Apat na taon na ang relasyon ng actor-politician at ng Eat Bulaga! co-host.
Sa panayam ni Korina Sanchez para sa Korina Interviews sa NET 25 nitong nakaraang linggo, tinanong niya si Arjo kung kailan ang wedding day nila ni Maine.
Sabi ni Arjo, “To be honest po, I can’t also say it yet, we want to keep it personal.”
Pero may petsa na raw sila.
“Yes po, we are on the process of planning our big day.
“We are enjoying every bit of it, I have to say. I’m really enjoying, with her.
“I’m just looking forward to it. But for now po, hindi pa po namin puwede sabihin.
“Hopefully in time once we can.”
Tanong muli ni Korina, “Pero malapit na?”
Tugon ni Arjo, “Within this year.”
Biro pa ng TV host kay Arjo, “Wala nang urungan?”
Sagot ni Arjo, “Opo. Wala na, wala na.”

Inusisa rin ni Korina kung ano ang nagustuhan ni Arjo sa fiancée at kung bakit ito na ang kanyang “the one.”
Saad ni Arjo, “To be honest po, we all have this imagination of when you meet that person one day, definitely, everything, e. Everything about her.
“It’s just really clicked, Miss Korina, I can’t explain. Sabi ko nga, there’s no slo-mo, there’s no whatever, like, how it comes in fairy tales, but it is my fairy tale.
“That’s how it is to me. It’s very sincere. It came in an unexpected way, unexpected time. Actually, it’s a perfect time.
“We’re both emotionally ready, we’re both very happy, I guess, I can speak for her naman.”
TIME MANAGEMENT
Bilang kongresista, marami ring pinagkakabalahan si Arjo sa unang distrito sa Quezon City. Gumagawa pa rin siya ng TV shows at pelikula.
Sa dami ng kanyang ginagawa, paano niya ito na-handle lahat? Ilang porsiyento naman sa kanyang “time management" si Maine?
Tugon ng bagitong politiko, “Lot of time. I always, as much as I’m free po, we get to spend time together even during dinner or late dinner. So we really try to catch up as much as possible.”
Kasalukuyang nasa Cannes, France si Arjo, kasama ang direktor na si Richard Somes at ang co-ctar na si Enchong Dee, para sa premiere ng pelikulang Topakk, isa sa pitong pelikula na ipapalabas sa Marché du Film Fantastic Pavilion sa 76th Cannes Film Festival.

Bago ito, naglabas ng pahayag ang kongresista bilang vice chairperson ng Creative Industry and Performing Arts committee ng House of Representatives ng suporta sa Filipino films na ipinalalabas sa ibang bansa.
Ayon sa statement, “We’ve been in the film industry for many decades and most of our films are highly-recognized abroad.
"We just have to keep supporting and promoting it. Our talents have been known worldwide so I think it’s time to set the bar high and we can do it.”
Marami daw kasing magagaling na artista, director, scriptwriters, film producers, at workers ang bansa kaya nakakagawa ang mga Pilipino ng world class films.
Dagdag pa sa statement, “With all our talents and production teams in this country, nothing is impossible.”
Inaabangan na rin ang six-episode series niyang Cattleya Killer na mapapanood sa Amazon Prime Video simula June 1.
