Anne Curtis, Kim Chiu begged for love in past relationships
“You have to go through him. You shouldn’t go beyond him.”
Anne Curtis, 37, and Kim Chiu, 32, are guilty of begging in the name of love.

They say they have had to put aside their pride—no artistry—because of love.

The topic was brought up because of the lyrics “I’m begging you” of a song by a “Tawag Ng Tanghalan” contender on It’s Showtime on November 22, 2022.

Vice Ganda asked Anne if the actress had ever reached the point where she begged for a relationship and lost her self-esteem.

Anne replied: “It’s true, yes, it really happens.

“Yes, it happened [to me], but I think that’s the only good thing…

“Because I think that is what makes you realize that maybe that’s the saturation point that you’ll find, that you won’t reach that kind of place that you’re begging for.”

She said that was the time when she even forgot about her pride.

“No, no, you don’t think about that, eh. Your pride is crushed. You don’t think about it because you love the person,” Anne explained.

When you’re in that situation, there’s nothing you can do, no matter what your status in life is, whether you’re an “artist” or a “goddess” as Anne is called.

Vice turned to Kim and asked if she had ever felt like begging because of love.

Kim replied: “Yes. Maybe we’ll all go through that because [we] won’t be perfect.

“It’s true. You’ll all go through different kinds of love.”

Kim said she was grateful to have gotten over it.

“At the end of the day, you realize, ‘Oh, it’s over,’ like that. ‘Oh, it’s a good thing I’m smiling now.’”

She added, “You have to let it go. You shouldn’t go past it.”

Does she regret begging for love?

Kim quickly replied, “No! It’s okay. I’ve become even more beautiful.”

Anne also responded: “Not at all. I feel like it molds you as a person, too. “It makes you stronger. It makes you into a better person.

“It helps you move on to become stronger, so that when you meet the right person, right, you’re completely in love with so much knowledge.”

Kim’s boyfriend was actor Gerald Anderson and their breakup was controversial.

Kim is now happily married to boyfriend Xian Lim.

One of Anne’s controversial past relationships was with Sam Milby.

Anne married celebrity chef and vlogger Erwann Heussaff in 2017. They have one child, Dahlia, 2.

Kim Chiu Says Goodbye to It’s Showtime as Anne Curtis Makes Her Big Return — A New Chapter Begins!

In a moment that left both the studio and fans across the country in shock and emotion, actress-host Kim Chiu officially bid farewell to the long-running noontime variety show It’s Showtime. The surprise announcement came just as Anne Curtis made her much-anticipated return, setting the stage for a major shift in the show’s lineup — and perhaps, a new era.

A Farewell That Tugged at Hearts

Kim Chiu, known for her infectious energy, bubbly charm, and heartfelt hosting, delivered an emotional goodbye that caught many off guard. Dressed simply but elegantly, Kim took the microphone with teary eyes and a trembling voice.

“Thank you so much to my It’s Showtime family and to all the ‘madlang people’ who welcomed me with open arms. This show has changed my life.”

The studio audience, fellow hosts, and fans online were visibly moved by her words. Vice Ganda, one of her closest friends on the show, was seen hugging her tightly, whispering words of support as the moment unfolded live.

The Return of Anne Curtis

Just moments after Kim’s goodbye, It’s Showtime turned the page with the grand return of Anne Curtis. Her entrance was met with thunderous applause, and the atmosphere quickly shifted from tears to cheers.

“Hello madlang people! I missed you all so much!” Anne said with a bright smile, clearly overjoyed to be back on the stage she once ruled.

Anne had been on a hiatus, focusing on motherhood and other personal projects. Her return was long-awaited and highly requested by fans — but its timing alongside Kim’s departure raised eyebrows and sparked countless discussions online.

Social Media Explodes: Drama or Coincidence?

Almost instantly, #ThankYouKimChiu and #AnneIsBack began trending on social media platforms, with fans split between sadness over Kim’s exit and excitement about Anne’s return.

Some viewers speculated whether the two events were connected.

“Why did Kim have to leave just as Anne came back? Did the show only have space for one leading lady?” asked one user on X (formerly Twitter).

Others defended both stars, praising Kim for holding the fort during Anne’s absence, and welcoming Anne with love.

“Kim grew so much as a host — she deserves a standing ovation. Anne coming back is great too, but let’s not forget who carried the show when she was gone.”

What’s Next for Kim Chiu?

According to entertainment insiders, Kim Chiu may be preparing for a major television project with ABS-CBN, possibly even a comeback in a primetime teleserye. There are also whispers about international collaborations and film roles lined up for the actress.

While Kim has yet to confirm her next move, her management hinted at “exciting developments” in her career.

“This isn’t the end — it’s just the beginning of a new chapter,” one source revealed.

Passing the Torch

Kim joined It’s Showtime during a critical period, stepping in as a full-time host and winning over audiences with her quick wit and relatability. Her bond with the hosts, especially Vice Ganda, Karylle, and Vhong Navarro, became one of the highlights of her time on the show.

Now, with Anne Curtis returning to reclaim her space, the dynamics will surely shift once again.

“We will miss Kim’s laugh, her energy, her openness. She grew so much in this show,” said one longtime fan.

A Bittersweet Transition

Television, like life, is always evolving. Kim Chiu’s departure is bittersweet, especially for fans who watched her blossom into a confident and dynamic host. Yet, Anne Curtis’s return brings the promise of nostalgia, excitement, and a fresh new rhythm for the show.

In the end, one thing remains clear: both women are icons in their own right, and the madlang people will forever hold a place for them in their hearts.
