Their journey began on the set of “Marimar,” where sparks did not initially fly. It wasn’t until they worked together on “Jessebel” that they began to develop feelings for one another. Marian has openly shared that her connection to Dingdong was sparked by a heartfelt prayer she made while visiting Quiapo Church, seeking divine confirmation about her burgeoning emotions. The very next day, she received an invitation to Dingdong’s home, marking what she describes as the beginning of a series of signs that led to their romantic relationship.
