Sam and Ann: Caught in the act!

After happily announcing that they are "exclusively dating", Sam Milby and Anne Curtis are apparently making great progress in their relationship.

During the second Star Magic Ball held at the Isla Ballroom of the Edsa Shangri-La Hotel in Mandaluyong last June 29, the celebrity couple were spotted constantly holding hands under the table throughout the program that night.

"From the moment they walked down the red carpet until the program proper, they were already very touchy-feely. They’re obviously very smitten with each other," an observer says.

Another witness noted how Sam caressed Anne’s hand while their fingers were intertwined while watching the program.

Sam wore a Francis Libiran suit while Anne was in a stunning Jun Escario gown. The couple won the Sparkling Couple award for the night.

Sam and Anne, who admitted they got close while doing the teleserye Maging Sino Ka Man, are again being paired in the upcoming fantaserye Dyosa.

Of the new series, Anne says, ""It’s definitely hard work, but a lot of fun. So much fun. We’re becoming like family."

Sam and Anne also both admitted that they have matured a lot from the time they first met and that their relationship—although nothing official has been announced—is going towards a good direction right now.

"We’re good. We're happy. Obviously," Anne gushes. -abs-cbn news
