Even Jillian Ward's family is supportive of Eman Bacosa Pacquiao!

On Wednesday’s episode of “Unang Hirit,” the boxer and Sparkle artist recalled how “Jill” and her parents came over to Bohol to express their support for his boxing match earlier in March.

He also shared how his and Jillian’s family went to dinner after his match, where they had the chance to bond.

“Nag dinner po kami, long talk, at saka [we] got to know each other,” he said.

Eman admitted that he’s still shy and nervous around Jillian, but said they’re on good terms.

“Close na po kami,” he said.

Eman has begun shooting for his acting debut in “Never Say Die,” alongside Jillian, David Licauco, Raheel Bhyria, and Kim Ji Soo.

He signed with Sparkle GMA Artist Center in November 2025. —Hermes Joy Tunac/JCB, GMA Integrated News
