This couple came together from their first collaboration, loved by the audience for more than a decade.

In early 2024, the most powerful couple on the Philippine screen, Marian Rivera – Dingdong Dantes, had a surprising reunion. The movie called Rewind excited the audience when the couple had the opportunity to play husband and wife again on screen. In it, Marian played the role of wife Mary recalling the ups and downs of her life with her husband John – the character played by Dingdong. 

Rewind was warmly received by the audience, grossing 600 million pesos (more than 262 billion VND) and was one of the highest-grossing movies of the year. This was also a rare time that Marian Rivera acted in a movie with her husband after getting married and limiting her showbiz activities to spend time with her family.

Previously, Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes had acted together in 13 movies, including supporting or cameo roles. In the television industry, the two began working together and falling in love with each other from Wild Dance, then moved to Mermaid Love, Dangerous Love, Eternal Love, My Lover and Encantadia.

In the film industry, the two had the opportunity to participate in the projects True Love, With You, You Are Everything, Noy, Dance of the Steelbars, Tween Academy: Class of 2012, Kubot: Aswang Chronicles 2, Fantastica and now Rewind.

Dingdong Dantes said he “fell in love” with Marian Rivera right from the first project. However, the “most beautiful woman in the Philippines” did not have a good impression of her co-star at that time, especially his bushy beard. However, later, she was “touched” by his sincere and delicate personality.

In 2024, the two got married and began their beautiful love story, which was supported by the public. The two have now been together for over a decade. Late last year, the couple celebrated their 9th wedding anniversary with a grand fairytale wedding. Currently, Dingdong is still active in showbiz, somewhat more so than his wife.
