MANILA, Philippines—Ginebra guard RJ Abarrientos may not be celebrating a title just yet in his PBA career, but he recently scored a big win in his personal life.

While still chasing his first championship in the pros, the PBA rookie has a new reason to celebrate after tying the knot with longtime partner Arlove De Jesus in a civil ceremony recently.

“Best things take time and I got the best one,” wrote Abarrientos in an Instagram post on Monday along with photos with his new bride.

De Jesus, a former UAAP courtside reporter, also took to social media to mark the special moment, with the PBA player: “Beyond my hopes, beyond my dreams.”

Abarrientos proposed to de Jesus in November 2024. The two got married with friends and family,  including PBA legend Johnny Abarrientos, in attendance.

Abarrientos has ample time to celebrate his honeymoon with De Jesus as the Gin Kings still have some weeks until they see action in the PBA Philippine Cup.

The star out of Far Eastern University has played a key role for Ginebra since joining the team last year after his stint in the Korean Basketball League (KBL).
