Newly-crowned ‘Pinoy Big Brother Gen 11’ Big Winner Sophia “Fyang” Smith isn’t the only one stealing hearts.

Her father, an American citizen, became an instant online sensation after his appearance at the Big Night last Saturday, October 26.

When Fyang took the stage to celebrate her win, netizens were quick to notice her dad’s presence. Photos of Joshua Smith immediately circulated on social media, sparking playful admiration and swooning remarks from fans.

Fans flooded social media with comments admiring his looks and charm, with posts ranging from “You can keep the ₱1M, Fyang, I’ll take your dad!” to “He looks straight out of a romance novel.” Some fans even joked that his appearance added an “expensive” flair to the show’s finale.

While Fyang has yet to respond to the online buzz surrounding her father’s surprise popularity, it’s clear that her Big Night brought double the celebration for fans of the show.
