Popstar Sarah Geronimo and long-term boyfriend Matteo Guidicelli announced their engagement last November 2019. Last February 20, 2020, rumors started circulating that the couple is set to have a private wedding the next day but this was denied by some of the staff of The Voice Teens, a show where Sarah serves as a coach. Lo and behold, today’s rollercoaster of events proved those rumors were actually true.
The way everyone found out about the wedding was coupled with controversy and a bucketful of “tea” that the internet will be discussing until the newlywed couple’s 50th wedding anniversary.
What allegedly went down at the party
Apparently Matteo Guidicelli punched one of Sarah G’s bodyguards last night on their civil wedding because he informed mommy Divine of the said civil wedding (that she did not know of) and she showed up during the rites omg this is such a tea grabe I can’t

News broke that Matteo allegedly punched a bodyguard for letting Sarah’s mom, Mommy Divine, know about the civil wedding plans they had today.

A GIF to help your imagination
It’s a sad day for Popsters and #AshMatt fanatics everywhere
OMG, as a Popster, nalulungkot ako for Sarah G. Matteo punching her bodyguard? Mommy Divine still not letting her daughter be? Sarah being forced to keep her wedding from her mother? Everything feels so messed up. My God. Virtual hugs, bebegurl Sarah. ☹️☹️☹️

Imagine tainting the supposed best day of your life with a controversy involving the most important people to you. Sarah must be feeling all sorts of things today.
The pre-nup rumors
This B.I. came out 2 weeks ago on fashionpulis. Allegedly about Matteo & Sarah. Apparently, Mommy Divine did not only want a pre-nup but wanted Sarah to transfer all her assets to them before marriage. And shes been foiling wedding preparations since they declined to do it. pic.twitter.com/lXpapA3BQA

Not that we’re saying the sources are 100% reliable, but there might be truth to the story.
Mommy Divine, pasok!

Some artists are trapped by the Illuminati. Then there’s Sarah G––trapped by Mommy Divine. The devil works hard but mommy divine works harder.

“Netizen’s Wrath” also entered the group chat.
We’re Team Sarah all the way
sarah geronimo is a wholeass 31 years old who is fully capable of making decisions for herself. kelan kaya yun marerealize ni mommy divine? 🙄

If Sarah and Matteo indeed had a secret civil wedding last night, then it would be totally awesome! It means Sarah had enough of her controlling and selfish mother by choosing her happiness first. No use for a pre-nup agreement her mother was insisting weeks ago.

People are clamoring over Team Mommy Divine and Team Matteo but our lot is cast on Team Sarah. She is a strong, independent woman who made a choice to be wed to the love of her life today. All those years working hard for her career cemented her as one of the best and established women in the showbiz industry and we’re happy she finally did something for herself today.
A lesson for other moms
Mommy Divine is a true representation of toxic Pinoy parents who still treats their child like they’re 15 yrs old even though they’re 31 and ready to make decisions on their own!

The experience is surely a painful one for all the parties involved but it will definitely teach a lesson. To all the parents out there, remember that your kids have free will and obviously, if they’ve been alive for more than three decades, they’re entitled to exercise that free will. Holding on to a parent’s personal hopes and dreams for their kid oftentimes ends in severed relationships and you don’t want that happening.
Even the bodyguard wasn’t safe from criticism
mommy divine was obviously not invited for a reason we all know nothing about, sarah and matteo are both of legal age to do whatever they wanna do, the bodyguard was a snitch, and although i dont tolerate the punching part, i kinda feel for matteo. https://t.co/IFd0dcMO4o

matteo was obviously sarah’s safe place, and no one has the right to shit on that, not even mommy divine. sarah dedicated 31 years of her life for her family, and imagine doing something for yourself for the first time and a snitch of a bodyguard ruins it for you.

You know what they say, snitches end up in ditches.
A message to all Pinoy moms out there
Be a Mommy Pinty in this world full of Mommy Divine

Or a Mommy Dionisia if you wish, one who always kneels in fervent prayer for her child to win whatever battle they’re in.
The bottom line is, we’re all spectators of a show we shouldn’t even be witnessing. This is the price celebrities pay: having their life broadcasted every step.
But congratulations are still in order so congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Guidicelli! And in true fairy tale fashion (complete with villains), we wish you a happily ever after.
What do you think of this fiasco?
