In his Facebook page, Dennis stood up for Jennylyn amid reports of an alleged clash with her in-laws to address the issue.

He said, "Sa mga hindi po nakakakilala sa aking asawa, isa siya sa pinakamabuting tao sa buhay ko. Isang pribilehiyo na ako ang pinili niyang makasama habang buhay.

Ang mga magulang ko naman ay may edad na po. Hindi din sila showbiz at tahimik lang sila na namumuhay... wag naman sana sila bigyan ng isyu.

"Mahal na mahal ko po silang lahat at maayos ang samahan namin kahit di man kami madalas nagkakasama dahil sadyang busy ang aming mga schedules."

Dennis also said, "2026 na po, mag-focus na lang tayo sa pagiging mabuting tao. Maraming problema ang ating bansa na mas kailangan nating pagtuunan ng pansin.

Maiksi lang ang buhay, piliin natin maging masaya at mabuti araw araw."

Meanwhile, Dennis also has a son named Calix Andreas from his previous relationship with ex-girlfriend Carlene Aguilar.

Dennis and Jennylyn tied the knot on November 15, 2021. Currently, the couple headlines GMA action-drama series Sanggang-Dikit FR where they play cops.
