It’s been years since Angel Locsin decided to take a well-deserved break from the spotlight, and many continue to be curious about how the beloved actress has been doing. Recently, her husband, film producer Neil Arce, offered a small update that gave everyone a glimpse into their private life together.

During the 20th anniversary celebration of talent management company Cornerstone, Neil sat down for a quick chat with showbiz reporter MJ Marfori. When asked how things have been with Angel, Neil smiled and admitted that they’ve chosen to keep their lives “very private.”
“I try to balance it,” he said, laughing. “Pag-uwi ko, nandun naman siya eh. That’s our time together.”
While Angel has mostly stepped away from public events, Neil shared that she still goes out on special occasions—like her brother’s wedding, which they attended recently. At home, she’s been enjoying her downtime watching the latest season of Pinoy Big Brother, especially since Neil’s son Joaquin is part of the show’s celebrity collab edition.

Aside from being a supportive wife and stepmom, Angel has also been spending time on hobbies that make her happy. Neil revealed earlier this year that she’s been gaming and even taking online classes.
When asked if she plans to return to showbiz anytime soon, Neil said he doesn’t ask. “She’s a strong, independent woman,” he said. “Of course, I miss seeing her on screen, but as her husband, what matters most is that she’s happy.”
Angel’s last teleserye was The General’s Daughter in 2019, followed by hosting Iba Yan and a cameo in Four Sisters Before the Wedding. After stepping away from social media in 2022, she’s kept a quiet profile, appearing only briefly online earlier this year after her account was compromised.
Angel and Neil first confirmed their relationship in 2018 and tied the knot in a simple civil ceremony in 2021. Since then, they’ve stayed out of the public eye, focusing on their relationship and life beyond fame.
And while Neil didn’t reveal any big plans for a comeback or public appearance, he did share that “you’ll see us again one way or another—we’re just enjoying life right now.”
For now, Angel Locsin appears content living a peaceful, grounded life outside the public eye.
