"Pinoy Big Brother: Gen 11 Edition" housemate JM Ibarra is embracing a deeper connection with the reality show’s grand winner, Fyang Smith, as he looks forward to strengthening their bond outside the famous Bahay ni Kuya.

In a recent interview, Ibarra expressed his excitement about taking their friendship to the next level.

"Oo naman, looking forward din naman ako doon. Gaya ng sabi ko, ayoko tapusin ang mga bagay na hindi naman ako satisfied. At siyempre, 'yung sa part na 'to, ayoko tapusin," he shared.

Ibarra also opened up about how their relationship has evolved since their time inside the "PBB" house.

"Siguro mas closer siya sa puso ko ngayon compared sa pinagsamahan namin sa 'PBB.' Mas kilala namin ang isa't isa ngayon, at mas malapit na din kami sa mga pamilya namin," he said.

When asked if Smith has already met his family, he revealed: "Palagi."

With Valentine’s Day approaching, Ibarra shared that he wants to spend the occasion with his family, friends, and loved ones.

"Gusto ko i-celebrate 'yung Valentine's kasama pamilya, kaibigan, siyempre kasama mga mahal sa buhay," he said.

However, when asked if he had specific plans for Smith on Valentine's Day, Ibarra playfully kept things under wraps, simply saying, "Secret!"

Ibarra and Smith first met as housemates in "PBB: Gen 11 Edition," where their friendship grew in front of the cameras.
