Vic Sotto and Maine Mendoza Come Forward and Publicly Admit the Truth About Their Relationship

Following the social media buzz surrounding the breakup of Maine Mendoza and Arjo Atayde, a new controversy has taken over online discussions—rumors that Maine Mendoza is allegedly pregnant, and that the father of the child is none other than her Eat Bulaga! co-host, Bossing Vic Sotto.

Vic Sotto quickly became the most mentioned name in the comment sections after a recent blind item surfaced involving a comedian-actor who allegedly got his actress co-host pregnant. Many speculated that the actor in question was indeed Vic Sotto.

Meanwhile, reports claim that Vic Sotto’s wife, Pauleen Luna, is devastated by the rumors. She has supposedly been crying non-stop, upset over yet another controversy linking her husband to an alleged affair. This situation is bringing back memories of the past when Vic was rumored to be the father of former Eat Bulaga! host Julia Clarete’s son—a rumor that Pauleen eventually accepted after Vic allegedly admitted to what happened between him and Julia.

However, this current issue involving Maine Mendoza is said to be too much for Pauleen to bear. According to sources, she never expected Vic to do this to her, especially now that they have two children together. Pauleen reportedly believed that the closeness between Vic and Maine was more like a father-daughter relationship. She is heartbroken over the idea that Vic may have impregnated Maine despite being married.

News outlets have reported that earlier today, Maine Mendoza and Vic Sotto appeared in public together and addressed the matter. Vic Sotto denied all the circulating rumors, saying, “There’s no truth to any of these stories.” That was his only statement on the issue.

As for Maine Mendoza, she remained silent during the appearance, reportedly on the advice of her lawyer. Maine neither confirmed nor denied whether Vic Sotto is the father of the child she is allegedly carrying. This silence has puzzled many netizens—if the rumors aren’t true, they ask, why isn’t Maine defending herself from the accusations spreading online?

Pauleen Luna, on the other hand, reportedly does not believe Vic’s denials, claiming she knows her husband very well when it comes to matters like this. According to sources, Vic is capable of doing anything to protect his public image.

As of now, Pauleen has chosen to distance herself from the situation. She has taken her children and left, and it is said that Vic Sotto’s family is currently staying abroad.
