Josh Ford calls Kira Balinger his ‘safe space’

For Josh Ford, Kira Balinger is his safe space.

In a clip posted by GMA Network on TikTok, the former “Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition” housemate talked about his bond with Kira while inside Bahay ni Kuya.

“Na-surprise ako paglabas ang daming tumatawag sa akin na teddy bear. ‘Yun daw po ‘yung tawag [ni Kira] sa akin,” Josh shared.

As Kira referred to him as a teddy bear, Josh said he considers the Kapamilya star his space in the PBB house.

“Sa loob kasi ng bahay, parang nahirapan akong maging komportable sa ibang tao. Until naging close kami ni Kira and parang I felt very comfortable kaya natawag ko siyang safe space nung night out namin ng mga boys,” he added.

In a separate clip, Josh gave a short message to Kira, saying, “Kira, miss na kita.”

Josh and Kira have become close friends during their stint as housemates in "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition."

They are each other's first duo, and their duo name, KiSh, is also being used by their fans as their ship name.

Josh was evicted from the PBB house on May 10. He exited Bahay ni Kuya along with his duo Ralph De Leon, who has since returned inside after winning one of the two wildcard slots.

After returning to the outside world, Josh created an X (formerly Twitter) account, with Kira welcoming him to the platform.
