Netizens did not take it kindly when Alex Gonzaga took to Twitter last Thursday, May 27, to express excitement towards American pop star Ariana Grande tying the knot with real estate agent Dalton Gomez.

The actress-host placed her wedding photo with husband Mikee Morada side-by-side with Grande’s, saying they got married “the same way.”

It could be recalled that the “thank u, next” singer married Gomez in an intimate ceremony in her Montecito home, which was announced by her representative through TMZ on May 17.

Likewise, Gonzaga and Morada held an intimate wedding of their own in November 2020, in the former’s family home in Taytay, Rizal. Gonzaga revealed this in her vlog last January.

“When your lodi marries the same way as you… AG from the east and west ftw! mars it’s a tie!! (emoji),” she said, before tagging Grande’s official Twitter account.

Some netizens did not take her tweet lightly, with one asking what is the connection between her wedding and Grande’s.

“Intimate wedding at home. Gets?” Gonzaga replied back.

Gonzaga also did not hold back when another netizen called her out for making Grande’s wedding all about her

This came after a fan defended Alex, saying she has the right to tweet about what she wants on her Twitter account.

“Kasal ng iba, ginawa [niyang] tungkol sa sarili [niya]? Anong ‘di mo maintindihan [doon]?” one @zsorryy answered back to the fan. (It’s somebody else’s wedding and she made it about herself? What can’t you understand there?)

“Can’t she let Ari have her own spotlight without including herself in the picture? The universe doesn’t revolve around one person?” the netizen added

Gonzaga then replied sarcastically: “Nakakatawa ka naman. Tingin mo with this tweet [naagaw] ko spotlight kay ARIANA!?? Seryoso ka? Hahahah. Nakausap ko si Ariana ok naman at happy and busy siya sa married life. (emoji) ‘Di naman [niya] ininda tong tweet ko [because] this is just me fangirling. Sorry ah tropa mo ata si ariana.”

(You’re so funny. You think with this tweet, I stole the spotlight from Ariana!? Are you serious? [Laughs] I talked to Ariana. She’s okay and happy and busy with her married life. She did not get affected by my tweet because this is just me fangirling. Sorry, you and Ariana are probably friends.)

Nakakatawa ka naman. Tingin mo with this tweet na-agaw ko spotlight kay ARIANA!?? Seryoso ka? Hahahah Nakausap ko si Ariana ok naman at happy and busy siya sa married life. 😂 Di naman nya ininda tong tweet ko ‘coz this is just me fangirling. Sorry ah tropa mo ata si ariana. ✌🏼 https://t.co/w4Nx6Yvdgj
