Millions of “AlDub” fans rejoiced festively on social media after Maine Mendoza answered Alden Richards with a sweet and romantic “yes.”
During the 59th weeksary of the phenomenal love team on Thursday, Mendoza, 21, finally sealed the deal with her on screen partner in an episode of noontime show “Eat Bulaga.”
During the segment, Richards, 24, felt jealous after Lola Nidora and Tinidora, played by veteran comedians Wally Bayola and Jose Manalo conversed about a certain “M.M.” who he thought was one of Mendoza’s suitors when she visited the United States.
A few possible names that begin with “M.M.” floated into the air, such as former actresses Mokey Manaloto and Maurine Mauricio. A baffled Richards was calmed when Lola Tinidora said that “M.M.” was Mendoza’s cousin.
To the audience’s glee, the actor asked his “Kalyeserye” sweetheart if she loves him back.

Soon, she was infatuated with Richard’s good looks and their “Romeo and Juliet” love story rose to stardom. RAM
