Marian Rivera, Dingdong Dantes celebrate Father’s Day with sweet messages (2025)

Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes celebrated Father’s Day with an exchange of sweet messages, just days after the actress made a cryptic repost involving a vulgar slang on TikTok.

On Instagram, the Kapuso royal couple expressed love for one another, sharing pictures of them together after a block screening for Dantes’ new film, “Only We Know.”

“About last night… congrats, Mahal, on your movie’s success! This Father’s Day, I want to honor your amazing dedication to both your craft and our family. You inspire us every day. Always know I’m here to support you,” she said.

Rivera added that she will always support her husband in his chosen endeavors.

“Palagi mo ngang sinasabi ‘lundagin natin beybe’ kaya naman kahit saan pa yan sasama ako para lumundag kasama mo (You always say, ‘Let’s go for it, baby.’ I will always join you in going for things you want). Love you so much,” she wrote.

In the comments, Dantes said: “Lundag lang tayo nang lundag, Beybe!” (Let’s keep on making a go for it, Babe!)

“Hanggang mahilo (‘Til we get dizzy)?” Rivera replied.

Dantes then said, “Akong bahala sa iyo, mahal ko (I’ll take care of you, my love).”

Dingdong’s ad-lib

Meanwhile, Dantes shared glimpses of his chill Father’s Day bonding with his kids, Sixto and Zia, where he received handwritten letters and a new tuxedo.

“In a world full of scripts, this is the only role I ad-lib with joy,” he captioned his post along with the hashtag “#ArawNgMgaErpats.”

Their posts appeared to quell speculations amid the recent showbiz buzz pertaining to Rivera’s TikTok video repost which fans connected to Dantes’ recent guesting at the noontime show “It’s Showtime” to promote his new movie.

In that appearance, Dantes inevitably met his erstwhile girlfriend Karylle, who is one of the show’s hosts. Their encounter coincided with Rivera’s cryptic repost of a clip featuring a woman who said, “Don’t f*** with me.”

The Dantes couple have yet to address this matter, while their fans claimed Rivera was the first to post even before Dantes’ appearance on “It’s Showtime,” and that she could have been referring to a totally different matter.

Rivera and Dantes tied the knot in a grand wedding in Cubao, Quezon City, in December 2014. They welcomed their first child, Zia, in November of the following year. The actress gave birth to Sixto in April 2019.

Before getting together with Rivera, Dantes was in a relationship with Karylle in 2005 until their allegedly bitter parting in 2008, allegedly due to a third-party. She is now married to Spongecola frontman Yael Yuzon. /edv
