Six months after Mediacorp dating show Wingman wrapped, Marco Gallo has unfollowed Yuki Chong on Instagram and posted a photo with his ex-girlfriend, Filipino actress Heaven Peralejo, sparking speculation that the showmance is over.
Marco and Yuki got very flirty on Wingman and even said they wanted to see if things could work out after the show ended. By the finale, both had indicated they were keen to explore the romance outside the cameras, and fans of the show shipped the pairing enthusiastically. But six months on, things are looking rather different: Marco has unfollowed Yuki on Instagram, and just this week posted a photo of himself with Heaven, his former flame.
The backstory adds layers to the gossip. Marco and Heaven went public with their relationship in November 2024 before Heaven confirmed their split in July 2025. Their breakup made headlines in the Philippines, though the exes have remained on good terms. Not everyone was sold on the Marco-Yuki pairing, particularly fans of Marco and Heaven, the 26-year-old Filipino actress. “It’s so weird seeing him with someone else,” read one comment on Yuki’s video, while another asked: “Where is Heaven? He should be with Heaven.” One fan went as far as to declare: “Marco is made for Heaven only.”
The recent photo of Marco with Heaven sent those shippers into overdrive, with several declaring it their favourite pic from his post. Have the exes reunited? Neither has said so, and a photo together certainly does not mean they are back together. As for Marco and Yuki, neither has revealed what happened after Wingman, leaving fans to read the tea leaves of unfollows and tagged photos. Perhaps Marco’s earlier “right girl, wrong time” comment was more telling than anyone realised at the time.
Reality dating shows have a notoriously poor track record of producing lasting couples, and Singapore is no exception. The format manufactures intimacy under lights and cameras, and the transition to real life — with its schedules, distance and lack of producers — breaks most showmances within months. Wingman’s Marco-Yuki arc followed the classic script: flirty dates, sweet moments, a finale full of hope, then a quiet digital uncoupling.
The episode also highlights the peculiar dynamics of modern celebrity fandom in Southeast Asia, where Filipino and Singaporean audiences overlap and ship couples across borders. Marco, who has a following in the Philippines through his relationship with Heaven, finds his love life dissected by two countries’ netizens at once. Whether this is a genuine reunion with an ex, a friendly catch-up, or simply a photo that means nothing, the speculation itself has become the story — and for a dating-show alum, staying in the headlines is its own kind of win.
