Nadine Samonte is capping off her Paris Fashion Week experience with a grateful heart.
On Instagram, the Kapuso actress shared a clip of her final runway moment for Filipino fashion designer Norman Malagueño Acuba.
“My finale walk here in Paris. Never have I imagined not even in my wildest dream that I’ll be given a chance to do runway. Wow just wow,” Nadine wrote.
“Thank You Lord for this very unforgettable experience that I will forever cherish and hoping for more in the near future."
Recalling her experience, Nadine said she “felt like a princess,” adding that she felt appreciated and important.
“Paglabas ko nagpalakpakan sila and I even don't know them but they cheered for me kahit ibang lahi sila. Nakakaiyak po at ang saya saya ng puso ko. Salamat po sa lahat ng mga taong nasa likod ko para matupad ito,” she shared.
The “Forever Young” actress also thanked her husband Rboy Chua for supporting her in achieving one of her dreams.
“Mahal kita and to my kids na naiintindihan nila na isa to sa pangarap ko,” Nadine said.
She likewise thanked her glam team and Norman for the opportunity.
"Thank you [Norman] for making those beautiful gowns para mag shine [talaga] ako. Napakagaling mo. You really made sure na magiging special ang appearance ko lalo na you trusted me to be the finale and I'll be forever grateful sa 'yo," she wrote.
Before walking the runway for Norman in Paris Fashion Week, she also slayed the runway in Milan Fashion Week for the same designer.
As it coincided with her 37th birthday, the Kapuso actress said walking the fashion shows was the "best birthday gift ever."
Nadine has been married to Rboy Chua since 2013. They have three children: Heather, Titus, and Harmony.
Nadine last starred in the 2024 GMA Afternoon Prime series "Forever Young."
Congrats, Nadine!
