Marian Rivera worked hard and obviously did her best to become one of the top actresses of her generation.
With so many achievements under her belt, the Kapuso Primetime Queen has kept her feet firmly on the ground.
And now that she has become a mom to two adorable kids Zia and Ziggy and wife to actor and Family Feud host Dingdong Dantes, Marian has found her happiness in taking care of her wonderful family.
Let us all take a trip down memory lane as we look back at Marian's transformation from sweetheart to the queen of the Dantes household in this gallery.
Early on, the Kapuso Primetime Queen showed a potential in show business.
Marian was born to a Spanish father whom she got her mestiza looks from.

She worked as a part-time print and TV commercial model in her teenage years.
Marian considers her education and graduating from college as one of her achievements in life. She even shared that her toga is the best OOTD she wore.
As a talent under APT Entertainment, the tisay beauty first starred in 'Enteng Kabisote 2: Okay Ka Fairy Ko: The Legend Continues. She eventually had roles left and right in the Kapuso network.
She got her big break when she snatched the title role of the hit Mexican telenovela 'MariMar' opposite Kapuso Primetime King Dingdong Dantes.
