Our JMFyang hearts were so full. JM Ibarra and Fyang Smith gave us a lot to squeal about, and maybe 'research' too, after their candid chat with Vice Ganda on "Gandang Gabi Vice" last Sunday, September 20.
And because we can't get enough of our favorite 'eabab' and 'ekalal,' we’re zooming in on the smiles, the reactions and all the kilig-worthy moments from their guesting via this gallery of photos.
First up, the loveteam took a little trip down memory lane and looked back on their “Pinoy Big Brother” days. As the candid conversation got going, JM and Fyang revisited their “PBB Gen 11” era in 2024, which Fyang described as truly special because not everyone gets the chance to live inside Bahay Ni Kuya. She may have a few regrets about her journey as a whole, but she's happy and grateful, especially for the opportunities that poured in after the Big Night.
JMFyang also shut down the assumption that “PBB” is scripted. Sure, the episodes may be edited for television, but the moments inside the house are real. And one thing that definitely wasn’t scripted was the closeness that grew between them.
In the middle of all the teasing, Vice noticed that the usually garrulous Fyang was extra careful when talking about JM. Then JM told Fyang, “Masaya na tayo, eh,” which was all Vice needed to hear before asking the million-dollar question, “Mag-jowa na ba kayo?”

Fyang answered, “Hindi pa. Hindi namin minamadali. Kasi kung pupunta man kami doon, gusto namin i-enjoy muna ’yung journey namin nang magkasama.” JM, meanwhile, kept things direct but sincere, saying that while he and Fyang aren’t officially together, “basta gusto ko siya.”
We also learned that gift-giving is Fyang’s love language, while JM’s is basically everything except words of affirmation. According to Fyang, he's more into 'lambing' and hugs, which prompted Vice to ask whether JM likes kissing Fyang, too. Fyang said they haven’t reached that point yet, but Meme Vice was not buying it, joking, “Mamatay na sinungaling?!” The two just laughed and played along.
At one point in the interview, Fyang was challenged to react to some of the nastiest comments from netizens, first as the calmer, more composed version of herself, and then as the real, unfiltered Fyang we all know.

If their earlier questions brought the kilig, the “Deep Truth” segment brought the tea. The Kapamilya pair read statements that Vice Ganda and the Geng Gang would confirm as either “trot” or “charot."
