lDub fans couldn’t hide their ‘kilig’ after Alden Richards admitted that he indeed fell in love with his former love team Maine Mendoza during the peak of the AlDub fever.
In an interview with Boy Abunda, Alden said that he would call himself a ‘hypocrite’ if he would deny not having feelings for Maine.
However, Alden clarified that he never attempted to court Maine because he didn’t confess it.
“Hypocrite po ako kung hindi. Ayoko pong sabihing alam niya but I did confess,” said Alden.
Alden’s statement received mixed reactions from the netizens; some criticized the actor for the timing of his revelation, saying that Maine was already married to Arjo Atayde.
Some of them even said that Alden was only using Maine to promote his movie.
“Alden Richards using Maine Mendoza since he has a new movie. Old tricks para panuorin ang flop nyang movie…leave maine alone alden,” said netizen Rafael.

They said that Alden’s statement is not helping Maine to address the ‘delulu’ AlDub fans.
“What’s more annoying kasi si maine ilang beses na syang nag-speak up para lang matuldukan yung delusions ng fans. sya pa nga ginagawang masama dahil marunong mag-callout. pero si alden, nakikita pang pumupunta sa event ng kulto & continuously feeding their delusions,” said netizen Jochendria.
