Celebrity couple John Prats and Isabel Oli cross a new threshold as they take the first step toward their dream home.

They announced their family's new milestone via a joint Instagram post on May 31, 2024.

At the groundbreaking ceremony of their new property, the couple and their three kids — Feather, 8, Freedom, 5, and Forest, 3 — wore their helmets as they struck a pose with their shovels.

John penned in the caption: "Building our dream home with the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is a journey of faith and love.

"With His divine guidance, we are creating a sanctuary filled with joy, hope, and endless blessings.

"May every brick be laid in His name and every room echo with His love, as we build a place where His presence is always felt. [house emoji]"

PRATS CONSTRUCTION

It turns out that the entire construction journey of their dream home is going to be a family affair, with John's parents being at the helm of it.

The 40-year-old concert director added in this post: "P.S. Wifey! Eto na ang pangarap natin!! I love you and the kids soooo much!

"Mom @almaqprats And Dad @dondieprats super thank you in advance and praying maging smooth and exciting and journey na to:)

"To God Be the Glory [folded pray hands emoji] #wearethepratties"

He tagged DS Prats Construction, which is the full-service construction company of DS Prats Group of Companies.

His parents, Dondie Prats and Alma Quiambao Prats, also joined the family of five in one of the photos published online.

John and Isabel got married on May 16, 2015, through a wedding ceremony with a four seasons-inspired motif.

They had a "winter" church wedding at the Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage Parish Church in Batangas.

It was followed by a summer-themed lunch.

Come sunset on a spring time, John and Isabel had a Christian wedding rite in Nayomi Sanctuary Resort in Batangas.

The second wedding had an autumn-themed reception dinner.

John bought Isabel's gown in California, U.S.A., in 2014, a few months before their wedding, as his gift to his bride.

Nearly a year after the grand celebration, they celebrated the arrival of their first child, Lily Feather Prats on April 18, 2016.

Two years later, on November 25, 2018, they welcomed their second child, Daniel Freedom Prats.

Then, on July 17, 2020, they joyfully embraced their youngest, Lilla Forest Prats.

On their first wedding anniversary, they wrote the sweetest letter to one another.

"Bilis ng panahon, hindi natin namalayan. Napakasuwerte ko na asawa kita," John's message began.

"Grabe ka mag-alaga and ramdam ko ang support mo sa 'kin. Alam ko na lagi ka andiyan sa hirap at ginhawa."

The last part of the post was a sweet note not just for his wife but for their then newborn baby Feather as well:

"Gagawin ko ang lahat para mabigay sa inyo ang Lahat ng kailangan niyo... mahal na mahal ko kayo ni @featherprats. #WeAreTheDynamites"

Meanwhile, Isabel took the time to reminisce their first time meeting each other.

"That sheepish smile plastered on your face when you showed up in one of my tapings and handed my favorite cup of coffee, that awkward momentary pauses during our first phone convo, the giddy feeling on our first date, it all feels like yesterday.

"Cliche but yes, time flies so fast. It only shows that I enjoy every moment spent with you.

"Daily I feel grateful to the Lord for the love He has shown me through you.

"We've been through a lot together. But both high and lows, I know God is orchestrating things to smoothen our rough edges so that we will be the kind of better halves He designed us to be."

She continued: "Today we celebrate our first milestone as a married couple.

"My endless thank you's for your love, for your hardwork and for being so selfless.

"I've said it before and I'll say it again, you've truly been a blessing and will always be. Praying and looking forward to more years of blessed togetherness with you Hubb."
