She went on to pen her wish for her fellow “It’s Showtime” host: “Wishing you all the best in life! Stay amazing!!!! As ALWAYS!!!”

“Ang laki na ng itinanda mo bestie!!! Matulog ka kasi! Diko sure kung mukha kang matanda or mukha akong bata!!! Char!!!!” Kim jokingly wrote in the on-screen caption.

It is worth noting that on his birthday, Darren treated his followers to a stunning birthday post. Darren shared a set of photos captured during his birthday shoot with photographer Gee Plamenco.

As seen in the pictures, Darren struck some cool poses while donning a stylish ensemble.

“24 on the 24th!” the singer-actor wrote in the caption.

Darren Espanto, born on May 24, 2001 as Darren Lyndon Gonzales Espanto, is a Filipino-Canadian singer and actor well-known for his cover songs such as "Dying Inside To Hold You", originally sung by Timmy Thomas. He first joined a competition at the age of ten, where he won the Masters Finals of the Pinoy Singing Sensation competition in Edmonton.

Darren Espanto hit back at a netizen who wrote a negative remark on his recent performance. Along with Kyle Echarri and Iñigo Pascual, Darren performed BTS J-Hope’s “Mona Lisa” on ASAP Natin 'To. However, the netizen commented that “people who can’t sing” need to stop covering the said song. The comment then caught Darren’s attention, prompting him to pen a frank response. He also put links directing to videos of himself doing his commendable renditions of “This Is Me,” “Con Te Partirò,” “Phantom of the Opera,” “Chandelier,” and “Bibitaw Na.”

As previously reported by KAMI, Darren and JK Labajo’s supposed interaction made the rounds all over social media. On April 5, Karen Davila shared a carousel post containing several photos from the ABS-CBN Ball 2025, which took place on Friday, April 4 at the Solaire Resort North in Quezon City. However, one of the photos she shared caught the attention of eagle-eyed netizens, who noticed the two singers purportedly interacting. This prompted the netizens to question whether Darren and JK have already reconciled.
