Actresses Kim Chiu and Jackie Gonzaga were visibly emotional during Monday’s episode of “It’s Showtime,” particularly in the “EXpecially For You” segment, where they were asked about their feelings regarding their exes. The conversation took an emotional turn when Vice Ganda posed a poignant question to Gonzaga: what would she do if she encountered her ex with a new girlfriend?

Gonzaga was the first to shed tears, responding, “If I see him when we leave ABS-CBN, I would avoid him and just cry when I get home.” Her heartfelt admission resonated with viewers as she wiped away her tears, showcasing the pain of moving on.

Chiu also became emotional when Gonzaga directed the same question to her. “Ate Kim, what should you do if you see him in the hallway with his new partner?” Gonzaga asked. Chiu, with tears in her eyes, replied, “I would face him. You shouldn’t turn your back on things that empower you.” This powerful moment culminated in a heartfelt hug between the two friends, emphasizing their support for one another during difficult times.

This isn’t the first instance of Gonzaga displaying vulnerability; she had previously reflected on the sacrifices she made in the name of love, which also brought her to tears. Additionally, it’s worth noting that just a few months prior, Chiu confirmed her breakup with actor Xian Lim, adding context to her emotional response during the segment.

The candid exchange highlighted the complexities of love and heartbreak, illustrating how even public figures like Chiu and Gonzaga navigate personal struggles while sharing their experiences with audiences.
