During the arrival of Filipino athletes from the 2024 Paris Olympics, Mariz, who was covering the event, spotted Chloe walking behind her. Chloe was engaged in a photo session with fans when Mariz approached her for a brief interview.
Upon recognizing Mariz, Chloe immediately declined, saying, “Ay sorry, wag na ako mag-interview.” Mariz respected Chloe’s decision and moved the camera away, resuming her reporting. “Wag na daw, and we respect that,” Mariz said.

She expressed this stance to a netizen, explaining, “You haven’t seen any media interview me because I decline to be interviewed and not take away his spotlight.”
