Josh Ford, Kira Balinger react to 'healthiest ship' comment from PBB fans

The pair of Josh Ford and Kira Balinger is one of the fan ships formed in the "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition."

Dubbed KiSh after their duo name, Josh and Kira were actually the OG love team of the season. Their closeness developed early on inside Bahay ni Kuya, as they were each other's first duo.

Several fans have also called them the "healthiest ship" that came out of the PBB collab, as their fans rarely get involved in shipping wars and their bond has been true inside and outside PBB.

"Thank you for all of those kind words sa mga nagsasabi ng ganun, we're really just chill. I'm just really happy na sobrang tibay ng friendship namin," Kira told GMA News Online on the sidelines of the GMA Gala 2025.

"We're just having fun as it goes, just going with the flow, positive lang, no bad vibes," Josh added.

The Kapamilya actress also jokingly called the Kapuso actor the "Great Wall of Josh" when told about fans noticing his "bakod" skills when it comes to Kira.

"Hindi ko nga rin po napapansin pero sa mga edit na nakikita ko bumabakod pala ko," Josh said.

While Josh is not being shipped to another housemate, some fans are shipping Kira to Emilio Daez and even Will Ashley.

Asked for their reaction, Josh and Kira said it's totally fine. 

"Of course it's ok naman, we love the fans, we love the fandoms, and I'm sure hindi lang naman sila 'yung sinusuportahan nila, pati na rin kaming lahat," Josh said.

"Happy shipping," Kira added.

Josh and Kira also said they are manifesting for a KiSh project.

"I really do hope na mangyari 'yun. Kahit magkaiba kami ng network, I'm sure the collab—colLOVE—will happen.

Together with their fellow housemates, Josh and Kira will entertain fans in The Big ColLOVE fan con at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on Sunday.

Tickets for the event are already sold out, but fans can still avail of livestream access.
