At 35 years old, Marian Rivera has everything from a perfect career to a perfect marriage.

The childhood of mixed-race girl Marian Rivera lacked fatherly love

When it comes to Philippine showbiz, perhaps ignoring the name Marian Rivera is truly a pity. Marian Rivera was born in 1984 with Spanish and Filipino blood.

Since her birth, Marian Rivera has made people stunned by her beautiful appearance. Miran Rivera’s big round eyes, white skin and radiant smile fascinate many people

Born in Spain, Marian Rivera’s childhood was not that perfect. Marian’s parents broke up quite early. After her parents divorced, Marian followed her mother to the Philippines to live, and her life has been without her father ever since.

Although she did not have her father by her side, luckily Marian received the support and love of her maternal family and a mother who devoted herself to her children.

Famous for her beauty since childhood, Marian did not join the entertainment industry early. Her mother is always afraid that the scandalous entertainment industry will hurt Marian.

After completing her university studies, Marian entered the entertainment industry as a skin cream advertising model. Her lovely face and sweet smile became “capital” for Marian. Although she has no acting experience, with her efforts, Marian quickly achieved success and became the second most popular beauty in the Philippines.

Not long into the entertainment industry, Marian has “financed” countless popular movies. She is loved almost absolutely by the Filipino people. Marian’s image is like flawless jade.

But showbiz is never inherently peaceful, because because of her popularity, Marian became the focus of the media and even the victim of dirty media tricks. Marian’s every move attracts public attention. Therefore, Marian’s private life seems to be zero.

The most notable noise for Marian’s career was probably the shirt-loose scandal in October 2016. It is known that at that time, Marian was performing for a children’s program when her dress slipped, causing her entire bust to be exposed to the camera and a large audience. Immediately after the incident, Marian went back inside and adjusted her outfit.

At the end of the show, Marian also apologized to the fans but still encountered unnecessary mixed opinions. Some people defended Marian, others said this was an unacceptable action.

Although this was just an unfortunate incident, it greatly affected Marian’s image as a pearl.

Not only that, Marian was also a victim of dirty media tricks. A group of antifans often smear the beauty’s image, causing her to have an extremely miserable time because of baseless accusations.

Overcoming criticism, Marian, with her talent and beauty, has proven that her love comes entirely from her efforts and seriousness with her art.

Secret love stories and sweet love endings with Dingdong Dantes 

That day, one of the things that the media and fans were most interested in was probably Marian’s love story. However, Marian is an extremely private person. Before dating Dingdong Dantes, she had never revealed about her love affairs.

Before coming to Dingdong, Marian was entangled in rumors of dating two other actors.

The first person to appear in Marian’s love rumors was her close friend Ervic Vijandre. Ervic is a famous basketball player and movie actor in the Philippines.

Ervic and Marian are classmates in high school and university. The two’s close relationship makes many people question whether the two ever dated.

There is even information that Marian developed feelings for Dingdong Dantes while dating Ervic.

However, neither Marian nor Ervic have ever spoken about this relationship.

Marian also had a time when she was rumored to be in a relationship with famous actor Mark Herras. Mark is also one of the actors who had a close relationship with Marian when she first entered the entertainment industry.

In an interview in 2008, Mark named 5 female artists he dated, among them was Marian Rivera. His and Marian’s love story lasted just over half a year.

However, Marian never admitted that she had ever been in love with Mark. Many people think that this may just be Mark’s unilateral affair.
In 2009, Marian publicly announced her love story with actor Dingdong Dantes, her close co-star. It is known that before falling in love, Marian and Dingdong had the opportunity to play lovers together in many movies from Wild Dance to Mermaid Love Story… or later Dangerous Love (2009), Endless Love (2010)…

That day, the two were such beautiful lovers that fans just wanted them to get married. When her love story was made public, Marian was rumored to be the third person interfering in the relationship of Dingdong and actress Karylle.

In November 2018, Dingdong and Karylle announced their separation after 3 years of dating. Shortly after, the actor announced his love story with Marian. Some sources believe that Marian is the third person, the reason why Dingdong and Karylle’s relationship broke down.
Later, when she had the opportunity to meet Dingdong and Marian again at the same event, Karylle shared that she still greeted everyone very happily.

Sharing about confessing his love to Marian, Dingdong once revealed: “The moment I asked her to be my girlfriend, I was sure that this was the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Because I made a very mature decision before expressing it.”

After 3 years together, Dingdong officially proposed to Marian for the first time when they both went to Macau and received the beauty’s consent. After getting engaged, the couple decided to return to work and agreed to announce the good news at the right time.

In August 2014, Dingdong knelt down and proposed to Marian on live television, this time the beauty burst into tears with emotion. Finally, the wedding of the pair of fairies in the Philippine entertainment industry also took place at the end of December 2014.

The couple’s wedding is considered the Philippines’ top entertainment event, broadcast live and attended by the President.

Nearly a year after getting married, Marian gave birth to her first daughter, Maria Letizia Dantes, but her mother often lovingly called her Zia. As soon as she was born, Zia “captivated” everyone thanks to her lovely appearance.

In April 2019, when her daughter turned 5 years old, Marian gave birth for the second time, a son. As expected of being the child of the most beautiful couple in the Philippines, as soon as he was born, the “young master” of the Marian family received countless compliments for his appearance.

At the age of 35, Marian has everything in her hands, a perfect career, a loving husband and two beautiful angels.
