Lithuanian humorist Justas Pečeliūnas has stirred discussion with his commentary on influencer Justina Partikė's burgeoning romance, drawing parallels to a past public relationship scandal. In his show "Savaitė su Pečeliūnu" (Week with Pečeliūnas), a clip of which was shared on LNK's social media, Pečeliūnas playfully questioned the rapid development of Partikė's relationship.
Justina, how are things? Have you already learned Polish, as you're talking about weddings and even a wedding song?
"Justina, how are things? Have you already learned Polish, as you're talking about weddings and even a wedding song?" he quipped. However, the humorist soon shifted to a more pointed observation about the couple's frequent public displays of affection on social media. "I see on Instagram, Justina and this Arek are kissing so much – in every reel. It makes me wonder – isn't this going to be like the Dirksčius and Pikul situation? Is this just theater? And not some Lithuanian National Theater, but already Polish theater," he joked.
Pečeliūnas concluded his remarks with a wish for a more successful outcome for this "play," clearly referencing the highly publicized and ultimately failed relationship between Ingrida Martinkėnaitė (Pikul) and Deividas Meškauskas (Dirksčius). That past relationship was marked by significant public attention and controversy.

Partikė herself responded to Pečeliūnas's humor, indicating she found it amusing. "Great guy!!!" she commented on the shared video, showing she was not offended. Partikė publicly revealed her new relationship in late July, sharing that her new partner lives in Warsaw. The influencer has been more open about her personal life recently, allowing fans closer glimpses into her relationship.
Great guy!!!
