The Real Reason Why Kim Chiu Was Not Invited to Maja Salvador’s Wedding Revealed!

The world of Philippine showbiz is no stranger to unexpected twists — and one of the latest that left fans stunned was the absence of Kim Chiu at the star-studded wedding of her former best friend, Maja Salvador.

Social media was abuzz with speculation when eagle-eyed netizens noticed that the “It’s Showtime” host was nowhere to be seen during Maja’s intimate yet high-profile wedding. With both actresses once considered inseparable, many began to wonder: What really happened? Why wasn’t Kim Chiu part of the guest list?

A Friendship That Once Captivated the Public

Kim and Maja’s friendship bloomed during their early years in showbiz. They were often seen together off-cam, traveling, celebrating birthdays, and supporting each other’s careers. Fans admired their closeness, especially as they worked on various teleseryes under the same network.

But everything took a turn when Maja Salvador began dating Gerald Anderson, Kim’s former boyfriend. While both actresses maintained public grace at the time, insiders revealed that their relationship never fully recovered from that moment.

Silent Rift, Lingering Wounds?

Sources close to the actresses claimed that while they have since moved on and avoided direct confrontations, the rift left a permanent mark. Though there were attempts at reconciliation, trust was never fully rebuilt.

“It’s not about bitterness anymore,” a showbiz insider shared. “Sometimes, people just drift apart — especially when trust is broken. Even if both parties move forward, it doesn’t mean they go back to how things used to be.”

Fans also noticed that in recent years, Kim and Maja rarely interacted online, with no mentions of each other on birthdays or public events — a far cry from their once very vocal friendship.

Maja’s Wedding: Strictly Close Circle

Maja Salvador’s wedding to Rambo Nuñez was described as “intimate and exclusive,” with only close family and long-time friends attending. Many big names in the industry were present, including Janella Salvador and Sue Ramirez, but Kim’s name was noticeably missing from the list.

Speculations intensified, with some netizens believing that the decision was intentional.

“It was her special day. She wanted to surround herself with people she’s deeply connected to at this point in her life,” another source claimed.

Kim Chiu’s Graceful Silence

In true Kim Chiu fashion, the actress has remained gracious and silent about the issue. Instead of reacting to the noise, she focused on her work commitments and recently posted a cryptic but seemingly peaceful message on Instagram: “Not everything deserves a reaction. Some things are better left in silence.”

Her fans praised her for her maturity and elegance in handling the situation.

What’s Next?

While the wounds of the past may never fully heal, many still hope that in time, Kim and Maja may find closure or even friendship again — especially since both continue to grow and shine in their own journeys.

Until then, the mystery behind the wedding invitation that never came remains one of the most talked-about whispers in showbiz.

Kim not invited to Maja’s wedding: ‘We’re not that close!’
Kapamilya star and “It’s Showtime” host Kim Chiu directly answered netizens’ common question about why she wasn’t at her friend Maja Salvador’s wedding.

You can watch it in her vlog “Cooking Tortang Talong with Q&A” which she uploaded on September 24.

“Welcome back to my channel and welcome back to my rest house! We’re here in the kitchen area now because we’re going to cook for this episode. Yes! I always see this on my FYP on TikTok so I thought, I’ll do it. Of course, I’ll have sissy Bazooka and Fem with me to help me cook Tortang Talong!”

“And while we’re cooking, I’ll also answer the questions you sent me on my IG story post last time. Are you ready? This is answering sweet & spicy questions – tortang talong edition! Enjoy!” said Kim.

Question #3 asked about Maja’s wedding to Rambo Núñez. Here, Kim admitted that she wasn’t invited because she and the actress are no longer that close, and she doesn’t have any hard feelings towards her.

“No, no, Maja and I are not that close anymore, and we don’t talk much anymore, and of course when you get married you want the people you want there, to witness your love for your partner, I wasn’t invited!” Kimmy replied with a laugh.

“But it’s okay! Nothing really, I’m so happy for her. I messaged her. And I was also touched when she messaged me because of what happened to my sister. She said she was praying for my sister, and then she said she hoped I was okay. I was able to talk to her when something happened to my sister.”

“But in a wedding, it doesn’t matter if you’re invited or not. As long as you’re happy for yourself that it happened to him, then they deserve each other, he and Rambo, so it doesn’t matter, why is it an issue?” Kim replied.

Towards the end, Kim said that she was happy that Maja had found her “The One” so she extended her congratulations to the couple.

It will be recalled that there was a rift in Kim and Maja’s friendship allegedly because of their ex Gerald Anderson. In 2013, while Kim and Maja were filming the series “Ina, Kapatid, Anak” where they played siblings, Maja admitted that she was dating Gerald, who was Kim’s ex-boyfriend.

It will be recalled that Kim and Gerald were both housemates of “Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition” in 2010 and were even the first couple to be called “Kimerald.” Their relationship turned out to be real.

Kim and Maja haven’t noticed each other for a long time, and Kim admitted this herself in her interview with Boy Abunda on the defunct entertainment yalk show “The Buzz” in April 2014. In 2015, Gerald and Maja’s breakup was reported.

In August 2019, Kim and Maja’s “restored friendship” was reported when the two were together at the Kapamilya World Fiesta in America.

Recently, there was news that Gerald and Maja met again after several years, even with the actress’s husband Rambo. They not only saw each other but even kissed.

This was something that irritated Gerald’s current girlfriend Julia Barretto when a showbiz reporter asked her about it, so she walked out.

Meanwhile, Maja has not yet responded, reacted, or made a statement about it.
