“Excited siya to have a baby. Siya po ang may plano (He’s excited to have a baby. He’s the one with the plan),” shared comedienne Kiray Celis as she talked about married life and family plans with her husband, Stephan Estopia.

Kiray said it is Stephan who is more eager to have children. When asked how many kids they want, she immediately answered, “Seven!”

During an intimate interview on February 1, 2026, held on the sidelines of the thanksgiving celebration for the first anniversary of Kiray’s Brands, Kiray revealed that her husband even monitors her cycle through a mobile application.

“Updated siya. Binabantayan niya. Daig niya pa ’ko (He’s updated. He keeps an eye on it. He’s even more hands-on than me),” she said.

She added that the topic of having kids had already been coming up even before they got married. “Talagang noon pa man, kinukulit na niya ’ko bago ikasal (Even back then, he was already bugging me about it before we got married).”

Wedding night realities

The couple got married in a traditional church wedding on Saturday, December 13, 2025, at the Shrine of St. Therese in Pasay City.

Kiray later shared how exhaustion took over after a long day of celebrations. “Sa first day [after ng kasal namin]… tulog talaga (On the first day after our wedding… we were really just asleep).”

She also gave a lighthearted shoutout to newlyweds who still manage intimacy on their wedding night.

“Shoutout po sa lahat ng mga mag-asawa na ’kinakasal na gagawa po ng making love sa unang gabi, sobrang idol ko po kayo (Shoutout to all the couples who manage to make love on their wedding night—I really idol you).”

By the second day, Kiray said they finally had time to slow down. “Ayun, nagbilang naman ng pera (Afterwards, we ended up counting the money).”

On wedding guests and misconceptions

Kiray addressed negative comments suggesting that their wedding was treated as a business opportunity. “Hindi siya yung ‘ginawa ko daw business yung kasal ko’ (It’s not like I turned my wedding into a business).”

She stressed that what mattered most was the presence of their guests.

“It’s not about the money po. It’s about the presence nila na pumunta sila doon (It’s not about the money. It’s about their presence—that they came).”

Kiray said their wedding was attended by people who truly mattered to them. “Hindi kung sino-sino ang mga pumunta sa kasal namin (It wasn’t just anyone who came to our wedding).”

She added that some guests even had to cancel other commitments just to attend. “Yung mga tao na ’yon, parang kinailangan pang mag-cancel ng ilang lakad sa isang araw para lang makapunta.”

Balancing married life and business

Despite being busy before, during, and after the wedding, Kiray said work never stopped. Product launches continued. Press conferences were scheduled. Television appearances and guestings followed one after another.

Their thanksgiving celebration gathered affiliates, depot partners, core team members, and collaborators who contributed to the brand’s steady growth and expanding product lineup.

One of the highlights of the celebration was the recognition of all Kiray’s Brands products by Superbrands Philippines.

The program was led by Kiray as the CEO of Kiray’s Brands, together with her husband and COO. As a gesture of appreciation, the couple personally prepared luggage sets filled with the company’s current offerings and upcoming products, which were given to guests.

From a separate interview and press release, Kiray shared that several new products are lined up for the year. These include additional wellness and beauty drinks, along with new skincare and body care innovations aimed at strengthening Kiray’s Brands’ market presence.

The milestone was celebrated alongside trusted partners Purple Hearts Production, the brand’s official marketing arm, and Kryzl Manufacturing Corp., its food and cosmetics manufacturing partner. Both companies were acknowledged for their role in staging the Thanksgiving celebration and in ensuring that brands under Kiray’s Brands—Hello Bloom, Hot Babe, Day-li Supplements, and Skin Vibe—are FDA-registered and Halal-certified.
