Jillian Ward poses with Xyriel Manabat at GMA's 75th anniversary celebration

Jillian Ward reunited and posed for a photo with Xyriel Manabat during GMA's 75th anniversary celebration on Sunday night.

On Instagram, GMA Network shared a photo of the two former child stars at the event, as well as a photo of them inside a movie theater taken in their younger days. 

“Once little stars, now shining even brighter!” the caption read. "These two ladies didn't just grow up—they glowed up!"

In a separate Instagram Story, Jillian also shared her photo with Xyriel from the celebration and wrote “Trudis x Momay” as the caption, a reference to the iconic characters they played back in the day.

Jillian was widely known for playing the titular role in "Trudis Liit," while Xyriel portrayed the lead character in "Momay."

In another Instagram Story, the Sparkle star shared a photo with Xyriel and the latter's former “Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition” housemates Ashley Ortega, Michael Sager, Vince Maristela, and AC Bonifacio. 

“With the housemates. I’m a secret enjoyer of PBB haha,” Jillian wrote. 

Xyriel and her fellow Kapamilya star AC were among those who attended GMA's 75th anniversary celebration, where they reunited with their fellow ex-housemates
