During a recent press conference celebrating the 15th anniversary of the popular noontime show It’s Showtime, Vice Ganda, the “Unkabogable Star” and one of the main hosts of the show, responded to the swirling rumors about his co-host Jackie Gonzaga’s pregnancy. The rumor claimed that Jackie was expecting a child, and that her boyfriend, Ion Perez, was the father. Vice Ganda, always known for his wit and humor, didn’t shy away from addressing the issue, adding his signature flair to the discussion.

Jackie, in her own part of the press conference, opened up about how It’s Showtime has significantly impacted her personal and professional growth since she became part of the show. She spoke candidly about the transformation she’s gone through, especially with how the show has affected her character development and public image. Jackie emphasized the role of Showtime in shaping how she presents herself, both in terms of appearance and demeanor.

“Of course, aside from character development and the way people recognize you, Showtime really has a big impact. Because here, you need to be presentable,” Jackie explained. She further shared how the platform has helped her improve in various aspects of her life, contributing to her “glow-up.” This term refers to her transformation into a more confident and polished version of herself. She continued, “That’s where the glow-up really happens.”

Her co-host Darren Espanto, who was present during the interview, couldn’t resist teasing Jackie about her noticeable style evolution. “That’s why she wears a crop top every day,” Darren playfully remarked, alluding to Jackie’s fashion choices that reflect her newfound confidence and style.

This lighthearted banter between the hosts reflected the close-knit camaraderie that the It’s Showtime team shares, which has been a significant factor in the show’s success over the years. While addressing the rumors, Vice Ganda added a comedic twist, keeping the atmosphere of the press conference light-hearted while subtly affirming the strong friendship and unity among the show’s hosts.

Jackie’s comments, along with Vice and Darren’s playful interactions, showcased the positive energy and growth that It’s Showtime continues to foster in its cast, not just in terms of career, but also in their personal journeys.
