For his part, Dingdong would usually play with his kids, or even join them in performances to be posted on social media. In one instance, he showed just how musically talented Zia and Sixto were when they sang the The Beatles hit “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da”.

The Kapuso Primetime Queen posted the short clip on her TikTok account, and expressed how wonderful it is to watch her husband and kids performing.

She wrote in the caption, “Love you Dada, Ate Z & Six – Hintayin n’yo sa susunod kasama na ako.”

The video shows Zia singing confidently with Sixto who squealed with laughter while Dingdong strummed a guitar at the back and sang along with his kids.

Recently, he and Marian made sure to attend the First Holy Communion of Zia. Meanwhile, Dingdong and Sixto had a fun father-son bonding, playing dress-up as the Ghost Busters.

Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes renewed their vows as they marked their 10th wedding anniversary on Monday.

On his Instagram Stories today, the Kapuso Primetime King shared heartfelt snaps from the ceremony, including a tearful Marian walking down the aisle. She wore a white dress and held a bouquet of white flowers.

Earlier today, the Marian and Dingdong made separate posts on social media in celebration of their 10th anniversary, sharing some photos from their prenuptial photoshoot with photographer Mark Nicdao 10 years ago.

The couple first met when they starred in GMA Network’s remake of the Mexican series “Marimar” in 2007. The series went on to become the highest-rated primetime show on Philippine television, launching DongYan’s career as the network’s Primetime King and Queen. The rest, as they say, is history.

The couple tied the knot on December 30, 2014.  They have two kids, Zia and Sixto, who turned nine and five this 2024.

Happy anniversary, DongYan!
