Kris Aquino Returns to TV With Boy Abunda After 11 Years
Kris Aquino will sit down with Boy Abunda on television for the first time in 11 years. Boy confirmed the news on the October 21 episode of Fast Talk with Boy Abunda, GMA’s weekday afternoon talk show. The interview is pre-taped and runs in two parts.
“Kris and I are definitely back,” Boy said.
A birthday week with a guest list
The interview sits inside Boy’s week-long birthday celebration on the show, which runs October 26 to 30. His birthday is October 29. The week includes five special episodes, and other guests named so far include Alice Dixson, Andrea Brillantes and Ruffa Gutierrez. One report lists the two Kris episodes for October 28 and 29.
Fast Talk airs Monday to Friday, 4:05 to 4:30 p.m.
Only with him
Kris reportedly told Boy that if she ever returned to television, it would be with him. Before the announcement, GMA had teased the return of a “King and Queen.” Viewers noticed the word BACK in the teaser had its B and K highlighted, and guessed the rest.
What they talked about
At a Q&A on October 20, Boy said the two had a “spirited conversation” lasting two hours. The special covers her health, her resolve to live, her return to work, her love life and her political views. Her sons, Bimby and Joshua, come up as the people who give her strength through her autoimmune conditions. Bimby also joins part of the conversation, according to one report.
Boy described the Kris viewers will see as lively and candid. He also said they talked about what else they could do together.
On her health, Kris has said it is improving. Boy said she now alternates work days with rest days.
How they got here
Their ABS-CBN show Boy & Kris premiered in 2007. They went on to SNN: Showbiz News Ngayon and later Aquino & Abunda Tonight, which ran from 2014 to 2015. Boy returned to GMA in December 2022 and has hosted Fast Talk since 2023.
In February 2026, Boy visited Kris on her 55th birthday. He said afterward that he hoped to work with her again, whether on a talk show, a podcast or an online series. He said the format was secondary.
