In her youth, GMA Network contract artist LJ Reyes had the chance to pass by Rizal towns and cities, Antipolo, Baras, Teresa, Pililia, and Tanay going to Infanta, Quezon where most of her kin are based.
While she might have been born in Quezon City, Lourna Jane Pujeda Reyes is a woman of the multiverse.
LJ really wanted to be an actress so she joined the GMA Network reality talent search “StarSturck” which gave her the chance to be in show business and her dream started to be realized. It was Infantan talent scout Manny Ballester who was responsible for LJ to be included in the GMA Network star quest.
From being a teenybopper. LJ graduated as an award-winning actress, particularly in the film “Anino sa Likod ng Buwan (Shadow Behind the Moon)” directed by the equally award-winning filmmaker Jun Robles Lana. In the film, LJ portrayed a demanding role which earned her the Best Actress plum at the 39th Gawad Urian of the prestigious Manunuri ng Pelikulang Pilipino (MPP) and at the 13th Pacific Meridian International Film Festival in Vladivostok, Russia.
Vis-à-vis her illustrious acting career is an ambivalent love life when she fell in love, first, with Paulo Avelino when he was still with GMA Network. It produced a lovechild, Aki. Still, at the Kapuso backyard, LJ was enamored with Paolo Contis who gave her a beautiful daughter, Summer.
When her romance with Paolo went awry, she went abroad with Aki and Summer.
Right in the heart of the US, LJ met engineer Philip Evangelista who eventually offered her marriage she couldn’t resist. Although Philip has his own past love, his feelings for LJ are the greatest.
After the engagement in May, Reyes and Evangelista tied the knot at the Bevin House in New York. The garden wedding was a testament to the love Philip showered and has been showering on her every day since the matrimony.
