There, Jon is seen down on bended knees asking Yassi's hand in marriage  in front of friends and loved ones.

"Me and Yas have been together for over five years now. We met in Toronto. Yeah, it was love at first sight, to be honest," Jon shared in the video.

According to him, they tried maintaining the long-distance relationship for a year, before he decided to finally move to the Philippines to be with Yassi.

"This is our life," Jon told Yassi in the video.

There was a poster containing the following text: "July 27, 2017. Our universes collided and nothing was ever the same."

Jon said: "We met for the first time and you changed my life."

He later stressed: "As long as I can remember babe, I've been leaving messages for you on mirrors. I think it's my way of saying that I see you from day 1, it's always been you... You made it so easy for me to love every version of you."

Jon related that Yassi's love for him is like a "life hack" or "cheat code."

"It gives me superhuman strength. And it gives me energy and drive, and motivation, and belief that you can, I can do anything..." he maintained.

"Our love is such a powerful feeling that I don't take for granted and I'm thankful for every day. I want this forever."

Jon then asked: "Yassi, make me the happiest, luckiest, smartest man in this universe... Yass, will you marry me? Please don't leave me hanging!"

Yassi, who was already crying, nodded before saying yes.

The two celebrated the milestone with hugs and kisses.

In the latter part of the clip, Yassi admitted she was surprised with Jon's proposal.

"Never ko nakuha mga clues. I didn't know anything," was how she put it.

The actress-dancer said she's "overwhelmed with the effort."

"'Why me? I'm worthy enough for?'" she recalled asking herself at that moment.

"If you guys get to know this guy, talaga, so loving, so caring, so detailed. Always there. Wala akong marereklamo talaga. So I'm very lucky."

Of course, that was then.

The two have since announced their split on social media.

"We wish each other the best and will always appreciate what we had. Our relationship was beautiful and we are both coming out better people because of it," he stressed.

Jon then asked their followers: "Let us deal with this in private as we move forward from this."

Meanwhile, in an interview on "24 Oras," Yassi denied rumors romantically linking her to politician Sandro Marcos.

"Hindi po yun totoo at all. Tawang-tawa nga po kami," she said.

"Nalagyan lang po ng malisya dahil sa slow-mo, nalagyan ng music," Yassi continued, referring to a cozy video of them which has since gone viral.

As for her separation with Jon: "Matagal na po kasi talaga kami naghiwalay. And I'm very, very grateful to Jon. He's a great person. Sobrang mabait po talaga pero sana people just respect our privacy. At siya rin po is very private person."
