People online have these reactions to Jackie Gonzaga and Darren Espanto’s dance number.

It’s Showtime hosts Jackie Gonzaga and Darren Espanto are being shipped and here’s their recent dance number during this event.



Vice Ganda, Anne Curtis, Vhong Navarro, Jhong Hilario, Kim Chiu, Ogie Alcasid, Karylle, Amy Perez, Teddy Corpuz, Jugs Jugueta, Darren, Ryan Bang, Ion Perez, Jackie Gonzaga, MC, Lassy, and Cianne Dominguez are current hosts of It’s Showtime.

This year, the show marked its 15th anniversary and to kick off their 16th year, they had an unforgettable afterparty. This was when the teasing between Darren Espanto and Jackie Gonzaga started because of their extraordinary closeness. It all began when he took care of her when she got drunk.

The JaRen tandem was born, and recently, during the year-end event with the staff of the noontime show, netizens’ attention was caught when a video of their dance number was uploaded online.

Jackie was seen dancing on top of Darren who was sitting on a chair. She then continued her moves while hugging him from the back and netizens have various reactions to the video. People online have mixed judgment about the video. Some liked their chemistry while to some, the video did not sit well as Jackie is older than him.

Here are the comments:

Grabe ang kilig Kay Jackie and daren

Bakit si jackie lng ang bina bash nyo eh game din nmn si darren

Parang kinikilig ako kay Darren at jackieeeeeeeee

stop romanticizing Jackie’s action towards Darren. It’s disgusting and disturbing enough.

wag na dapat ipilit si Darren kay Jackie. halata namang cringe and ilang si Darren sakanya..

Meanwhile, Showtime will continue airing in GMA this 2025. A confirmation has been released and both the noontime show and ABS-CBN are grateful to the renewed contract for them to stay in the noontime slot.
