Maria Letizia Dantes or Zia and her younger brother Jose Sixto Dantes IV or Ziggy are definitely the cutest pair.
Born on November 23, 2015, Zia is the eldest daughter of Kapuso Primetime King and Queen Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera.
Ziggy was born a few years after, on April 16, 2019, and together, they make Team Dantes a beautiful family.
What makes Zia and Ziggy extremely lovable are not just their cute looks, but also their close sibling bond.
Zia welcomed her role as big sister even before Ziggy was born and is known as a very caring and affectionate ate to her little brother. Especially during the pandemic, Zia and Ziggy became each other's first best friends.
Zia helps her parents watch over and teach skills to Ziggy, while the Kapuso couple continuously showers them with love and attention.
The Dantes siblings are bright, bubbly, endearing, and overall good kids. One thing they have in common is their cheerful personality.
They also take after their parents Marian and Dingdong's charm and mestizo/mestiza features and are both into learning musical instruments from their dad, Dingdong, who plays guitars and the drums. There's no doubt that Zia and Ziggy are built for fame in their own ways, just like their celebrity parents.
As they get older and become toddlers, we see more of their heartwarming brother and sister connection. There's no jealousy or rivalry between the two since they get equal amounts of tender loving care from their parents. They also bring light and inspiration to their family and bring the Dantes fam even closer.
Aside from being the source of happiness of their family, Zia and Ziggy are also among the celebrity kids that the people are extremely fond of.
Fans of Marian and Dingdong are always happy to see some of the milestone moments of the siblings that the Kapuso couple share on their social media accounts.

Back in December 2021, Marian Rivera had to make the difficult decision of leaving her children for a while to become part of an all-female panel in the 70th Miss Universe held in Israel. Joining her in this once-in-a-lifetime trip was her husband Dingdong Dantes.
After her stint in the prestigious pageant, Marian was thrilled to be reunited with her two kids just in time for the Christmas celebration in the Philippines.
