Leila Alcasid, Ogie’s eldest child with his ex-wife Michelle Van Eimeren, is now engaged to her longtime boyfriend, indie singer and rapper Curtismith. Ogie openly shared his feelings about this new chapter in his daughter’s life, describing a mix of excitement and emotion. “I’m very excited, but I’m also feeling emotional because she’s my baby,” he admitted. “But seeing her so happy with Curtismith, who is such a wonderful and respectful guy, makes me feel truly blessed.”
Family Reactions and Support
Michelle, Leila’s mother, is equally thrilled about the engagement. Both parents admire how Leila has grown into a responsible, intelligent, and loving woman. Ogie even joked, giving credit to Michelle for raising their daughter so well.
Although Ogie wasn’t present for the actual proposal, he knew in advance and gave his blessing. He acknowledged that, despite his initial concerns about Leila’s earlier living arrangements, he sensed this day would eventually come.
Embracing His Role as Father of the Bride
At 27, Leila may be an adult, but Ogie admits he’ll always see her as his “little girl.” He’s thrilled to step into the role of the father of the bride and is already looking forward to the idea of becoming a “lolo” (grandfather) one day.
Balancing Family and Career
In addition to his family life, Ogie is busy with his career. He recently renewed his contract with ABS-CBN, ensuring his presence on shows like “It’s Showtime” and “ASAP.” He’s also preparing for his upcoming concert, “Ogieoke 2: Reimagined,” set for November 30.
Ogie’s journey as a proud father and dedicated artist continues to inspire his fans. As he navigates new chapters in his life, he expresses gratitude for the love, support, and blessings surrounding him.
