He temporarily stopped studying after entering Philippines show-business.

tar Circle Quest

Joross Gamboa gained his popularity when he first appeared in the first season of ABS-CBN's "Star Circle Quest". Throughout the competition, he always stood out due to his comedic antics and laid back pretty boy attitude. He was hailed by Lauren Dyogi, one of the judges, as the next leading man.

He was paired up with fellow Star Circle Teen Questor Roxanne Guinoo and their pair was dubbed "JoRox" (a combination of their names). Joross Gamboa successfully entered the final 5 or "Fab 5" of "SCQ".

After Star Circle Quest

Soon after "SCQ", different offers started coming. His first project, together with the nine other finalists of "SCQ", was "SCQ Reload", wherein he played Joross Pimentel, a hopeless romantic guy who fell in love with Roxanne in the series.

After SCQ Reload, he was casted in movies like "Can This Be Love" and "D'Anothers". He also gained a large fanbase during his stint as co-host of the ABS-CBN noontime show "MTB: Ang Saya Saya" where he held his own against veteran hosts Edu Manzano, Ai-Ai Delas Alas and Arnel Ignacio. He also starred in the drama series "Gulong ng Palad" opposite Roxanne Guinoo, who is also his co-host in the reality lifestyle show "At Home Ka Dito".

Personal life

Joross Gamboa's friendliness to several people was most of the time misinterpreted by the press and he was caught up in several controversies but he maintained a positive attitude.

For almost three years of working together, Joross Gamboa and Roxanne Guinoo got very close together which ended up in a romantic relationship. Unfortunately, their relationship ended after more than a year of being together. Both claimed that despite of what had happened, they are happy to remain friends and also happy to work together in the same projects such as "Sineserye Presents: Natutulog Ba Ang Diyos?"

In 2007, Joross met Karysheila Mae, a commercial model in Malaysia, around his subdivision. She later became his girlfriend, but it has been said that they have broken up during a trip Joross took to Malaysia with good friends Angelica Panganiban and Derek Ramsay. He also went back to school and is taking up a Degree in Mass Communications in Southville International School and Colleges.

New career

After four years of being with ABS-CBN Star Magic, Joross Gamboa asked to be released and signed a two-year contract under the management of Becky Aguila. He was seen in the comedy segment "Kaya Mo Ba To?" in 2005 followed by "Maynila" in 2007 of the GMA Metwork, which became the reason for rumors of Joross moving to the said Network. After signing a contract with Becky Aguila, he will stay with ABS-CBN as his new talent manager still has issues with GMA Network. Joross will now join Angel Locsin, Jennylyn Mercado, and Valerie Concepcion under the stable of Ms. Aguila.
