In an interview on Showtime Online U on Tuesday, Smith appeared alongside her on-screen partner JM Ibarra and shared her well-wishes for the winning duo.
'To BreKa, congratulations! We're all purple, so Team Purple really won. Congratulations, and I hope to see you both soon,' she said.
Last Saturday, Manalo and Salamanca—collectively known as 'BreKa'—made history as the first-ever duo to win the PBB Celebrity Collab Edition, the groundbreaking partnership between ABS-CBN and GMA. The pair earned the top spot with 33.03% of the total combined votes.
On Monday, the duo also appeared on Showtime Online U, where they reflected on their historic win, the purpose behind their journey, and the pressure of making history.
Before sending her message to BreKa, Smith and Ibarra also teased their upcoming series, Ghosting, which is set to stream this July exclusively on iWant.
In the show, Smith portrays Jaja, a woman who is consistently 'ghosted' by the people she loves.
'I always get ghosted by the people I love. Whoever I fall for ends up abandoning me,' she shared.
Ibarra plays Wilberto, a literal ghost.

Yen Santos denies rumors of having a child with Chavit Singson
Actress Yen Santos has denied long-standing rumors claiming she has a child with former Ilocos Sur Governor Luis 'Chavit' Singson. In a recent vlog titled 'Questions I Am Desperate to Answer' on her new YouTube channel, the 32-year-old actress addressed the speculation directly when asked about a false rumor about her. ''Yung tsismis na meron raw po kaming anak ni Manong Chavit,' Santos said. 'Guys, hindi namin 'yun anak, kapatid ko po 'yun. He's my youngest brother. Tatlo kaming magkakapatid.' Santos clarified that the boy, often mistaken online as her child with Singson, is in fact her 11-year-old sibling. She explained that Singson is a long-time family friend and the godfather of her younger brother. Santos also shared how the rumor has hurt her and her family, especially during the early years of her career. 'Noong una, hurt na hurt ako, na parang nadadamay 'yung bata doon sa issue na hindi naman talaga totoo,' she said. Despite the issue, Santos remains open to inviting Singson on her YouTube channel to personally address and clarify the matter. Santos began her career as a housemate in Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Clash 2010 and later rose to fame through the ABS-CBN drama series Pure Love. In 2022, she earned critical acclaim for her performance in A Faraway Land, for which she won Best Actress at the Gawad Urian Awards.
