Showbiz columnist Lolit Solis noted how Dingdong and his wife Marian Rivera may have been meant together because of their close birth dates.

Dingdong was born on August 2, while Marian was born on August 12.

She added, “Sila Dingdong at Marian ang dalawa sa mga artista natin na pinakamabait at talagang kaya maganda ang buya dahilan na rin sa mabuti silang mga tao at tunay ang kabutihan mula sa puso.

“No wonder they get all the blessing they really deserve. Happy birthday Dingdong and Marian.”

Birthday month ng mag-asawang Dingdong Dantes at Marian Rivera, Salve. Siguro nga talagang sila ang pinagtagpo ng tadhana kasi pati birthday nila parehong buwan ng August at halos magkalapit ang petsa. Kahit nga medyo mahirap ngayon ang magkaruon ng party sure ako na may intimate dinner o lunch ang mag asawa dahil eversince naman iyon ang gusto nila, ang party para lang sa pinaka close sa kanila. Siguro now doble saya sila kasi nga, dalawa ang anak nila sila Zia at Ziggy na kasama na nila na nagsasaya sa birthday nila. Sila Dingdong at Marian ang 2 sa mga artista natin na pinaka mabait at talagang kaya maganda ang buhay ay dahilan narin sa mabuti silang mga tao at tunay ang kabutihan mula sa puso. No wonder they get all the blessing they really deserves. Happy birthday Dingdong and Marian. #classiclolita #takeitperminutemeganun #73naako
