Rumor has it that romance bloomed between Jackie Gonzaga and Darren Espanto
It’s Showtime host Jackie Gonzaga had this answer when asked about the real score between her and her co-host, singer Darren Espanto.
Jackie and Darren have been together on the Kapamilya noontime show for quite a long time now. With their closeness, it was inevitable for viewers to speculate that there might be something special between them.
In a recent interview on the Kapuso afternoon talk show Fast Talk with Boy Abunda, based on the article in Inquirer, Jackie was asked about the rumors linking her to Darren.
The TV host-dancer denied that there was something romantic between her and the singer. Jackie Gonzaga is now 30 years old, while Darren Espanto is 24.
Fans could not help but ship them, especially during the Christmas party of the show’s hosts and staff last year, when Jackie danced on Darren’s lap. Their video went viral.
The viral video received a comment from Unkabogable Star Vice Ganda. He said that it was okay since they are “magkakapatid” in the show.
When King of Talk Boy Abunda asked Jackie about her and the singer, she said, “Hindi po kami ni Darren.” She also said that Darren did not court her.
“Sa amin po sa It’s Showtime sobrang close po naming lahat. ‘Yung relationship namin talaga roon, iba po talaga. Kasi every day, tito, talagang nagkakasama,” Jackie said.
On the other hand, she revealed that she is dating someone younger, but she did not reveal the identity of the guy.
In the same interview, Jackie Gonzaga was joined by her It’s Showtime co-host Cianne Dominguez. They shared the important lessons they learned from Vice Ganda, especially when it comes to their jobs in the Philippine entertainment industry.
