After a more than a year-long engagement, Robi Domingo finally tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend Maiqui Pineda last January 6 in an intimate church ceremony at the Diocesan Shrine and Parish of San Isidro Labrador in Bulacan. The Kapamilya host revealed in his social media post why his wedding day was made even more unforgettable because of some sad news in his family.

In his Instagram post last January 9, Robi wrote, “Bittersweet. January 6 was the happiest day of my life. My heart was filled with immense gratitude -from preps in the morning, to the ceremony, to the reception which lasted until dawn.

"As I was about to leave the place, my mom was sobbing as she tried to tell me that my Lola passed away that same morning. Apparently, my family didn't tell us so that our focus was our magical day.

"'Ina,' as I fondly called her, took care of me especially when I was a toddler. I loved how she made her ube halaya and Leche flan sa llanera. Rest in peace, ina. Please look after us together with ama. Thank you, and we love you. ❤️”

The 34-year-old Pinoy Big Brother host also addressed their guests at the nuptials in one of his comments in the post.

“We wanted to thank a lot of people during the wedding but it has been a rollercoaster ride for us these past few days. Our hearts are happy, but we apologize for the delay. We'll just take a breather from all the happenings. 🙏🏼,” he added. 

Friends of the Kapamilya host in the industry also left comments of condolences for Robi like Chito Miranda, Martin Nievera, Jhong Hilario, Darren Espanto, Melai Francisco, Vina Morales, BGYO member Nate, Jayda Avanzado, Jona, and Bernadette Sembrano.
