Darren Espanto was asked about Jillian Ward

Kapamilya singer Darren Espanto has this reaction when asked about being linked to Kapuso actress Jillian Ward.

Darren recently guested on the Kapuso talk show Fast Talk. During the interview, he was asked by King of Talk Boy Abunda about his connection to certain female personalities. The Kapamilya singer revealed his past relationships with Kapuso actress Kyline Alcantara and singer Jayda Avanzado.

He also clarified the issue that surfaced after his viral interview in which he clarified the real score between him and Kapuso actress Cassy Legaspi.

During the same interview, Darren Espanto was also asked about the “shipping” that fans are doing to him and Jillian Ward.

The About Kamay Ang Pangarap actress guested on the Kapamilya noontime show It’s Showtime in which Darren is one of the hosts. Tito Boy directly asked his guest, “May gusto ka ba kay Jillian Ward? Nagkakaligawan na ba?”

The Kapamilya singer said that he and Jillian were both surprised by this because they did not expect it.

“After that episode, I was surprised kasi siya pa unang nag-follow sa akin [sa Instagram], so I followed her back and then we started talking,” he shared. Darren also shared that before they parted ways, they talked and they agreed to have a collaboration project someday.

He said that there was a time when he and Jillian were together at an event and he learned that the actress could also sing. “She asked if one day puwede akong mag-guest sa parang YouTube channel niya,” he shared.

However, Darren stressed that right now, he and Jilliand are “Friends lang.” “Getting to know each other kasi siyempre this is the first time we ever met po, sa launch ng GMA. Malay natin, makapag-prod po kami sa Showtime,” Darren Espanto added.

Based on the article in PEP, this brought confusion to the people because Darren said that he and Jillian first met at a corporate event but initially, he said that they first saw each other when Showtime was launched on GMA.
