HOUSE TOUR! 2022 | DREAM HOUSE of Dingdong Dantes & Marian Rivera
When you talk about power couples in the Philippines, the names Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera always come up first. They’re not only among the most iconic and adored celebrity duos in the country, but they’re also family, career, and lifestyle goals rolled into one. And in 2022, the spotlight is on something even more personal—their dream home.
A Peek Into the Rivera-Dantes Residence
Nestled in an exclusive village in Metro Manila, the home of Dong and Yan (as they’re fondly called) looks like something out of an architecture magazine. Right as you step out of the car, you’ll notice the minimalist yet elegant façade—neutral tones, glass panels, and large windows that let in the natural light.
This isn’t your typical “show-off” celebrity house. Every corner breathes emotion, story, and warmth.
Built with Love and Meaning
According to people close to them, the construction of this house wasn’t rushed. Every detail was a reflection of their personality as a couple. Dingdong, ever the practical and organized one, made sure the house had smart storage, solar panels, and tight security. Marian, known for her grace and charm, focused on the interiors with personal love and attention.
Her touch is everywhere—from the bright and breezy living room, to a kitchen that looks ready for a cooking show. Everything feels homey but with a hint of class.
A Family-First Home
What makes this home special is how it wasn’t built to impress, but to embrace. There’s a spacious playroom for their kids, Zia and Sixto, filled with books, toys, and educational tools. Marian has her reading nook, where she can unwind with tea and a script.
Dingdong, ever the active dad, has a full gym with motivational quotes on the wall—something that makes you want to start working out yourself!

Tapos paminsan-minsan, nandito ako, sumasama ako. Pero sa bawat tornilyo, sa bawat gagamitin, siya talaga lahat ng namili.”

“And para sa akin, yung dream na yun is not really the house, e. It’s us being together as a family.”
Marian revealed how hands-on her husband was during the construction, “Siya! Halos araw-araw, di nga halos, e… Totoong araw-araw nandito siya, as in. Tapos paminsan-minsan, nandito ako, sumasama ako.
