The Philippine entertainment scene is buzzing with a familiar yet refreshing kind of "kilig" as childhood co-stars Ryzza Mae Dizon and Bimby Aquino-Yap reunite on the stage of the longest-running noontime show, Eat Bulaga!

Thirteen years after their unforgettable team-up in the 2013 Metro Manila Film Festival hit My Little Bossings, the two have grown from adorable child stars into confident young adults. Their reunion, which began with a surprise appearance during Ryzza Mae’s 21st birthday celebration on June 12, 2026, has captured the hearts of fans across generations.

A Friendship Rekindled

The chemistry between the two—now fondly dubbed by fans as "MaeBy"—is being celebrated for its authenticity. Viewers are charmed by their playful banter, sweet gestures, and the way they seem to naturally gravitate toward each other on camera.

During his surprise guesting, Bimby serenaded Ryzza Mae with "Maybe This Time" and touched the hearts of the audience by gifting her a necklace, marking a sweet highlight in their rekindled friendship. Bimby fondly recalled their early days together, noting, "Sana maibalik natin ang dati. Our friendship dati. Kasi, di ba, we lost contact?"
