What would you do if you crossed paths with your ex-boyfriend and his wife? For Karylle Padilla, she kept it cool, casual and polite.

While taking on her judging duties for the “Tawag ng Tanghalan” segment in the noontime variety show “It’s Showtime” yesterday, her friend and co-host Vice Ganda did all the spilling for her, telling the audience about Padilla’s supposed encounter with the couple.

It all started as Vice Ganda, a contestant and another host Jhong Hilario had a conversation about heartbreak. The contestant revealed that his ex-girlfriend recently got married; this instantly became the topic of the trio’s conversation.

Hilario asked Vice Ganda what he would do if he were in the same situation: would he be willing to sing at his ex’s wedding? The comedian answered, “Parang hindi ko pa rin kaya eh. Kung kakanta man ako doon, mabu-bwisit ako dun.” (I think I still could not handle it. If I would sing at their wedding, it will just annoy me.)

Next, Hilario asked if Vice Ganda would be happy anyway, especially if he already found a partner too. This was when Vice Ganda turned to Padilla, “‘Di ko kaya eh. Tanungin natin si Karylle kasi nagkita sila ni Dingdong [Dantes] nung isang araw eh.” (I can’t. Let’s just ask Karylle because she saw Dingdong days ago.)

Vice revealed that Padilla encountered her ex-boyfriend and his wife, Marian Rivera, at a “show.” The comedian said Padilla was so moved by Rivera’s beauty.

“Nakasalubong niya si Marian. Gandang-ganda daw siya kay Marian. Bineso niya [raw] tapos pag-beso niya sabi nya, ‘Uy, ang ganda naman!‘” Vice Ganda shared. (She came across Marian. She found her so beautiful. She greeted her, then told her, [‘You’re] such a beauty!)

“Tapos pagtalikod niya, na-realize niya na ang payapa na daw talaga ng puso nila, kasi nag-beso sila tapos gandang-ganda daw siya kay Marian,” he added. (Then when she turned her back, she realized that their hearts were already indeed at peace, because they greeted each other and she was so enamored by Marian’s beauty.)

But the comedian just could not keep himself from being naughty as he then said, “Bineso niya si Marian pero hindi niya na-kwento kung bineso niya si Dingdong!” (She greeted Marian but she never told me if she greeted Dingdong.)

Padilla answered, saying he greeted Dantes by saying, “Hi!”

Before Dantes and Rivera became the Kapuso Primetime King and Queen, an onscreen team-up that eventually led to romance and marriage, he was with Padilla for three years. They broke up in 2008.

Padilla is now married to Spongecola frontman Yael Yuzon. Katrina Hallare/JB
