Let’s take a look at the AlDub conspiracy theory circulating online and learn more about Maine and Arjo’s wedding.
What is the AlDub conspiracy theory about?

These fans are simply a little too enthusiastic with the AlDub love team’s on-screen chemistry. Regardless, the theories have begun to spread like wildfire on the internet. Some users have participated, knowing it’s false but adding to a satirical narrative.
I really want to understand the ultimate delusion of some ALDUB fans that Alden and Maine were already married and has kids (3 KIDS!!!) The worst of it all, CLONE daw yung Maine na kinasal kay Arjo like what Cherifer Tangkad Sagad cult is happening? pic.twitter.com/xK7D8T9tWm

People have donned their Sherlock Holmes hats and spotted a lot of intricate details that make an unassumed person believe in the AlDub conspiracy. However, from a fact-checking perspective, Maine Mendoza and Arjo Atayde are legitimately married.
Maine Mendoza’s marriage to Arjo Atayde
Maine Mendoza and her co-star Alden Richards became a Filipino household name thanks to their Kalyeserye segment on the television show Eat Bulaga. Their on-screen chemistry was so good that fans couldn’t help but ship the two, giving rise to the AlDub love team.
However, it’s important to note that Maine and Alden’s romantic relationship was strictly confined to the screen. Both actors have constantly maintained that their connection is purely professional. In real life, Maine Mendoza’s heart found its match in politician Arjo Atayde.
The couple started dating in 2019 and announced their engagement in 2022. On the first year anniversary of their engagement, Maine and Arjo tied the knot in an intimate wedding ceremony on July 28 at the Alphaland Baguio Mountain Lodges Chapel.
The event was confidential, and only close friends and family attended it. There was no media coverage. Despite their need for privacy, the AlDub conspiracy theory emerged out of nowhere as a minor hiccup during their life event.
What did AlDub’s Alden Richards say?
The AlDub love team’s central figure Alden Richards has expressed his happiness for Maine Mendoza and congratulated her on her marriage to Arjo Atayde. He has supported the celebrity couple constantly in his earlier interviews, as well.
Alden Richards has often dismissed wild rumors that he and Maine are secretly married and have children together. He respects their on-screen partnership and draws a line from their personal lives.
Who is Maine’s ‘clone’ Mari Jean Montecillo?
Thanks to her similar appearance to Maine Mendoza, Mari Jean Montecillo’s name was unfortunately dragged into the AlDub conspiracy theory. Fans suggest she acted as a clone to Maine at her own ‘orchestrated’ wedding to hide the ‘truth.’
Mari Jean is a contestant from Super Sireyna 2018. She came forward to debunk these claims and laughed them off as nothing but fake news. She clarified that she had indeed been in a relationship, but it was not with Arjo Atayde, as the theory suggested.
