Notably, Maris and Anthony were seated next to each other in the photo.
This marks the first time the two were seen together publicly since the media conference for Incognito and following the controversy sparked by Anthony's ex-girlfriend.
The two did not participate in the press events and promotions for the movie “And The Breadwinner Is…” starring Vice Ganda, one of the official entries in the 2024 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF).

On X, several video clips of a cheerful Maris have circulated, where she smiles and greets everyone as though there was no controversy, which had been heavily discussed by the public.
When asked by the host about her personal goal for 2025, she said, “To be stronger!”
Netizens commented that they didn’t care about the personal issues of MaThon, but based on the released trailer, their performance is highly anticipated, especially Maris', as it is her first time doing action scenes.
