Comedian "Ate Glow," born Rene Boy Facunla, recently tied the knot with his long-time British beau last Saturday, July 2 at the Chelsea Registry Office in London.
Best known for his impersonation of former president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (GMA), Ate Glow said he met his boyfriend through Facebook and he has Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to thank for.
"I met him in London last year when I visited my best friend. Nakita niya ako sa Facebook ng friend ko kaya nako, thank you kay Mark Zuckerberg at nang dahil sa Facebook, nagkaroon ako ng love life," he said.
In an interview, Facunla said that her British partner knew about her gender identity.
"He had an idea kasi 'yong common friend namin is also a transsexual pero tinignan niya raw kasi 'yong mga pictures ko," she said.
In 2014, he went through surgery to look more feminine in preparation for the wedding. Facunla and his partner met in 2013 when the comedian was taking vacation in London.
Aside from impersonating GMA, Ate Glow also appeared in TV shows and movies, including "Moron 5 and the Crying Lady" in 2012.
