Alden Richards and family get some downtime in London
In Aubrey Carampel's report in "24 Oras" Thursday, the Asia's Multimedia Star said that he has not gone on vacation after his grandfather passed last year.
"Last December was a very hard season for us because of my grandfather's passing, so we didn't really have that much time to really spend time together and magkaroon ng downtime," he said.
Alden was in the United Kingdom this month for the annual London Barrio Fiesta 2025, which he graced with fellow Sparkle stars Julie Anne San Jose and Rayver Cruz.
While in the U.K., Alden, his father, and siblings made sure to make the most out of their trip, as they visited various tourist sites.
"Happy ako kasi sobrang nag-enjoy, most especially 'yung sumunod sa kin, si Riza, sobrang na-enjoy niya 'yung London, even 'yung youngest namin si Angel," he shared.
Alden has now returned to work after arriving in the Philippines, including taping for "Stars on the Floor," which he hosts.
Per Alden, they are happy thus far with the positive feedback the Kapuso reality dance competition has received.
"We're very happy. Happy kami I mean with the performance of the show, of course mga Pinoy mahilig sumayaw and what more, it's just so very rewarding for us to get such feedback from the viewers."
He is also gearing up for the GMA Gala 2025 on August 2, which is expected to be a big event as GMA Network marked its 75th anniversary this year.
"I've [become a] part of the GMA family during its 60th year, so I'm very proud and happy. For 15 years, I've been a solid Kapuso ever since day one. Diamond anniversary ng network, talagang dapat we have to be present and we have to prepare for it," he said.

NBA star Ja Morant lights up BGC court in first Manila visit
Be it in Memphis or in Manila, Ja Morant made sure to turn every court into his own playground. The Grizzlies guard did just that in his rare Manila visit as part of his 'Make Then Watch' tour, which is aligned in his effort to connect and interact with local basketball stars. The 25-year-old high-flying guard made a huge entrance before obliging to the fans to hit the 'griddy' dance moves. Morant also watched from the sidelines as Team Barangay and Team La Salle went at it in a four-quarter exhibition game. Team La Salle is composed of alumni Jeron Teng, Ricci Rivero, and Marga Jimenez, while Team Barangay are spearheaded by other Pinoy stars Rhenz Abando, CJ Cansino, Jack Animam, and Andrei Ugaddan. Abando and Ugaddan threw a number of slams with the former NCAA Rookie MVP even getting a high-five from the NBA star. But Morant did not leave without making one of his own, completing an alleyoop dunk off a pass from a member of his camp. Hyped by the crowd, Morant then knocked down another two-handed hammer to close out the friendly game. Before dropping by the Philippines, Morant also made stops in other Asian countries China and Japan. —JKC, GMA Integrated News
