Toni Gonzaga was delighted after English singer-songwriter Sam Smith complimented a video of her family dancing to the latter’s song with Naughty Boy, “La La La.”

Smith, who identifies as non-binary and has adopted the pronouns they/them, noticed and left a comment on Toni’s TikTok video shared on her page.

In the clip, Toni was dancing and lipsyncing with her husband Paul Soriano, their children Seve and Polly, alongside her sister Alex Gonzaga and her husband Mikee Morada, and the sisters’ parents Pinty and Bonoy Gonzaga.

“TikTok before family dinner,” Toni captioned her post.
