Japan B.LEAGUE standout Kai Sotto celebrated his first anniversary with actress Rere Madrid.
Love remains a steady anchor for Kai Sotto — especially during tough times.
The 22-year-old basketball star recently marked his first anniversary with girlfriend Rere Madrid, sharing a heartfelt tribute on Instagram to celebrate the milestone.
“Can’t believe it’s been a year already,” Sotto wrote.
“So many challenges we faced and I’m proud of both of us… I’m so grateful for your love. You make everything brighter just by being you,” he added on Instagram.
The message comes as Sotto continues to recover from an ACL injury he suffered in January, a setback that cut his B.LEAGUE season short with the Koshigaya Alphas.
Through it all, Rere has remained one of his greatest sources of strength — a quiet but constant presence throughout his recovery journey.
“Thinking of you keeps me awake, dreaming of you keeps me asleep, being with you keeps me alive,” he added. “Happy 1st anniversary to my dream girl… loved you yesterday, love you still, always have, always will.”
