Dingdong Dantes, Marian Rivera share Easter Sunday tradition with kids
Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera marked Easter Sunday by sharing a simple family practice: sitting down together to write their dreams, wishes, prayers, and reflections.
On Instagram, the Kapuso Primetime King shared photos of their family, his wife Marian Rivera, and their kids Zia and Sixto, taken at a park.
Dingdong said he's been observing how his children's perspectives are evolving.
"You notice it in what they choose to say, in how they see things," he said, adding that their responses are those "kind of insight that catches you off guard."
He also shared what Zia and Sixto wished for this year's Easter Sunday.
"One wished for the war to stop, reminding me how children see the world without filters, just with hope," he said.
"The other talked about broccoli," he added. "Apparently, he now appreciates it because I once told him I had to eat a lot of it to stay healthy enough to become his dad."
But most of all, Dingdong said what stayed with him was hearing his kids express gratitude to him and Marian.
"As parents, that hits differently," he said. "Because most days, you're just working, moving, doing what needs to be done, hoping they understand."
"I'm grateful to my wife for always helping them see that, for reminding them why we do what we do," he added.
In 2025, the Dantes squad spent their Easter Sunday in Japan.
Marian and Dingdong got married in 2014. They celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary in December 2025 with a renewal of vows.
Their eldest child, Zia, was born in 2015, while their son Sixto was born in 2019.
