In a stunning twist at what was meant to be one of the most romantic and joyful events of the year, Jolina Magdangal has found herself at the center of controversy and public backlash after her unexpected behavior during the wedding of celebrity couple Carlo Aquino and Charlie Dizon.

While the newlyweds were basking in love, fans and attendees alike were left stunned—not by the vows, nor the kiss—but by what Jolina allegedly did right in the middle of the celebration.

💥 The Incident That Shocked the Wedding

According to multiple sources and social media videos that have now gone viral, Jolina—who was invited as a guest and reportedly one of the early supporters of Carlo—interrupted a key moment of the wedding reception. Witnesses claim that during the toasts, Jolina stood up without being called, grabbed the microphone, and made a statement that left the room silent.

“I just want to say… this could’ve been a different love story,” Jolina allegedly said, with an emotional and dramatic tone.

The cryptic comment was followed by a strained smile and a hurried sip of wine, but the damage was already done. Guests were reportedly awkwardly shifting in their seats, and even the couple looked visibly uncomfortable, though they tried to remain gracious.

😡 Backlash from Fans and Celebrities

Within minutes of the video hitting TikTok and X (formerly Twitter), netizens erupted in outrage.

“Napaka-insensitive ni Jolina! This is not her moment!” one comment read.

“What she did was so uncalled for. Why make it about you? Carlo and Charlie deserved better,” another added.

Some fans went even further, accusing Jolina of harboring unresolved feelings for Carlo Aquino, with whom she starred in multiple projects in the late ’90s and early 2000s. Though there is no confirmed romantic history between the two, fans speculated heavily on her intentions during the now-infamous speech.

🤐 Silent Treatment from Jolina?

As of press time, Jolina Magdangal has not released an official statement regarding the incident. Her last post on social media was a cryptic Instagram story showing a photo of a wine glass with the caption: “Sometimes, you say too much when you’ve said too little.”

This has only fueled further speculation and criticism, with many demanding she apologize to Carlo, Charlie, and the attendees of the wedding for what they described as an attention-seeking and inappropriate act.

💔 The Newlyweds React

While Carlo Aquino and Charlie Dizon have stayed largely silent on the issue, a close source reportedly said:

“They were surprised, but they want to keep things classy and not let it ruin their special day. They’re choosing peace.”

Still, fans of the couple are not so quick to forgive, especially with clips from the event circulating with millions of views—all focused on “Jolina’s moment.”

🔥 Social Media Divided

The internet remains divided. Some longtime fans of Jolina defended her, saying that perhaps her statement was misunderstood, and that she may have simply been feeling nostalgic about past collaborations or friendships.

But for many, her timing—and her tone—felt more like a deliberate disruption.

“Weddings are sacred. If you have drama, save it for the teleserye,” one user posted bluntly.

💣 What’s Next?

With tensions still high and no apology in sight, people are now wondering whether Jolina’s public image will take a permanent hit, or if this will blow over as just another celebrity misstep.

But one thing is clear: no one expected the most talked-about moment from Carlo and Charlie’s wedding to come from a guest—and not the couple themselves.

Stay tuned as this story continues to develop. Will Jolina finally speak up and clear the air? Or will this become a moment that haunts her career for years to come?

Jolina Magdangal draws flak over Carlo-Charlie wedding post
Netizen to Jolina Magdangal: “Kunsinti pa more.” TV host-actress Jolina Magdangal’s congratulatory post for the newlyweds Carlo Aquino and Charlie Dizon was met with criticism.

Carlo and Charlie’s private, secret wedding was held at Alta Veranda de Tibig, in Silang, Cavite, on Sunday, June 9, 2024. It was attended by their respective families and a few select friends, including Jolina and her husband Mark Escueta. On Monday, June 10, Jolina took to Instagram to thank and congratulate the newlyweds.

Attached to the post were photos of Carlo and Charlie during their wedding ceremony.

In the caption, Jolina recalled Charlie’s wedding vows to Carlo. Charlie is said to have manifested her marriage to the actor. The Magandang Buhay host admitted that apart from Charlie, she also manifested for Carlo and Charlie’s lifelong union.

That’s why she couldn’t contain her joy and happiness when what she had always prayed for, that the two’s love would end up in church, came true.

Jolina said in the caption of her post (published as is): “April [Charlie’s real name] said in her vows that manifesting is true.. I just wanted to share that I was one of those who manifested for your forever.

C”And what Kaloi [Carlo’s nickname] said in his vows about how he would take care of, nurture and love April, I know very well that his heart is speaking.

“I’m grateful that I witnessed their union.

“Kaloi, since we met when you were young, I know how kind a son you are and how loving your family is. I’m really happy for you.

“April, since I found out that we are sisters with Nanay Nenet, I have been following you and I really admire you for your skill in your craft but most of all, for your humility.

“Congratulations and best wishes!!!

“Ps, it’s nice to witness friends who are forever and then my forever is with me.. (love you mahal).”

NETIZENS REACT
In the comments section of Jolina’s post, many netizens were not happy with the TV host’s manifestation of Carlo and Charlie’s lifelong relationship.

Here are the opposites published as is.

A netizen’s comment: “I’m so disappointed in you, Jolina. You didn’t even think about his mother that he changed to calling her “the flesh…”.”

“Your caption, Jolens, is awesome, “loving the family” knowing the fact that he left his mother. That’s why you’re bashing me! Just be patient,” another added.

One said: “Loves family? Are u kidding? What do u call a man who turned his back on his very own flesh for his own sakes happiness? Like seriously!!!???”

Another said, “It would be nice if Carlo had been a good ex to his child’s mother, people would have understood that maybe he has changed. As for the pain he has caused to many women like us. He is not credible to know how to love or respect a woman. What if he is not sincere when supporting his child? There are many factors that need to be considered in that kind of man. Not because he got married, but because he is a new or matured man. It’s good that he didn’t end up with Trina because he doesn’t deserve a baby boy but a REAL MAN.” If there are those who criticize, there are also those who understand Jolina’s point in her post and caption.

Here are the pros published as is.

A netizen defended, “There are a lot of bitter comments lol, you can’t force Carlo to stay with his ex/mother if he’s not happy anymore, and more than that. It’s a good thing they’re not married yet because they’ll just end up divorced even if they have a child. Not because they say they have a child, that’s where his life will be. Hahaha, when they get married, the love is stronger, there’s nothing you can do. I’m happy for Carlo and the girl. Best wishes.” Another added, “You’re so pathetic, Trina, I’m not her hater and even more so I’m not a fan of those two, but I hope you think Trina, Carlo and their child would be even more pathetic if they continued to be together just because of the child but they’re no longer happy. The child is a man who only fights with his parents. Also, don’t blame Carlo for everything because we all have ugly habits that we hide, cguro.”

To these comments, Jolina quickly responded, “thank you for your broad understanding.”

CARLO’S PAST RELATIONSHIP
Based on the comments, netizens are referring to Carlo’s controversial breakup with his former partner Trina Candaza, before the actor married Charlie.

It is also no secret to the public that Trina was deeply hurt by her breakup with Carlo.

In January 2023, Trina confessed that she and the actor had separated in December 2021.

They reportedly hid it for almost a year before finally going public with the news that they were separated.

But she said she didn’t want to make the reason for her and Carlo’s separation public because their daughter Mithi might one day watch the interview.

Trina also admitted that she was the one who left where Carlo and she lived.

She admitted that she was also “toxic” during their relationship, which may be one of the reasons why Carlo helped her.

Trina said, “I can admit that I was toxic at that time, but I tried to be positive for our son.”

Until she came to the point where she realized that her relationship with Carlo wasn’t going to work. So within a year, they both became single.

CARLO’S NEWFOUND LOVE
But a year later, Carlo found a new love in the person of his now-wife Charlie. The talk of something special between the two first started after Charlie posted a sweet photo of him and Carlo, with some non-showbiz friends, in December 2022. This was followed by them being spotted at a restaurant in La Union together and appearing to be on vacation and Carlo posting a photo of Charlie on his Instagram account. On January 6, 2023, Carlo himself admitted to PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) that his relationship status with the Kapamilya actress was “dating”. According to him, he sees a very positive outlook in Charlie.

July 20, 2023, for the first time, Charlie revealed that Carlo is her boyfriend. On August 3, 2023, in another interview with PEP.ph, Carlo and Charlie talked about how they got along despite their different personalities and characteristics.

Charlie shared: “Carlo is super loving, very caring.

“But what I admire most about him is that when he wants something, he will really do it, eh.

“Because that’s what I’m not like. Like me, I’m afraid to take risks, to think about it first before doing it.

“But when he… when he says he wants something, he will really do all the steps.”

For Carlo, he was fascinated by Charlie’s smiles because they carry positivity.

The actor said, “Do you see his laugh? As long as she’s happy, I’m happy too.”

In this same interview, Carlo and Charlie first hinted that they were ready to level up their relationship. They were already talking about their future and goals.

Carlo said, “We’re talking about the future together.”

Charlie agreed, “Yeah, the goals and how we’re going to achieve those goals.”

What kind of future are they talking about?

Carlo replied, “We’re talking about our future together, with us having a family together.

“Because, why did we get to this point, right? No matter who you are, that’s probably the goal of getting into a relationship, to have someone to be with [for life]. Charlie agreed to this.

According to the actress, from the very beginning, the plan for their relationship was clear to her and Carlo.

“Actually, when it all started between the two of us, it was like everything was already laid out… it was like ‘What is this, are we going to enter a relationship, but what I want is a relationship that is really serious.’

“As in, that’s it. If not, then no. It’s okay if not. That’s what I told her.

“So from the start, we knew that this had to be serious. “When there’s a problem to be discussed, [it’ll be discussed immediately] like that.”

CHARLIE hints AT her WEDDING
PEP was the first to break the news that Carlo and Charlie are getting married, just on the night of Saturday, June 8, 2024.

When PEP Troika interviewed Charlie after she won best actress at the 47th Gawad Urian on June 8, she was asked if it was really the future, June 9, that she and Carlo would get married.

Charlie won the best actress award for the film Third World Romance that she and Carlo starred in, directed by Dwein Baltazar.

At the event, PEP heard the news that the two were getting married.

The actress also mentioned in her acceptance speech the lines, “If you didn’t know, this is a great gift for me now!” But Charlie’s happy response to PEP was, “Hehehe, stay tuned! All I can say is, she’s the best gift. So thank you, Lord!”

When asked how excited she was for the next day, June 9, the wedding day, her answer was also questionable as to what was coming up tomorrow.

PEP.ph replied: “Wedding, of course.”

The actress replied: “Your wedding?”

But she almost admitted it when she mentioned that the award was a double celebration for her, “That’s from you, thank you so much.”
