It’s Showtime host Karil was visibly thrilled when she reunited with her ex-boyfriend, Dingdong Dantes, during his recent visit to the show. Watch and listen to the full details.

Many were surprised when Kapuso actor Dingdong Dantes appeared on the noontime show It’s Showtime recently. His presence brought excitement to the audience, especially those watching live in the studio.

This unexpected appearance quickly became a hot topic among netizens. Many were happy that the two finally saw each other again after their breakup. It’s worth noting that since their separation, Dingdong and Karil had never seen or spoken to each other again. That’s why their reunion brought joy to many fans, who believe that the two have now moved on, hold no grudges, and are happy in their respective lives and relationships.

Of course, many also noticed that Karil seemed giddy and blushing upon seeing Dingdong. She couldn’t hide the smile on her face, a mix of excitement and shyness. Interestingly, her fellow hosts didn’t tease her about it—especially Vice, who is known for playful banter when there are guests, particularly those related to past love lives.

But this time, the situation was different. The hosts appeared to show respect for both Dingdong and Karil, as well as for their current partners. The moment received lots of positive feedback from netizens, praising the former celebrity couple for showing that there’s no bad blood between them anymore after their controversial breakup in 2008.

Though it wasn’t clear on camera whether they spoke or greeted each other, Dingdong’s visit to It’s Showtime was taken as a sign that all is well now, especially between him and Karil.

Meanwhile, many may recall that in 2023, Karil’s absence from an episode of It’s Showtime drew attention when Dingdong and his wife Marian Rivera visited the show to promote their movie Rewind. Her absence back then sparked various speculations.
