Kimerald is Back!

Kimerald is the tandem composed of Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson. Did you know that the two were discovered in the Filipino version of Big Brother for Teens; Pinoy Big Brother-teen edition in 2006. This was ten years ago where 16 year old Kim Chiu won while 17 year old Gerald Anderson took third place.


The two went on to become one of the biggest names in Filipino showbiz, top billing telesyres and movies. Even Kenyans were given the opportunity to watch some of  Kimerald's shows like Chances (Sana Maulit Muli) and The Two of Us (Tayong Dalawa).
 The couple who dated in real life were however plagued with scandal in 2010 and they eventually had to break up amid cheating rumours. The Last time they worked together was in 2012 on the star studded movie 24/7 in love and have not had a project together since.
After a four year hiatus, the tandem had been rumored to have a project together with Kim said to replace Gerald's co-star Yen Santos on Because of You but Kim came out and said that there was no such thing.

A few weeks ago however, Kim and Gerald were revealed to have a new telesyrye in the works, titled "Ikaw Lang Ang Libigin" for Dreamscape entertainment, Among their co-stars will be Jake Cuenca, Coleen Garcia, Bing Loyzaga, Helen Gamboa among others and directed by Dan Villegas.

The news was met with jubilation among Kimerald fans who have stuck it out for years and now have something to smile about. Even Kenyan fans were not left behind in this as they expressed their joy in having Kim and Gerald back together for a project that we hope will be available for the Kenyan audience as well. One Maria Odaah was a bit too passionate with this issue as she commented;

 Kim chiu can act with whoever she wants,business is business.Its not a bad thing and in my opinion should not hurt or offend anyone. I would also like to see liza and enrique do projects with different people and not be each others love interest in the projects all the time. To see them act in different/seperate projects will be a good thing for a change.

Here are more comments;

  Emmy Nikima; Finally they are back, my all time favorite tandem since day one. I can't wait

Diana Jerope; I loved Kimerald from Tayong Dalawa they make a good team...

Naka Mary;  I've always been a kimerald fan I'm so very excited about it

Most KimXi fans are not keen on this project so where do you fall in and what do you think about this Kimerald reunion?
