The post featured a series of photos showing the couple enjoying a luxurious staycation —she, in a black dress holding a beautiful bouquet of red, white, and pink roses, and he, in a gray shirt from his Street Visionaries (SV) merch.
Her caption read: "Happy anniversary booboo [emojis] 3 years na pero parang pang 3 weeks pa lang ang pagka-annoying natin. [emoji]
"Thank you for being on the rollercoaster with me!
"Looking forward to more years of happy, sad, determined, stressed, finding purpose, chill lang, in love, out love and all of the above, paulit-ulit.. basta magkasama [emoji]
"I know you're a lot of things to a lot of people and may ibat-ibang title ka na, but whenever you just wanna be booboo, I'm here and I love you [white heart emoji]"
The post captured their short escape from the hustle and bustle of work life, with the stunning view of Mt. Batulao in the background.
Based on the carousel of photos, it appeared that Rhian and Sam were at the Coi Hotel Resort, a modern Japanese-inspired staycation destination in Calaca City, Batangas.
One particular image depicted Sam relaxing by the infinity pool, with the inactive stratovolcano behind him.
A closer look at their accommodations revealed they stayed in one of the hotel's two opulent villas, the Yang.
The villa boasts a master bedroom, a room with a double bed, and a spacious living room.

RHIAN IS NOT IN A RUSH TO MARRY SAM
Three years into her relationship with Sam, Rhian it seems is not in a hurry to get married.
At a media conference held in March 2024 for her movie Miss Probinsyana, directed by Jenny Pearl "JP" Bautista-Ninalga, the Kapuso actress discussed their relationship and future plans.
Rhian emphasized that marriage is not their current priority.
Both she and the Frontrow co-founder are focused on their flourishing careers, and their professional commitments remain at the forefront of their lives.
She told PEP and othe rmembers of the press, "Uh, plano? Not really. I think, we’re both super duper busy right now. Hahaha!
"And ano, sobrang naka-focus kami sa mga ginagawa namin. Lately, we see each other mabilis na lang. Tapos, back to work."
When asked about her reaction should Sam propose unexpectedly, Rhian laughed and said, "Well, I wouldn’t be dating him naman if I didn’t think na we have a chance to end up there.
"So, yeah. I mean, it is naman something na minsan we talk about it. But we’re not making any plans talaga."
And if and when they do decide to get married, Rhian clarified there would be no problem with regard to Sam's kids from a previous relationship.
She said, "Uh, no, no, no. Wala namang problema except that we’re busy. Hahaha!
"I think, both of us still really wanna achieve a lot; and I guess, that’s why it is called settling down, di ba?
"It’s like you focus on that when that happens. So, at the moment, we are still focusing on other things."
She said further that she has always respected Sam's relationship with his kids, "I don’t want naman, you know, overstep or anything.
"And also, I mean, I remember when my parents are dating someone, I was, like, ‘Eeew.’ So, I don’t want to get into that."
Asked to comment about the surge of celebrity couples splitting after getting engaged, Rhian said, “I don’t know why, kung bakit nagsabay-sabay lahat.
"Wala naman akong ano, masyadong ma-react. Basta wag ako, ganun! Hahaha!"
The 33-year-old model and host also noted that ultimately, each person's experience is unique and differs from one relationship to the next.
"But I….I don’t know. I just feel like time is changing and people are changing," Rhian concluded.
