Maine Mendoza has hinted that she and husband Arjo Atayde might soon welcome their first child, sharing the exciting news during her 29th birthday celebration. The beloved “Eat Bulaga” host responded to a playful nudge from her father-in-law, Art Atayde, who, in a video message aired on the noontime show, teased her about the anticipation of a grandchild.
Art Atayde’s birthday message to Mendoza was filled with warmth and jest. He praised the TV host for her kindness and beauty before humorously inquiring about when the couple plans to have a baby, jokingly suggesting they might be too occupied with shopping to start a family. Despite his teasing, Art assured Mendoza of his love and support, wishing her all the best on her special day.
Mendoza, with her characteristic good humor, replied to the inquiry about the much-awaited baby by saying, “Bossing, coming soon. ‘Pag binigay po ni Lord.” (When God blesses us with it), indicating that they are indeed looking forward to starting a family in God’s timing.
In addition to her father-in-law’s message, Mendoza expressed her gratitude towards her husband, parents, mother-in-law Sylvia Sanchez, sister-in-law Ria Atayde, and friends Maja Salvador, MJ Lastimosa, and Ciara Sotto for their heartfelt birthday greetings.
Maine Mendoza and Arjo Atayde’s relationship has been a subject of widespread admiration since they met in 2018. The couple solidified their bond by tying the knot in a private ceremony in Baguio City in July 2023. As they prepare for this new chapter in their lives, fans and loved ones eagerly await the arrival of their bundle of joy, hopeful for the joy and happiness this new addition will bring to the Atayde-Mendoza family.
