Crawford, meanwhile, joined the show in 2011, and went on hiatus leading up to his April 2018 wedding with Garcia. He has yet to return as a regular on “It’s Showtime,” but remained visible on TV as the host of the second edition of “Your Face Sounds Familiar Kids.”

While he hasn’t resumed hosting duties on “It’s Showtime,” Crawford was most recently seen on the program in July, when he visited the live studio. At the time, Vice Ganda revealed that Crawford was busy working on an album. Neither specified when he would return as a mainstay, if at all.

"We didn't know who my partner would be. And thankfully, it was Miah (Jeremiah’s nickname). Since nagka-work na kami, medyo mas madali na lang to work with, comfy na rin kami sa isa't isa. So parang yung naging dynamics namin is supportahan, if kailangan mo ng help, nandito ako, and vice versa,” she explained.

"Parang hanggang ngayon naman nasa process of learning pa rin ako. Hindi pa rin ako yung nakakampante. Nagugulat pa rin ako sa mga nangyayari, sa mga bagong mga aktor. Kasi lahat naman iba-iba ng personality, iba-iba ng atake sa pag-arte, sa craft, ng dedication, pagmamahal, iba-iba din. So, yung pakikisama ko, nagba-vary rin siya kung paano mo ako pakikitunguhan. Kung mabait ka naman sa akin, ako naman, wala naman akong any bad blood kahit kanino. So, I'm just here to always support, love, be happy, ganyan," she shared.
