BILLIONAIRE BLESSING! Puregold Tycoon Lucio Co Fully Supports Son Vincent’s Plan to Marry Bea Alonzo—Wedding Bells Soon?

In a story that has taken both the business and showbiz world by surprise, Puregold owner and billionaire tycoon Lucio Co is reportedly giving his full support to his son, Vincent Co, in what could be one of the most unexpected but most talked-about love stories in recent Philippine history: a romance with none other than award-winning actress and A-list celebrity, Bea Alonzo.

With whispers of a possible wedding already making rounds online, this union—should it happen—could become one of the most high-profile and influential marriages in the country, merging the powerful worlds of retail business and entertainment.

Private but not secret: A timeline of Bea Alonzo and Vincent Co's budding  romance


From Private Meetings to Public Fascination

The speculation about a romance between Vincent Co, the eldest son of billionaire businessman Lucio Co, and Bea Alonzo, the acclaimed actress known for her classic roles in “One More Chance” and “Four Sisters and a Wedding,” first began circulating a few months ago. Netizens started connecting the dots after the two were spotted attending the same events, traveling abroad at overlapping times, and most tellingly—appearing in each other’s close circles.

Neither party confirmed nor denied the relationship—until now.


Lucio Co’s Surprising Statement

In a rare and brief media appearance at a business conference in Makati, Lucio Co was asked about his son Vincent’s rumored relationship with the actress. Without hesitation, the billionaire responded:

“Bea is a fine woman. If she is the one my son chooses, then I will support that completely.”

Though it was a short statement, the message was clear—and powerful.

The usually reserved business magnate is not known to comment on matters outside his business empire, making this public endorsement all the more significant. It was also the first time that the Co family has addressed the rumored relationship in any public forum.


Who Is Vincent Co?

While the Co family is well-known due to their retail empire, not much is publicly known about Vincent Co, the heir to the Puregold fortune. He currently holds a high-ranking executive role in Cosco Capital Inc., the investment holding company behind Puregold and other major assets in retail, liquor distribution, and real estate.

Vincent, now in his early 30s, is known to be low-profile, well-educated, and business-savvy. He’s considered by many in the business community as a potential future leader in the Philippine corporate world.

Insiders describe him as “sharp, disciplined, and respectful”—a businessman who knows when to stay quiet and when to take action. His quiet charisma and grounded nature reportedly caught the attention of Bea, who has previously spoken about wanting a “stable, mature partner.”


Bea Alonzo: A Woman in Control of Her Own Narrative

Bea Alonzo has been in the public eye for nearly two decades. After a high-profile breakup with actor Dominic Roque earlier this year, she has focused on brand endorsements, acting projects, and building her real estate portfolio. Her fans have praised her for staying strong, classy, and confident through the highs and lows of love.

Recently, during a TV interview, Bea was asked if she was dating again. With a smile, she answered:

“I’m very happy where I am right now. I feel respected, valued, and loved—not just as an actress, but as a woman.”

Though she didn’t name names, fans were quick to point out the subtle reference to someone new in her life—now believed to be Vincent Co.

The Internet Reacts

As news of Lucio Co’s support broke, Filipino social media exploded with reactions. The pairing of a beloved actress with one of the richest heirs in the country immediately drew comparisons to “fairy tale” romances.

Trending hashtags included #BeaAndVincent, #PuregoldPrincess, and #BillionaireBlessing.

Here are some reactions from netizens:

“Bea Alonzo is about to become the REAL queen of retail. Let’s go, queen!”
“From showbiz to shopping empires. This is the power couple we didn’t know we needed.”
“Lucio Co saying YES? That’s the modern-day blessing from the king himself.”

Fans were also quick to point out that Bea has always carried herself with grace and class—qualities that may have endeared her to Vincent’s traditional and conservative family.


Celebrity and Industry Reactions

Fellow celebrities like Anne Curtis, Heart Evangelista, and Vice Ganda have reportedly reached out to Bea in private, expressing support and excitement for her possible next chapter.

A source from GMA Network, where Bea is under contract, shared:

“We’re happy for her. She deserves real love, and if this is it—then we celebrate with her.”

Business analysts also chimed in, noting that should Bea and Vincent get married, it could lead to unique partnerships between the entertainment industry and the retail giant Puregold.

“It’s not just a relationship—it could lead to media collaborations, new brand campaigns, and crossover branding strategies,” one marketing executive said.


Are Wedding Bells Next?

While neither Bea nor Vincent has officially confirmed wedding plans, sources close to the Co family say that discussions about a formal engagement have already started. One insider revealed that Vincent has already introduced Bea to extended family members, and she was warmly received.

“They’re taking things step by step, but there’s a strong possibility of a proposal before the end of the year.”

As always, Bea continues to play things low-key, refusing to let the media frenzy affect her personal pace.

A Modern Love Story

In a time where celebrity relationships often crumble under the pressure of public scrutiny, Bea and Vincent’s story is proving that love can bloom quietly, away from the chaos—and still be strong.

It’s a story of two individuals from very different worlds—one from the glitz of showbiz, the other from the structured world of business—meeting in the middle with mutual respect, privacy, and shared values.


Final Thoughts

With the public endorsement of Lucio Co, the powerful retail kingpin, the path now seems clear for Bea Alonzo and Vincent Co to move forward with their relationship—whether privately or publicly. Fans, media, and even industry leaders are watching closely as this elegant, unexpected romance continues to unfold.

Whether or not wedding bells are truly ringing soon, one thing is certain: this is more than just a celebrity fling—it’s a love story with the power to redefine both business and showbiz love affairs.

And if the Puregold heir is ready to say “I do” to one of the Philippines’ most beloved stars… who are we to disagree?
