Throughout its nine year-run, "Gandang Gabi Vice" indeed brought us loads of good vibes and laughter through host Vice Ganda’s fun and insightful interviews with its celebrity guests. However, there are instances when it was sprinkled with kilig, such as when famous Kapamilya pairs graced the weekly comedy talk show.

Valentine’s Day may have already passed, but the kilig goes on for us as we revisit the memorable, love-filled appearances of five of our cherished Kapamilya real-life couples on the program in this GGV Toplist feature!

KZ Tandingan and TJ Monterde reminisced about their ligawan stage

The musical pair of KZ and TJ is one of the well-loved real-life couples in the local entertainment scene. But prior to becoming officially together and eventually getting married, not a lot of people were perhaps aware that their courtship stage actually lasted for 11 months, which they reminisced on during their guesting on GGV in July 2017. 

But before anyone could judge her, KZ clarified that it was because she wanted to gauge first the patience of TJ since he was her first-ever boyfriend. She recalled that TJ first asked her to become his girlfriend after around three to four months of courting, but she deemed it still too early, so she advised him to ask again after a month. TJ heeded her request, only to be told by KZ, “Next time na tanungin mo ako, sasabihin ko na sa’yo kung ano ang desisyon ko.”

KZ got perturbed when TJ didn’t ask her again after eight to nine months, so it prompted her to remind him about it since she already fell in love with him. Aside from wanting to test his patience, she confessed that it was also difficult for her to immediately believe that he genuinely liked her since she knew that his type of women before were “long-legged humans tapos may mga lahi.” 

Meanwhile, on his part, TJ admitted that he was a bit afraid to be rejected or “Kuya-zoned” by KZ, just like what she did to some of her past suitors. Besides, it also crossed his mind that she might be a “tomboy” due to his boyish behavior. However, even though that would be the case, he said that he didn’t pursue her with the goal of changing who she was but because he sincerely loved her. 

Both of them were hopeful then that KZ would be his last girlfriend while TJ would be her one and only—and it amazingly came true since they just marked their 10th year of togetherness!

Loisa Andalio and Ronnie Alonte’s relationship finally confirmed

Even though their actions were already speaking louder than their words, Loisa and Ronnie still didn’t declare themselves officially together. Thus, the Unkabogable Star already took the matter in her hands by having them take a fun mini quiz during their guesting in March 2018 to find out if they were already starting to be more than friends. 

In this game, they had to kiss each other if the “sign” mentioned by Vice described them at the time. As they gave each other a peck in every “sign”—daydreaming or fantasizing about Loisa, getting mad jealous whenever there were other girls around him, feeling excited to see one another again, yearning to make out or kiss, and touching each other more affectionately—there was definitely no doubt that their relationship already went beyond mere friendship.  

McCoy de Leon and Elisse Joson’s sweet text messages got exposed!

Before putting their romantic affair under wraps, McCoy and Elisse used to be open about their relationship in their younger years. During their appearance together on GGV in 2016, they allowed us to have a glimpse of their sweet exchanges and playful bardagulan via text messages as screenshots of those were flashed onscreen and read by Vice. This was after the host wished to confirm if the rumor about McCoy being brave only through texts but not in real life was true. 

McLisse couldn’t help but feel shy to hear their cute conversation be read aloud and be seen by many people. While their exchanges didn’t really prove the claim against McCoy, they indeed attested to how they’re like other couples who are fond of poking fun at each other. 

John Prats narrated how he began pursuing Isabel Oli

After going through several heartbreaks in the past, John and Isabel have finally found forever love in each other. But not a lot of people probably know that it actually took them quite some time before they became a couple.

At first, John took courting Isabel slowly as per the advice of his sister, Camille. But upon learning that she was already going on dates with a non-showbiz guy at the time, he finally decided to jump the gun and started to make efforts in winning Isabel’s heart. With the help and moral support of his close friend-slash-dependable wingman, Sam Milby, John succeeded in impressing her by taking the time (and the mile) to visit her on the set of a project she was doing at the time and by showing off his musical skills at the party of their common friend.

Ion Perez’s shocking confession about Vice Ganda

Just in time for Vice’s birthday in 2019, the GGV staff, with the help of celebrity guests Bea Alonzo and Charo Santos, prepared an “eerie” surprise for her. Clad in creepy nun costumes, Ate Girl Jackie Gonzaga and Kuya Escort Ion Perez appeared on the show, much to the delight of everyone, especially the host. 

Since that was a rare moment, Bea and Charo didn’t pass up the opportunity to at least get a hint on the real score between then-rumored couple Vice and Ion. And we’re apparently able to get an answer when Ion said, “Ako po, kinakatakutan ko na matapos kung anong meron kami,” when asked by Bea what frightens him the most at the time. That made the Unkabogable Star speechless and obviously kilig, especially when Ion proudly declared, “Special po siya sa akin.”

Vice tried to downplay it by saying that they were just joking, but everyone in the studio wasn’t buying it as they witnessed how sweet they were with one another.
