Zeinab Harake and Bobby Ray Parks Jr. Tie the Knot in Intimate Tagaytay Ceremony — A Celebration of Love, Family, and Future Dreams

June 5, 2025

In a heartfelt and private ceremony held at the scenic Crystal Palace of Aquila in the Sky, Tagaytay City, social media influencer Zeinab Harake and professional basketball star Bobby Ray Parks Jr. officially became husband and wife on June 1, 2025.

A Simple, Intimate Wedding Surrounded by Loved Ones

True to Zeinab’s desire for a low-key yet meaningful celebration, the wedding was an intimate gathering of close family and friends, reflecting the couple’s focus on love and family over extravagance.

The ceremony began around 4:30 PM with touching moments including Bobby Ray being escorted down the aisle by his mother, while Zeinab was given away by her father. Their children played special roles: daughter Bia as one of the flower girls and their adopted son Lucas as the ring bearer, symbolizing the unity of their blended family.

Notable personalities such as Paul Soriano and Toni Gonzaga served as principal sponsors, with a star-studded entourage including Alex Gonzaga, Loisa Andalio, Yassi Pressman, Andrea Brillantes, and close friend Awra Briguela attending the joyous event.

Investing in the Future Rather Than a Lavish Celebration

In earlier interviews, Zeinab expressed a preference for channeling resources into building their future home rather than hosting an extravagant wedding.

“Instead of spending a large amount on the wedding, it’s better to invest in our future with the kids,” Zeinab shared.
The couple has already purchased a lot, and Bobby Ray is committed to extending his basketball career in Japan for another year to support this dream.

Their plans reflect a thoughtful and grounded approach to family life, with Zeinab emphasizing the importance of stability when they eventually expand their family further.

A Love Story Built on Faith and Family

Zeinab and Bobby Ray’s relationship began in 2023, blossoming quickly into a committed partnership. Their engagement in July 2024 was met with joy from fans and friends alike.

Zeinab, who is known for her deep Catholic faith, credits Bobby Ray for strengthening her spiritual journey. She shared,

“When we feel like we’re about to get into a fight, Ray and I would pause and pray first. This is actually the most important blessing that Ray has given me, more than his love.”

This spiritual connection has been a cornerstone in their relationship, helping them navigate challenges and deepen their bond.

Looking Ahead: Building a Life Full of Love and Happiness

As newlyweds, Zeinab and Bobby Ray are focused on creating a nurturing environment for their blended family. Their grounded approach to love and life, coupled with their shared goals, promises a future filled with warmth and mutual support.

Fans are eager to see what the future holds for this inspiring couple, who have shown that love, faith, and family values can truly unite hearts.
