Manila, Philippines β€” Viewers of It’s Showtime were left in absolute shock and heartbreak on Friday afternoon when Kim Chiu, one of the show’s most beloved hosts, announced her final farewell during a tearful live broadcast that sent fans and co-hosts alike into an emotional meltdown.

After months of swirling rumors and cryptic social media posts, Kim finally addressed the elephant in the room β€” and what she said left millions of loyal viewers in tears.

“This is the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make,” Kim said through trembling lips. “But today, I’m saying goodbye… not just to this stage, but to a chapter of my life that changed me forever.”

As her voice cracked and tears streamed down her face, Vice Ganda, Anne Curtis, and other co-hosts rushed to her side, offering hugs, words of comfort, and fighting back their own emotions in a scene that has since gone viral across the country.

😭 TEARS ON STAGE β€” A HEARTBREAKING GOODBYE

The farewell segment, which aired live just before the show’s closing, began like any other β€” until Kim suddenly requested a few minutes to speak.

β€œI want to take this moment, not as a celebrity, but as Kim β€” the girl who found family on this stage,” she said, her voice shaking.

Then, with her hands tightly gripping the mic, she dropped the bombshell:

β€œToday is my last day on It’s Showtime.”

Gasps could be heard from the studio audience, while some co-hosts immediately began to cry β€” especially Vhong Navarro, who looked visibly shaken and kept wiping his tears with a handkerchief.

Vice Ganda, always the strong one, tried to smile through her pain, but eventually broke down and whispered, β€œHindi kita papayagang basta-basta mawala, Kimmy.”

πŸ’” WHY IS KIM LEAVING?

While Kim Chiu didn’t disclose all the reasons behind her departure, she hinted at major personal and professional changes happening behind the scenes.

β€œI need to focus on new opportunities, on my growth, and on things that have been waiting for me for a long time,” she said.

Entertainment insiders speculate that her exit may be connected to upcoming film projects, a rumored teleserye comeback, and intensified wedding planning with Paulo Avelino, following his recent public revelation about their relationship.

Others believe that creative differences and her increasingly packed schedule may have also played a role.

🧨 UNAIRED FOOTAGE LEAKED β€” β€œKIM CRIED BACKSTAGE FOR HOURS!”

While the farewell that aired was already emotional, insiders from the show claim that what happened backstage was even more dramatic.

According to a production assistant who asked not to be named, Kim was sobbing uncontrollably after the cameras stopped rolling.

β€œShe hugged every staff member. Makeup artists, cameramen, floor directors β€” she was crying and thanking everyone. The whole team was crying with her,” the source revealed.

The same insider claims that Vice Ganda stayed behind after taping ended, holding Kim’s hand for over an hour while they sat quietly in her dressing room.

β€œThey’re not just co-hosts. They’re real-life family,” said the source. β€œLosing Kim on the show is like losing a piece of Showtime’s soul.”

🌟 A LEGACY OF LAUGHTER, LOVE, AND LIGHT

Since joining It’s Showtime in 2020, Kim Chiu brought a unique blend of charm, energy, and raw authenticity that fans immediately fell in love with. From her playful banter with Vice to her emotional reaction during viral Reina ng Tahanan segments, she proved she was more than just a guest β€” she was a core part of the family.

Fans will never forget her iconic β€œBawal Judgmental” comebacks, her hilarious dance bloopers, and the way she would instantly cry whenever a contestant shared a touching story.

β€œKim is not just a celebrity β€” she’s our sunshine,” wrote one fan on Facebook. β€œShe made us laugh and cry at the same time.”

πŸ€” WILL SHE EVER RETURN?

Before the segment ended, Kim gave a sliver of hope to fans desperately clinging to the possibility of a comeback.

β€œI may be saying goodbye now… but in this world, nothing is permanent. Who knows what tomorrow brings?”

ABS-CBN has yet to release an official statement regarding her exit, but sources say discussions are ongoing for a β€œspecial farewell tribute episode” set to air in the coming weeks.

AJ Raval, Matapang na Nanindigan: β€œWala kaming sinaktan, wala kaming niloko”

AJ Raval insists relationship with Aljur Abrenica began after his split with Kylie Padilla - YouTube

Sa gitna ng mga kontrobersya at batikos na bumabalot sa kanyang relasyon kay Aljur Abrenica, muling nagsalita ang aktres na si AJ Raval upang linawin ang mga paratang laban sa kanya. Sa isang emosyonal na Facebook live, iginiit ng β€œSugapa” star na hindi siya naging dahilan ng hiwalayan nina Aljur at Kylie Padilla, at hindi siya ang third party na sinisisi ng publiko.

β€œNakilala Ko Siya Bilang Kaibigan”

Sa live video, ibinahagi ni AJ ang kwento ng kanilang relasyon ni Aljur. Aniya, una silang nagkakilala sa set ng pelikulang β€œNerisa” kung saan naging magkaibigan lamang sila. β€œKuya ang tawag ko sa kanya noon,” sabi ni AJ. Nang lumaon, nanligaw si Aljur matapos kumpirmahin na hiwalay na ito kay Kylie.

β€œTinanong ko siya, paano β€˜yung wife, paano β€˜yung family. Sabi niya sa akin, okay lang β€˜yun, hiwalay na talaga sila,” dagdag ni AJ. Ayon pa sa aktres, naging opisyal ang kanilang relasyon isang taon matapos silang magkilala, noong Hulyo lamang ng nakaraang taon.

β€œHindi Ako Kabit”

Mariing itinanggi ni AJ na siya ang naging dahilan ng paghihiwalay nina Aljur at Kylie. β€œI swear to God, mamatay man ang buong pamilya ko, nag-start ang relasyon namin nang wala kaming sinaktan, wala kaming nilokong tao,” aniya. Sinabi rin niyang may iba nang partner si Kylie nang magsimula ang kanilang relasyon, dahilan kung bakit siya nagdesisyong β€œmag-go” sa panliligaw ni Aljur.

β€œKilala Ko ang Totoong Third Party”

Bagamat hindi pinangalanan, sinabi ni AJ na alam niya kung sino ang tunay na taong involved sa hiwalayan nina Aljur at Kylie. β€œAyoko mag-name drop pero kilala ko kung sino ang totoong tao na involved sa panloloko sa relationship nilang dalawa,” pagbunyag ni AJ. Idinagdag niya na ang naturang babae ay may sarili nang pamilya ngayon.

 

Panawagan na Itigil ang Paninira

Hiniling ni AJ na itigil na ng mga bashers ang pag-uugnay sa kanya sa isyu. β€œTama na guys, pakinggan niyo si Kylie, tama na ang pagta-tag sa kanya, nananahimik β€˜yung tao,” aniya. Pinasinungalingan din niya ang mga isyu tungkol sa β€œbaby” na diumano’y kanilang anak ni Aljur.

Samantala, nananatiling tikom ang bibig ni Kylie Padilla sa gitna ng muling pagbubukas ng usapin tungkol sa hiwalayan nila ni Aljur. Ang kanyang naunang pahayag na maayos na sila ni Aljur at nakapag-move on na ay tila sinusuportahan ang panig ni AJ.

Habang patuloy ang usapin, malinaw na naninindigan si AJ Raval na walang maling nagawa ang kanilang relasyon. Ngunit ang tanong, matatapos na ba ang kontrobersya, o lalo pang lalala? Abangan ang susunod na kabanata ng kwento ng kanilang buhay.
