One sweet moment actually came before the Star Magic Ball, as Xian Lim asked rumored girlfriend and loveteam partner Kim Chiu to be his date in an unconventional way.

Though they did not talk vocally about the status of their relationship, it was still a treat to see the megawatt pairing posing comfortably together on the red carpet, no doubt resulting kilig (giddy) moments for legions of KimXi (Kim-Xian) fans. 

Last but not the least, couple of the night John Lloyd Cruz and Angelica Panganiban were not only sweet with one another, they even had time to joke around with some of their colleagues.

On the red carpet, the two held hands and even bantered with Maricar Reyes and Richard Poon. At this point, the two megastars are veterans at these types of events, and they were very much able to relax and party. No wonder they took home the Couple of the Night award!
