From a friendly “hi” in a chat box to five years of shared milestones, long-distance love, and unwavering support—Carlos Yulo and Chloe San Jose are now celebrating their anniversary with future wedding hashtags joining the conversation.
It all began with a simple “hi” in a chat box. What followed was not just small talk, but the start of something lasting—five years of long-distance calls, quiet victories, handwritten letters, and a love that continues to grow no matter the distance.
Double Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo and long-time partner Chloe San Jose have reached a new milestone in their journey together: half a decade as a couple.
And while their story is made up of many sweet and quiet moments, it’s one that has inspired thousands, especially in a world where LDRs are anything but easy.
Yulo, known for his intensity and discipline on the mat, showed a softer side earlier this year when he penned a heartfelt letter for Chloe on Valentine’s Day—a rare public gesture from the usually private athlete.
“Happy Valentine Day, mahal ko! Salamat sa pasensya, suporta, tiwala, at pagmamahal na pinaparamdam at binibigay mo. Nawa’y gabayan tayo ng Panginoon sa anumang pagsubok at ginhawa na ating tatahakin sa buhay.”
“Mas mamahalin, iingatan, at papahalagahan kita araw-araw. Mahal na mahal kita mahal ko! Ang tamis ng labi mo.”

“We just celebrated our 5th year as a couple. Can you help us with our wedding hashtag we can use in the future?”
As expected, the internet quickly chimed in with a mix of clever, sweet, and downright funny ideas.
Some, clearly still riding the wave of Ray Parks Jr. and Zeinab Harake’s viral wedding, suggested:
Others got creative with punny pairings of their names:
And then there were the comedic gems:
Whether a wedding happens sooner or later, Carlos and Chloe’s story is already proof that real love can start small, grow strong, and carry through time and trials—with a little humor and a lot of heart.
