In the midst of the much-anticipated guesting of Kapuso Primetime King and Queen, Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes, on the noontime show ‘It’s Showtime,’ the absence of host Karylle caught the attention of netizens.
The absence stirred up discussions, as Karylle is the ex-girlfriend of Dingdong Dantes. Their past relationship became controversial due to Dingdong’s subsequent relationship with Marian Rivera, who is now his wife.
The absence of Karylle during the guesting raised eyebrows, especially since the fans were eager to witness a possible encounter between the three personalities. Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes were promoting their latest film, ‘Rewind,’ under Star Cinema.
Karylle had previously announced her temporary break from work on December 13 due to not feeling well. In an Instagram post, she mentioned waking up sick and needing time to recuperate.
“I woke up sick so I’ll be missing work for a couple of days! Stay healthy, everyone,” Karylle shared in her post.
