SA guesting ni Arjo Atayde sa YouTube channel ni Enchong Dee kamakailan, tinanong ng huli ang una kung ano ang mga pagbabago sa kanyang sarili nang maging sila ni Maine Mendoza.

Ang sagot ni Arjo, “Number one, maturity. Goals. I’m more goal-oriented,” sabi ni Arjo.

Tinukso ni Enchong si Arjo. Sabi nito,  nagulat nga raw sila sa biglaang pagma-mature ni Arjo.

“I’m sorry, but it’s happening! I thought it’s gonna take ten years, oh my God… I’m kidding,” natatawang sabi ni Arjo.

Pagkasabi nu’n ay biglang nagseryoso si Arjo at ipinaliwanag kung paano siya natulungan ni Maine.

“It happened all of a sudden. When you just really know what you want in life, you know who you want to be with… with that person you love the most, you just know, e.”

Ayon pa sa mahusay na aktor, life-changing ang pagkakaroon nila ng relasyon ni Maine.

“It’s not something slow-mo, but it’s something so real that it straightens you up all the way. So, yeah, I think when you’re in love, I guess you should be inspired, number one. And be a better person from there. Not try to be. Just be who you are, just be good.”
