2 proposals and 8 years of sweet marriage of the Filipino beauty

At the age of 38, Marian Rivera has reached the peak of her career and is extremely satisfied in her married life.

For Vietnamese fans, Marian Rivera is not a strange name. The Filipino actress once “caused a fever” on the small screen through films such as Mermaid Love Story, Wild Dance… Possessing an impressive mixed-race beauty, both sexy and charming, gentle and feminine, she is also affectionately called “the most beautiful woman in the Philippines” by the media and Vietnamese fans.

Besides her beauty and talent, one of the things that many people admire about Marian Rivera is her fairytale love and extremely happy family with actor Dingdong Dantes . It is not an exaggeration to say that she is one of the beauties with the most fulfilling career and life in Philippine showbiz.

Beautiful love story from movies

Perhaps “fate” is the most suitable word to describe the love between Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes. The love story of the most famous couple in the Philippines was nurtured by many on-screen pairings, then “blossoming” and having complete happiness.

However, few people know that the first time they met and worked together in the movie Wild Dance , Marian did not have a good impression of Dingdong. Although at that time Dingdong was a handsome actor admired by millions of girls, Ms. Rivera felt that he seemed “snobbish” and “unapproachable” . “We could not find a common voice, not at all!” , Marian confided about her first impression when working with Dingdong.

Marian had a bad first impression of Dingdong, while her husband fell in love with his wife at first hug.

Interestingly, on the other hand, Dingdong Dantes was completely “infatuated” with his beautiful co-star. He confided that he felt “special” emotions from the first time he held Marian Rivera in his arms. However, at that time, the number 1 actor in the Philippines still did not have enough courage to confess his feelings to the beauty.

After airing, Dancing With The Stars starring Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes became the most successful primetime drama on Philippine television. Not only that, the work also created a “phenomenon” when it was able to compete directly with the “big guys” of Korean and Chinese films domestically and in many Asian countries, including Vietnam.

The impressive performance of Dancing With The Stars brought Marian and Rivera to new heights of fame. They were even dubbed the “Primetime Queens” and “Primetime Kings” of Philippine television.

Since then, the couple’s names have always been associated with each other. They have continuously been “on-screen lovers” through a series of films such as Mermaid Love Story (2008), Dangerous Relations (2009), Horizon With You (2010) and Mysterious Lover (2012)…

The couple’s feelings are like “rain gradually seeping through”, from colleagues they gradually love each other and become each other’s other half.

The days of bonding on set helped Marian and Rivera get closer to each other. From a purely colleague relationship, the two gradually became close and loved each other without realizing it. After the movie Dangerous Relations , the famous couple was often seen going to the gym and traveling abroad together. From here, rumors of their “fake love, real love” began to spread widely.

On Marian Rivera’s 25th birthday, the couple officially confirmed that they were dating by publicly appearing in front of a crowd. At that time, Dingdong happily shared with the media:  ”We are happy together. We are both open to dating, having dinner together, watching movies… I helped Marian practice for her role in Darna. When she has time, she goes to the gym with me, I will show her what I know” .

Two romantic and sweet fairy tale proposals

After 3 years of passionate love, Dingdong Dantes took Marian Rivera to Macau for a vacation. Here, the actor prepared an elaborate and romantic proposal for his girlfriend.

Two years later, as the engagement announcement neared, Dingdong believed Marian deserved more than the proposal in Macau that year. So he planned to surprise his fiancée with a second proposal, right on stage at her dance show.

Dingdong Dantes made the media and fans “explode” when he knelt down to propose to Marian Rivera on live television.

In August 2014, Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera’s live television proposal made social media and the media “explode”. In front of family, friends and all the fans, Dingdong once again gently confessed his love: “I want to declare to the whole world how much I love you” . Marian was in tears.

Later, when recalling the moment Dingdong put the engagement ring on her ring finger, Marian Rivera still couldn’t help but feel emotional and moved. She confided that it was one of the most beautiful moments of her life.

The most beautiful woman in the Philippines also spoke sweetly about her man: “Dingdong has all the best things I look for in a man. He is a filial son, a great gentleman in my eyes and everyone’s.

But most importantly, he always loved and cared for me. When we were together, we often called each other Mahal, which means love in Filipino.”

The wedding of the “Philippine golden couple” is likened to a royal wedding because of its grandeur and splendor.

Just like that, love brought Marian and Dingdong together, tying their lives together. In December 2014, the two officially became one family after many years of dating.
