Eman Bacosa Pacquiao and Jillian Ward have finally met!
The young boxer–turned–new Sparkle artist attended the premiere of KMJS’ Gabi ng Lagim The Movie, where he crossed paths with Jillian for the first time.
In a video captured by GMA Network, Eman greeted the actress with a warm hug before the two formed a heart shape with their hands, a gesture that instantly sent kilig through the crowd and social media.
The meeting comes weeks after Eman openly admitted on Fast Talk With Boy Abunda that Jillian is his celebrity crush. Jillian later reacted on Unang Hirit, saying she hoped they would eventually see each other in person.
“Nakakatuwa and sana mag meet kami,” she said. “Sana soon, hindi lang online.”
Before the premiere, Jillian shared that Eman had been engaging with her on Instagram.
“Na-appreciate ko naman. Finollow niya po ako, finollow back ko,” she said, adding she had also seen TikToks about him and found him “very Godly” and “very nice.”
Eman recently signed with Sparkle GMA Artist Center, while Jillian is gearing up for the nationwide release of KMJS’ Gabi ng Lagim The Movie on November 26.
