It finally happened.
Eman Bacosa Pacquiao—the rising young boxer with a soft spot for one particular star—finally met his celebrity crush, Jillian Ward.
The moment took place Monday night at the black carpet premiere of KMJS’ “Gabi ng Lagim: The Movie.”
Eman arrived looking excited, almost nervous… and then the magic moment came.
He walked up to Jillian.
They shook hands.
They exchanged smiles.
And yes—Eman got to hug her not just once, but several times, each one filled with pure kilig.
He also congratulated her for her newest film, clearly proud and in awe of her success.
This meeting didn’t come out of nowhere.
Just recently, Eman openly admitted on Fast Talk With Boy Abunda that he had a crush on Jillian.
Not long after, Jillian shared in an interview that they had already followed each other on Instagram — sending fans into full excitement.
Even before the premiere, Eman showed his support by posting a video inviting people to watch “Gabi ng Lagim: The Movie.”
And on Monday morning, Jillian said on Unang Hirit that she hoped they could meet soon.
Hours later… her wish came true.
Jillian stars in the film alongside Sanya Lopez, Miguel Tanfelix, Elijah Canlas, and other big names.
She is also gearing up for her upcoming series, “Never Say Die,” with David Licauco, Kim Ji Soo, and Raheel Bhyria.
As for Eman, big things are happening for him too—he recently signed a new contract with Sparkle, marking the start of an exciting career ahead.
Two rising stars.
One unforgettable meeting.
And a moment fans can’t stop talking about.
