Martina Aitolehti and Matias Petäistö, both prominent figures in the Finnish fitness and entertainment scene, addressed ongoing rumors regarding their relationship during a press event for the reality show 'Erikoisjoukot'. The speculation arose after Seiska reported that the two were frequently seen together, leading to conjecture about a potential romance, especially since they have been sharing training sessions on social media.

During the press conference, both Aitolehti and Petäistö insisted that they did not know each other before the show, and clarified their current relationship as strictly collegial. Petäistö humorously remarked on the nature of relationship rumors, stating that the discussions are often based on flimsy evidence, making them hard to engage with. His comments highlight the peculiar nature of media excitement around minor interactions, particularly among public figures.

The incident underscores the challenges public figures face with rumors and media speculation, as even innocent friendships can be subject to intense scrutiny and misinterpretation. Aitolehti and Petäistö's case reflects a broader trend in entertainment, where closeness on-screen or through social media can lead to unfounded assumptions about personal relationships, prompting individuals to continually address and debunk such narratives.
