The numbers don't lie—2025 was the year of duos on Kapamilya Chat! It was definitely double the happiness for all of us this year as tandems took over the online talk show's Top 10 Most Viewed Episodes. Here’s a recap of the 'guestings' that owned our timelines and our hearts, too.
10 - Donny Pangilinan and Belle Mariano
Coming in at 10th place is DonBelle’s episode where they opened up about learning how to surf for their roles in "How To Spot A Red Flag," plus how much they fell in love with the La Union community where the series was filmed. And of course, no DonBelle guesting is complete without a little bit of that signature love wisdom that young fans can always learn from. The beloved pair played a fun game where they shared what they personally consider as red flags in a person.
9 - AZ Martinez and River Joseph
Fans gave AzVer a warm welcome on Kapamilya Chat after their win as the 4th Big Placer Duo on "PBB Collab." AZ and River filled the studio with ‘sibling’ energy, as they shared plenty of 'kulitan' moments and expressed appreciation and support for each other while looking back on their journey in Bahay Ni Kuya. And while we already loved their no-filter answers during the interview, their candid banter during the games made the episode even more fun to watch.
8 - Emilio Daez and Michael Sager
They're a duo, pare—and one of the most genuine we’ve seen. During their Kapamilya Chat episode, Team MiLi of "PBB Collab" opened up about staying positive under pressure, showing respect even in competition, and always choosing kindness.
7 - Kyle Echarri and Kai Montinola
They say experimenting with on-screen pairings is like shooting for the moon—it’s either a hit or a miss. Well, it was definitely a hit for Cebuanos Kyle and Kai, as they already had such strong pull with the public even in their first project together. Proof is, well, they landed 7th place on this list! In their Kapamilya Chat episode, they shared their experience portraying celebrity couple Hajie Alejandro and Lenie Aycardo on "Maalaala Mo Kaya," which was Kai’s very first acting stint, and a lead role at that. That's why her first leading man was so excited for her, and totally impressed with her performance. In turn, Kai was just as thrilled when she found out Kyle would be her partner.
6 - Roja Fan Meet with Donny and Kyle
An exciting milestone this year, Kapamilya Chat welcomed a live audience for the very first time, in a special episode that featured a fan meet and poster reveal for the Kapamilya teleserye "Roja," headlined by Kyle Echarri and Donny Pangilinan. Hosted by Jeremiah and ABS-CBN News reporter MJ Felipe, the event gave fans a double treat—with exclusive interviews, fun games, and a chance to ask Donny and Kyle their most burning questions.
5 - Brent Manalo and Mika Salamanca
It rained purple hearts one afternoon as MikBrent/BreKa graced Kapamilya Chat after their historic win as the first-ever Big Winner Duo of “PBB.” They shared their reactions to the big win, and yes, we got them to spill some exclusive, real stories behind a few of their trending moments inside Bahay Ni Kuya. And because they’re a 'forever duo,' they also served major kilig as a duo while taking on some fun challenges during the episode.
4 - Shuvee Etrata and Klarisse De Guzman
The ShuKla tandem secured the 4th spot on the list. Everyone was in such a good mood thanks to their naturally hilarious banter during their Kapamilya Chat episode after their "PBB Collab" eviction. They shared the story behind the nickname “mowm” for Klarisse, plus Shuvee’s fangirl moment when her ultimate crush, Donny Pangilinan, entered the house as a guest.
3 - JM Ibarra and Fyang Smith
One of our favorite tandems to hang out with on Kapamilya Chat is definitely JMFyang. Whenever they hit a new milestone, they always make time to drop by the studio for some life updates. In this particular episode, which earned the third highest views for 2025, they talked about the huge achievement of performing alongside the biggest Kapamilya stars in a show in Dubai.
2- Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino
At number 2 is KimPau! They revealed their preparations for the film "My Love Will Make You Disappear." Kim revealed that she doesn't eat when getting into character because it’s harder for her to tap into deep emotions when she’s full. Paulo also went through a serious process; he shared that he starts preparing internally hours before the actual take.
1 - Dustin Yu and Bianca De Vera
Cheers to all the DustBia shippers out there—you guys made this happen! Fans truly showed their love for DustBia as they eagerly tuned in to the Kapamilya Chat guesting of the two after their "PBB Collab" stint. Yellow hearts were everywhere when the duo opened up about how their friendship bloomed in the Big Brother house. And through this conversation, we got to see that there’s more to them than just being a 'love team'—they’re both hardworking, determined, and totally deserving of the spotlight. Plus, shippers were treated to a year’s worth of kilig with all the candid DustBia moments during the fun games.
