In 2011, Maja was caught in a controversy that led her to admit her then almost one-year relationship with Matteo Guidicelli, a Filipino-Italian actor, model, racer and singer. The latter and Maja's former loveteam partner, Coco Martin, had a brawl that happened during the Star Magic Ball last September 3, 2011 at the Manila Peninsula Hotel in Makati City.

He relayed on the show that his relationship with Maja became stronger because of the event. At the start of 2012, the couple finally became more open about their love for each other during their interviews and guestings for their first-movie together and Matteo's first starring movie role, My Cactus Heart.
