Marian Rivera is definitely royal and you can call her Primetime Queen because she rules primetime television. She is also a winner in the love department because she is now engaged to longtime boyfriend, Kapuso Primetime King, Dingdong Dantes.
At 30 today, she is now at the peak of her career and love life. Let us take a look back at the many birthdays she has spent during the past few years and celebrate with her as she moves forward to a beautiful and bright future with her husband-to-be.
25th birthday (2009)
While most people are trying to figure out their career and life choices at 25, Marian Rivera has already found her true calling. By this time, she was already well known for playing Marimar and Dyesebel. She also openly shared with everyone that she had something beautiful going on with her leading man, Dingdong Dantes.
The two were holding hands during her 25th birthday celebration. This is when DongYan first openly declared that they are happy together. Marian fell for Dingdong on their Los Angeles trip together, while Dingdong fell for her when they were in New York. Dingdong even told Marian that he wanted to spend Christmas with her for the rest of their lives.
26th birthday (2010)
By the time she was 26, Marian was simultaneously working on two television projects: Endless Love and Show Me Da Manny. She declared that for her birthday, she did not pine for material things anymore because she relishes all the blessings that are coming her way. Her only wish for her birthday was happiness.
She was supposed to spend her birthday with boyfriend, Dingdong Dantes in Hong Kong, but she chose to stay because duty calls. In the name of putting smiles on people’s faces, Marian cancelled her trip.
27th birthday (2011)
Still continuing her successful showbiz career, Marian was the star of GMA primetime series, Amaya by the time she was 27. She admitted that she indeed had detractors, but accepted the fact that she could not please everyone.
However, she knew that not having everything is part of the balance of life. Instead of looking at things in a negative light, she chose to wear rose-colored glasses.
She chose to be thankful for her thriving career, loving family, friends and exceptional boyfriend. Her wish for this year was peace of mind.
28th birthday (2012)
Marian is not only a beautiful face. She also has a pure heart, which is why for her 28th birthday, she chose to spearhead a blood-letting program.
Innately humanitarian, Marian did not ask for any birthday gift from anyone. Instead, she urged her friends and even those from showbiz to donate blood to Red Cross. Needless to say, it was a very successful endeavor that fulfilled Marian’s desire to help others.
29th birthday (2013)
Still consistent with her charitable works, Marian spent her 29th birthday with the young and old. For her first celebration, she visited Child Haus, a shelter for children with cancer. She spent an afternoon of fun and games with the kids and was moved to tears when she received birthday cards from each of them.
She also held a charity event in the Anawim Home of the Abandoned Elderly in Montalban, Rizal. She danced with the residents and had a blast taking photos with them.
Of course, Marian also celebrated with the love of her life. Dingdong surprised her with a trip to Bali, where they enjoyed the paradise-like beaches.
30th birthday (2014)
This is probably Marian’s most unforgettable birthday as Dingdong proposed to her in national television during her birthday episode in her dancing show, Marian. For the first time, Dingdong shared that they were first engaged in 2012, but now he wanted to set things right and say the words he left unsaid before. The Royal Couple will be tying the knot before the year ends.
Though on cloud nine with her dreamy love life, Marian has not forgotten her duties as a responsible citizen. Even though it is her birthday week, she flew to Cebu to auction clothes and gather funds for her Adopt-a-Bangka project.
