Actor Arjo Atayde has finally spoken about the real score between him and Maine Mendoza.
Speaking to entertainment reporter MJ Marfori, Atayde was straightforward when he said that he and Mendoza are now exclusively dating.
“We are exclusively dating, and I’m the happiest right now. Further details, I will not say anymore. Hanggang doon na lang po muna,” he said.
Atayde also said that he likes everything about Mendoza and she is the one making him happy right now.
“She makes me laugh all the time,” he said.
Atayde and Mendoza’s relationship did not please some netizens, especially those who are fans of the latter’s on-screen partnership with Alden Richards. However, Atayde also said that he is ready to fight for Mendoza, as well as his family, when bashers would attack them online.
“For me, to insult me is fine. I’m a very passive person. But to insult my family and Maine… sabi ko nga sa social media, I let it go, wala akong kalaban diyan, e. Do it in front of me, I’m sure I’m gonna hit the hell out of you,” he said.
Atayde and Mendoza first met when they worked together for the 2018 Metro Manila Film Festival entry “Jack Em Popoy: The Puliscredibles”.
After the production of the said movie, they have been spotted by fans going on dates several times. Netizens also speculated that they went on their first international trip together back in November 2018 after several photos circulated online suggesting that they were in Indonesia at the same time.
