2025 sparked public speculation, Bea Alonzo and Vincent Co were already acquainted. In fact, their connection appears to have begun quietly months earlier, away from the spotlight.
According to PEP.ph, one of the earliest signs of Vincent’s interest came during a trip Bea took to Siargao, sometime in early 2025. When Bea reportedly fell ill during her stay on the island, Vincent arranged a private helicopter to bring her back to Manila—an extraordinary gesture that insiders say reflected both concern and quiet courtship.
By April 2025, both posted photos from Seville and Andalusia, Spain, around the same time. One of Vincent’s posts showed a man and woman walking hand-in-hand on the beach. While faces weren’t shown, online observers matched the woman’s outfit and hairstyle to Bea’s. She also liked the post—fueling speculation they had traveled together.
Their first public sighting together followed shortly after, in early June, at a private celebration attended by close friends from the fashion and business circles, including Heart Evangelista and Senator Chiz Escudero. They appeared relaxed and familiar in photos shared on social media, seated beside each other and engaging comfortably with the group.
WHO IS VINCENT CO?
Ferdinand Vincent Pe Co, 45, is the eldest son of Lucio and Susan Co, founders of Puregold Price Club Inc., one of the Philippines’ largest retail empires. Since 2015, Vincent has served as president of Puregold, overseeing the operations of more than 600 stores nationwide. Educated at the University of Asia and the Pacific, he also holds leadership roles in several Co family ventures, including Cosco Capital Inc. and Entenso Equities.
Despite his business stature, Vincent is known for maintaining a low profile. Those familiar with him describe him as soft-spoken, respectful, and deeply private—a personality that has matched well with Bea’s own evolving preference for a more grounded and quieter life.
COURTING BEA: FROM GESTURES TO COMMITMENT
Long before the public sightings began, Vincent Co had already shown quiet but meaningful interest in Bea Alonzo. His now widely reported gesture—arranging a private helicopter for Bea during a medical episode in Siargao—was not an isolated act, but one of many that signaled his steady presence and support.
Following their Spain trip and their joint appearance at the private June gathering, the pair appeared increasingly comfortable in each other’s company. Sources close to the couple told PEP.ph that what started as a respectful and low-key courtship has since matured into a relationship that is very much ongoing—if still kept largely out of the spotlight.
While neither has issued a formal statement, their actions speak clearly: they are no longer in the “getting to know you” stage. Bea and Vincent have been seen at multiple public events together, including corporate functions and concerts, with Bea now appearing alongside Vincent in both social and family settings.
“They’re already together. They’re just choosing to live quietly, without the fanfare,” one source said.
FROM PRIVATE MOMENTS TO PUBLIC SIGHTINGS
Their transition into the public sphere has been measured but unmistakable:
June 2025 – Bea attended a high-profile Puregold corporate event at the World Trade Center in Manila, where she was seen mingling with Vincent’s family and business associates.
July 5, 2025 – The couple was spotted holding hands at OPM Con in Bulacan—a major public event featuring top Filipino artists. This marked their first undeniable public display of affection, drawing cheers from fans.
Mid-July 2025 – The pair was photographed boarding a flight at NAIA Terminal 1, reportedly headed to Japan to celebrate Vincent’s birthday. The two appeared relaxed and coordinated, sparking more buzz about how comfortable they’ve grown in sharing time—and travel—together.
Most recently, Vincent was seen accompanying Bea at her warehouse event promoting travel essentials, quietly offering support at one of her entrepreneurial appearances.
PAST LOVES AND NEW BEGINNINGS
Bea Alonzo, now 37, has long been in the public eye—not only for her critically acclaimed acting career, but also for her highly followed personal life. She previously dated Gerald Anderson, Zanjoe Marudo, and most recently, Dominic Roque, to whom she was briefly engaged. Their split was confirmed in February 2024.
In interviews after the breakup, Bea acknowledged being open to love but more discerning. “I know what I want now,”she said. “Peace. Kindness. And someone who lets me grow.”
Vincent, by contrast, has no known public romantic history prior to Bea. His appearance in her world marks the first time he’s been linked to a celebrity relationship.
FAMILY MATTERS
Though not officially confirmed, multiple reports indicate that Vincent’s family is aware and quietly supportive of the relationship. The Co family—known for keeping to themselves—has not issued any comment, but Bea was seen interacting with them at corporate functions, including a Puregold event at Okada Manila.
One source close to the Co circle described the family’s view as “warm and respectful,” adding, “There’s appreciation for Bea’s values and grace.”
WHAT’S NEXT FOR BEAVI?
While neither Bea nor Vincent has gone public with a formal announcement, their consistent presence together is confirmation enough for many observers. Social media fans have dubbed them “BeVi,” and with red carpet season and holiday events on the horizon, many are watching for their first official debut as a couple.
For now, however, Bea and Vincent appear content where they are: sharing quiet moments, traveling side by side, and showing up for each other without the noise of celebrity declarations.
“Love doesn’t always announce itself,” said one friend close to the couple. “Sometimes it just shows up, quietly—and stays.”
