UNBELIEVABLE! 😱 How Joey de Leon Secretly Sparked the Romance Between Vico Sotto and Atasha Muhlach on Eat Bulaga — You Won’t Believe What Happened Behind the Scenes!

In a twist no one saw coming, veteran host Joey de Leon may have played a surprising role in the most talked-about secret romance in showbiz today — the alleged budding relationship between Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto and Atasha Muhlach, daughter of Aga Muhlach and Charlene Gonzalez.

The internet exploded after a viral clip from Eat Bulaga! hinted at some behind-the-scenes chemistry between the two, with none other than Joey de Leon reportedly “orchestrating” the moment.

💥 Sparks Flew on Set?

Sources close to the production claim that it all started during a lighthearted segment when Atasha appeared as a guest co-host. Mayor Vico, known for keeping a low profile when it comes to love life, made a surprise virtual appearance to promote a public awareness campaign.

What happened next had the audience — and allegedly the staff — buzzing.

“Joey jokingly teased Vico about being single for too long,” a source revealed. “Then he suddenly called out Atasha and said, ‘O, bagay kayo ah!’ That moment changed everything.”

🧐 Behind-the-Scenes Flirting?

While no one expected it to be more than a joke, multiple insiders have since claimed that Vico and Atasha stayed in touch after the show. One staff member reported seeing the two exchanging numbers backstage, with Joey chuckling in the background.

“Parang matchmaker si Joey,” one insider said. “Nagulat kami na seryoso pala ang birong iyon.”

Rumors began circulating that the two were spotted having coffee together in a discreet café in Ortigas, fueling more speculation that Joey’s teasing may have lit a real spark.

😲 Vico Sotto’s First Public Link to a Celebrity?

The elusive and introverted mayor has never publicly dated anyone in showbiz — until now. With Atasha known for her grace, intelligence, and showbiz pedigree, fans are already calling them a “power couple in the making.”

Though neither party has confirmed the rumors, netizens were quick to create memes and fan edits calling them “Vikasha”, declaring Joey de Leon the “unexpected matchmaker of the year.”

❤️ What Does Joey de Leon Say?

In a cryptic tweet following the uproar, Joey posted:

“Pag love team, kailangan may script. Pero kapag totoo… aba, walang rehearsal!”

While not a direct confirmation, many believe this is Joey’s way of giving his blessing — or perhaps his signature mischief at play.

🔍 What’s Next?

Both Vico and Atasha have remained silent about the issue, but their fans are watching closely. With Atasha slowly entering the entertainment scene and Vico’s popularity soaring, this could become one of the most watched low-key romances in local showbiz.

Until either of them speaks up, one thing is clear: Joey de Leon has once again proven he’s more than just a comedian — he might just be the country’s most unexpected cupid.
