Meeting in the orbit of cinema, Prilly Latuconsina and Omara Esteghlal found their inspirations not on screen, but in each other. Together, they take joy and pride in the way love lets them see themselves through a kinder, brighter light.

They say love gives you a new world. But maybe its real magic is helping you meet the version of yourself waiting to be seen, through the eyes of someone who becomes both your mirror and your muse. For Prilly Latuconsina and Omara Esteghlal, that’s exactly what love has done. 

Spending much of her life under the spotlight, Prilly has learned that acting is less about pretending and more about uncovering. “Acting has always been my therapy,” she admits. “I’m not someone who easily shows negative emotions, but through acting, I get to let them out. Every character teaches me something new about what it means to be human.” 

Over a decade into her career, she has long moved past the “Indonesia’s sweetheart” label. These days, she’s a powerhouse—actor, producer, entrepreneur—constantly switching hats but never losing her spark. “That curiosity to create, to bring something meaningful into people’s lives, that’s what keeps me going,” she says. 

With Prilly’s boundless inquisitiveness and versatility, conversations with her can wander from pop culture to social issues in one breath. “She’s my favourite person to talk to in the world,” says Omara Esteghlal, smiling at the mere mention of Prilly. “Her view on everything is this cocktail of intellect, knowledge, maturity, and critical thinking.” 

That admiration runs deep, and the connection first flickered on the set of “Budi Pekerti (Andragogy)” (2023), the film that brought them together both professionally and personally. The project earned Prilly her first Piala Citra for Best Supporting Actress at Festival Film Indonesia 2023 and landed Omara a nomination of his own for his role as Gora. 

Omara’s own path, on the other hand, has been an introspection. Having studied philosophy and psychology abroad before returning to acting, he carries a calm, thoughtful energy that seeps into every performance. This year, he’s stepping into new creative territory with the dark satire, “Tinggal Meninggal” (2025), as well as an exciting international role in the Netflix series, “Romantics Anonymous” (2025). 

While Omara admires Prilly’s brilliance, she sees something equally luminous in him. “I’ve told Omara I want him to see himself from my point of view,” she says. “He doesn’t always realise how special he is.” Her proudest moments often happen at his premieres, watching him shine. “He’s perfect because his imperfections make him who he is,” she adds tenderly, “I’m proud of him every single day.” 

Beyond the awards and intellectual admiration, their love story started in a playful key, through the power of Taylor Swift’s lyrics. Prilly would post subtle hints of her affection on Instagram Stories, stitched with well-chosen Swift songs. 

“He didn’t really get the Taylor Swift thing at first,” she laughs. “But he tried to listen anyway.” Omara smiles at the memory. “I didn’t understand the obsession,” he admits self-consciously, “but I understood her. Those songs became a window into her world and showed me how romantic and hopeful she is, how she looks for the meaning in moments.” 

When asked how they support each other, their answers come easily. “He always reminds me to believe in myself,” Prilly says. “Whenever I doubt my worth or chase others’ expectations, he brings me back to my own journey, to value the process, not just the outcome.” Omara, in turn, finds inspiration in her drive. “I’ve admired her work ethic for years,” he says. “But knowing her personally, I see how much heart she puts into everything. She doesn’t do things halfway; she’s all in.” 

Prilly and Omara’s relationship thrives like two different energies meeting in the middle. When she’s expressive and instinctive, he’s composed and methodical. Sure, they don’t always see eye to eye, but that’s part of the fun. 

“Every time we disagree, his unique perspective and practicality help me grow,” Prilly says. “He reminds me to embrace differences instead of resisting them.” The feeling is entirely mutual. “I think that’s what keeps us growing,” Omara adds. “She helps me see things with more heart. We balance each other out: she brings warmth, I bring calm. It’s a good mix.” 

Their chemistry mirrors Chopard’s philosophy, where true artistry lies in blending emotion with precision and creating something lasting, not just fleeting. Renowned as one of haute horlogerie and haute joaillerie’s leading manufactures, Chopard is led by the Scheufeles, Karl-Friedrich and Caroline, who are keen on leaving a lifelong legacy. Specialising in creating fine timepieces and exquisite jewellery, the Maison takes inspiration from the Scheufele’s own stories, as well as the brand’s illustrious past. Taking traditional skills and craftsmanship into the future, Chopard champions sustainability, particularly in the gold and stones they use for their watches and jewellery pieces. With this in mind, the brand is keen on ensuring that their products not only exude timeless value, but also embody permanence. This enduring quality is what draws Prilly and Omara, and explains why they both gravitate towards vintage and classic timepieces. 

“Chopard has a charm that never tries too hard,” Prilly shares. “For me, its elegance endures because of simplicity. Less is more.” Omara’s appreciation runs a little deeper. For him, design isn’t just about how something looks, but about the craftsmanship and history behind it, and the details that give it soul. “Timeless design, to me, comes from universality,” he says. “When something speaks a language everyone understands, yet still keeps its sense of class and exclusivity, that’s what makes it last. This is what Chopard imparts to me.” 

It’s easy to picture Prilly with the Chopard Happy Sport, a watch that is spirited yet graceful, effortless, and full of joie de vivre, just the way its designer, Caroline Scheufele intended. The fascinating manner the glittering diamonds dance across the dial mirrors the sparkle in her laugh. Omara, meanwhile, finds his match in the Chopard Alpine Eagle, with its sleek, strong,  and quietly confident allure. Designed by Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, the Alpine Eagle was derived from the watchmaker’s passion for the Alps. Crafted of glistening steel that represents the glaciers found in the Alps, it bears a dial that has a rock-like texture reminiscent of the eagle’s iris. With a stunning silhouette that dominates the horizon, the timepiece perfectly captures the piercing clarity of the versatile actor’s vision. 

“When I think about time,” Omara reflects, “I think about how it teaches you to be present. Acting, love, life. It’s all about paying attention. If you rush through it, you miss the meaning.” Prilly, who once defined her productivity by constant work, is now welcoming a new mindset. “I used to define productivity by working,” she reflects. “Now, I’m learning to slow down, to simply be without an agenda, and to spend time with the person I love.” By both wearing Chopard and championing timelessness, they embrace a way of life that is truly worth living. 

In a world hooked on big romantic gestures, the couple skip the spectacle celebrations for what really counts—connection. For Prilly, it’s about being present, not putting on a show. 

“Sometimes it’s a quiet dinner,” she says. “Other times, we reward ourselves by travelling and making new memories together.” Omara keeps it even simpler. “We have countless little rituals, but they all eventually come down to just being together for a long while.” 

Ultimately, their separate journeys have led them to the same quiet realisation: that a life well-lived is measured not in achievements, but in moments of pure joy. 

“Joy, for me,” Prilly says, “is that feeling of contentment when I’m doing what I love and sharing it with the people I love most.” Chopard’s joie de vivre is reflected in this sentiment; it relishes priceless moments and puts great value in meaning and the presentation of time in its repertoire of products. For Omara, it’s a more philosophical pursuit. Lately, he’s been drawn to the delight of taking a momentary pause from life’s heavier moments. He summarises, “joy feels like a spark of excitement that reminds you to appreciate the moment while it lasts.” 

And this is only their first chapter. Together, they are building a life where love means bringing out the best in each other, to live through the everyday art of showing up. Like Chopard, which is inspired by its own history and wonderfully endures thanks to the efforts of the visionary family that leads it, their story gleams from within—timeless, luminous, and beautifully alive.
