Alden Richards celebrated his 25th birthday on January 2, just the way he wanted it: low-key.
The intimate party took place at his newly-opened restaurant in Quezon City, Concha’s Garden Cafe, which also has a branch in Tagaytay.
While his AlDub partner Maine Mendoza wasn’t spotted among the guests, she posted her greetings on Twitter.
Her message was accompanied by a photo of Alden overlooking a lake, "Take a break, breathe and enjoy the simple pleasures in life.
"Happy birthday, Tans. @aldenrichards02 #AldenAt25”
