Dingdong Dantes shares precious moment with son Ziggy

By Maine Aquino

Dingdong Dantes shared that he had a memorable trip at the beach with his son Sixto.

Sixto, or more popularly known by his nickname Ziggy, is the second child of Dingdong and Marian Rivera.

The Kapuso Primetime King and Queen were blessed with two children, Zia and Ziggy. Zia turned 5 years old last November and Sixto celebrated his 1st birthday with a simple feast at home last April.

Dingdong, Marian, Zia, and Ziggy went on a beach trip this holiday season and used this time to bond as a family.

According to Dingdong's post, he was pleased when he saw that his son enjoyed his first time at the beach. The Kapuso Primetime King shared that Ziggy loved the sand and the water.

“I will never forget how happy this boy was when he first encountered the sand and water on his feet.”

Dingdong said that when the COVID-19 pandemic started, Ziggy was just a little baby. A few months after, he turned into daddy's little beach buddy. Dingdong posted a photo of himself holding his son in his Instagram account.


“When this pandemic started, he hasn't even walked yet! But now look-- he's become my beach buddy!”

The Amazing Earth host also expressed his appreciation for having the chance to go out with his family. Their family vacation was scheduled after months of spending time indoors to stay safe from the pandemic.

He said, “I am just so grateful that we have been given this opportunity to freely run around and appreciate nature inside this bubble, without fear of getting anything unwanted.”

In another post, Dingdong showed a beautiful photo of his son having fun at the beach. He said that Ziggy enjoyed the time in the water just like his big sister Zia and mommy Marian.

Dingdong also used this opportunity to tease his wife that the only time she enjoyed being in the water was when she played a mermaid in a series. He was, of course, referring to Marian's role in Dyesebel in 2008.

“So happy to know how much he adores the water just like his ate and mom (but only when she was a mermaid). #Sixto”

The Dantes family vacation was also a celebration of the upcoming wedding anniversary of Dingdong and Marian. Dingdong and Marian will mark their 6th anniversary as a married couple on December 30.
