Julia Clarete has broken her silence and has made her and Vic Sotto’s child public.

It can be recalled that Julia Clarete’s sudden departure from the noontime show Eat Bulaga was a hot topic.

Along with Julia’s departure from the said program, there were rumors that she and Vic Sotto had an affair.

It is said that the reason Julia left Eat Bulaga was because she was pregnant, and since then Julia has focused on her personal life.

It can also be remembered that TV host actor Vic Sotto strongly denied the accusations that he and Julia Clarete had an affair.

Julia also said the same in her interviews that there is no truth to that rumor.

But recently Julia Clarete has made her eldest son public and it has not escaped the eyes of critical netizens.

That’s why her previous issue with Vic Sotto suddenly resurfaced, saying that this might be the result of her relationship with TV host Vic Sotto.

According to netizens, it can’t be denied because if you look closely, her face really looks like Bossing Vic Sotto.

Her appearance is not far from Vico Sotto, who is also Vic Sotto’s son.

In a revelation that has shocked fans and ignited widespread conversation across social media, former “Eat Bulaga!” host and actress Julia Clarete has finally introduced her child to the public — and netizens can’t help but notice one undeniable detail: the child’s striking resemblance to TV legend Vic Sotto.

This unexpected development has left many fans reeling, while others are expressing admiration, curiosity, and nostalgia over the connection between the two former co-hosts who once shared the noontime spotlight.

A Long-Awaited Introduction

Julia Clarete, who has lived a quieter life away from the Philippine limelight in recent years, took to her official social media account to share a series of heartwarming photos with her son. Though she did not initially name the father, the photos spoke volumes.

“I’ve kept this part of my life private for a long time,” Julia wrote. “But today, I want to celebrate the light of my life — my child.”

The post quickly gained traction, not only because of Julia’s heartfelt tone but because of the child’s remarkable resemblance to Vic Sotto — leading many to speculate, reminisce, and dig deeper into the nature of Julia’s past with the veteran actor-comedian.

“He Looks Just Like Bossing!”

The comments section was flooded with fans pointing out the similar features between the child and Vic Sotto — from the eyes to the trademark smile that many Filipinos recognize as “Bossing’s.”

“Am I the only one seeing Vic Sotto here?!” one user exclaimed.

“It’s like looking at a younger Bossing — grabe!” another commented.

While Julia remained graceful and composed, she neither confirmed nor denied the speculations — choosing instead to focus on her pride and joy as a mother, emphasizing the joy her son brings to her life.

A Shared History?

Julia Clarete and Vic Sotto have long been the subject of rumors, dating back to their time together on Eat Bulaga!, where their chemistry and closeness on-screen often sparked speculation. However, both remained tight-lipped over the years, and no romantic relationship was ever officially confirmed.

Now, with this revelation, many fans are revisiting those old moments, wondering if there was more behind the smiles and glances on live television.

Vic Sotto’s Camp Remains Silent

As of writing, Vic Sotto has not released any public comment regarding Julia Clarete’s post or the circulating rumors. However, close sources have said that the comedian has always maintained a respectful silence on matters related to his personal and paternal life, having already acknowledged several children from previous relationships.

Fans are now waiting to see if Bossing will address the matter — either with confirmation, clarity, or the same signature silence he’s known for.

A Mother’s Joy

Despite the swirling rumors, Julia Clarete’s message remains clear: her child is her greatest source of strength and happiness.

“He is my reason. My heart walks outside my body because of him,” she wrote.

In a world that often seeks gossip over grace, Julia’s decision to celebrate motherhood on her own terms is both bold and refreshing.

LUMUHA ANG BUONG ‘IT’S SHOWTIME’! Biglaang PAG-ALIS ng Isa sa Kanila, NAGPAGULAT sa Lahat — TUNAY na Dahilan, NAKAKAKILABOT!

Isang emosyonal na eksena ang naganap kamakailan sa noontime show na It’s Showtime matapos ang hindi inaasahang pag-alis ng isa sa mga paboritong miyembro ng programa. Sa gitna ng tawanan at kasiyahan, biglang naging seryoso ang mood sa studio nang in-announce ang desisyon ng isa sa mga host na lumisan—at ang tunay na dahilan sa likod nito ay masalimuot, nakakakilabot, at labis na nakakaiyak.

😱 Ang Pag-alis na Walang Babala

Walang sinuman ang nakahanda para sa biglaan at live na anunsyo. Habang nagsasagawa ng closing segment ang buong cast, tumayo ang host na ito, namumugto ang mata at nanginginig ang tinig, at sinabing:

“Ito na po siguro ang tamang panahon para ako’y magpaalam…”

Nagulat ang lahat. Maging ang co-hosts gaya nina Vice Ganda, Anne Curtis, at Vhong Navarro ay hindi agad nakapagsalita. Ramdam na ramdam sa studio ang tensyon at lungkot habang unti-unting lumuluha ang bawat isa.

💔 Behind-the-Scenes: Matagal na Palang Pinag-iisipan

Ayon sa isang source na malapit sa production team ng It’s Showtime, matagal nang nagkakaroon ng matinding emotional stress ang host na ito. Hindi umano ito simpleng career move lang—may mas malalim na dahilan sa likod ng kanyang desisyon.

“Nakaranas siya ng anxiety at burnout. Lahat akala masaya lang sa harap ng camera, pero hindi nila alam na halos gabi-gabi na siyang umiiyak sa bahay,” ayon sa insider.

Bukod pa rito, may mga bulung-bulungan na nagkaroon daw ng hindi pagkakaunawaan sa pagitan niya at ng ilang miyembro ng team—mga tensyon na hindi na naayos kahit sa mga off-cam meetings.

🧿 May Kinalaman ba ang Pamahiin at Masasamang Panaginip?

Ang lalong nakakakilabot? May ilang fans ang nagsabi sa social media na ilang araw bago ang biglaang pag-alis, napapansin na nilang tila “wala sa sarili” ang host. May isa pang insider na nagsabing:

“May mga panaginip daw siyang inuulit-ulit—madilim, may mga boses, at palaging may paalam. May nararamdaman daw siyang ‘masama’ pero hindi niya masabi kung ano.”

May ilang netizens na nagsabing baka ito ay babala o masamang pahiwatig. Dahil dito, may mga haka-haka na baka may spiritual o psychic reason sa likod ng biglaang pamamaalam.

😭 Vice Ganda, Hindi Na Napigilan ang Luha

Isa sa pinaka-emosyonal na reaksyon ay galing mismo kay Vice Ganda, na halos hindi makapagsalita sa gitna ng live segment.

“Ang hirap tanggapin… pero naiintindihan ko,” bulalas niya, habang yakap-yakap ang host na aalis. “Hindi madali ang ginagawa natin araw-araw, pero mas hindi madaling mawala ang isang taong minahal na namin parang kapamilya.”

Anne Curtis, na kilalang close rin sa nasabing host, ay tahimik lang at nakitang nakayuko habang umiiyak. Sa gitna ng tensyon, naging isang tahimik na sandali ng pagninilay ang programa—isang bihirang pangyayari sa isang masayahing show.

🧩 Sino nga ba ang Aalis?

Bagama’t hindi pa opisyal na pinapangalanan sa media, maraming netizens ang may hula kung sino ang host na ito. Trending ngayon sa X (Twitter) ang hashtags:
#ShowtimeGoodbye, #WeWillMissYou, at #SalamatSaLahat.

May ilan ang nagsabing baka si Jugs Jugueta, dahil matagal na rin umano itong tahimik sa ilang episodes. May nagsabi rin na baka si Karylle, na ilang beses nang nababalitang may bagong proyekto sa ibang istasyon. Ngunit hanggang ngayon ay wala pang kumpirmasyon mula sa management.

📢 ABS-CBN Management, Nagsalita Na

Sa isang maikling pahayag ng ABS-CBN, sinabi ng network:

“Ang bawat miyembro ng It’s Showtime ay mahalaga sa amin. Respeto ang ibinibigay namin sa kanilang mga desisyon, lalo na kung ito’y para sa kanilang personal na kaligayahan at mental health. Ang aming suporta ay buong-buo.”

💬 Mga Reaksyon ng Netizens: “Parang Nawala ang Isang Pamilya”

Hindi rin nagpahuli ang mga netizens sa pagbuhos ng damdamin. Narito ang ilang trending comments online:

“Grabe, hindi ko kinaya yung iyak ni Vice. Ramdam mo talaga na may bigat ang nangyari.”
“Bakit parang may hindi sinasabi? May deeper reason to, for sure.”
“Hindi ko akalaing iiyak ako dahil lang sa isang TV show, pero parang nawalan talaga tayo ng isang pamilya.”

✨ Magbabalik pa ba siya?

Bagama’t hindi isinasara ng host ang pinto sa muling pagbabalik, sinabi niyang kailangan muna niya ng pahinga. Walang kasiguraduhan kung kailan siya babalik—o kung babalik pa ba talaga.

“Paalam muna, pero hindi pa ‘to ang huling kwento ko. Kapag handa na ako, magpapaalala ako kung gaano ko kayo kamahal,” ang kanyang huling salita.

🙏 Isang Paalam na May Puno ng Luha, Pagmamahal, at Misteryo

Ang pag-alis ng host na ito ay nag-iwan ng marka hindi lamang sa kanyang mga kasamahan kundi pati na rin sa milyun-milyong Pilipinong sumusubaybay araw-araw. Isa itong paalala na kahit sa likod ng ngiti, may mga kwento tayong hindi agad nakikita.

At sa It’s Showtime, hindi lang aliwan ang dala—kundi puso.
