Marian Rivera – “the most beautiful woman in the Philippines” has had a thorny path, not just a bed of roses as many people think.

Mentioning Southeast Asian showbiz in general and the Philippine entertainment industry in particular without mentioning Marian Rivera is a big mistake. Although she has encountered many controversial events, fans always give the actress a special place.

Deserving the title of the most beautiful “land of a thousand islands”

Marian Rivera is of mixed Spanish and Filipino descent. Marian’s parents separated quite early. After the divorce, Marian’s mother took her daughter to the Philippines to live with her grandparents. Although her father was not around, Marian was fortunate to receive the protection and love of her maternal family and her mother who was devoted to her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren.

Marian Rivera possesses a beauty that is a mixture of European and Asian, both sharp and feminine. She has big, deep eyes, a high nose bridge and a radiant smile. That is why the public and the media still favor Marian with the title “the most beautiful woman in the Philippines”.

Although she was famous for her beauty since she was a 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥, Marian did not rush into showbiz too early. It was not until she graduated from university that Marian entered the entertainment industry as an advertising model.

In 2005, people were surprised to see model Marian Rivera continuously appearing as an actress in low-budget television projects.

Since her collaboration project with actor Dingdong Dantes (who later became her partner) in Dancing Wild , Marian Rivera emerged as a rough diamond in the Philippine entertainment industry.

Scandals that come out of nowhere

In October 2016, an unfortunate incident happened to Marian, seriously affecting her image. During a performance at a 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren’s event, the female star accidentally slipped her skirt, resulting in her bust being completely exposed to the eyes of hundreds of spectators and camera lenses.

Although this was just an unwanted incident, the rumors still seriously affected this beauty.

After that unfortunate incident, the beauty 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in 1984 publicly apologized, affirming that she would never make such a mistake again. However, one thing was not over, another happened. Marian faced a huge wave of controversy when she acted in a 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren’s film and wore an extremely offensive outfit.

Besides, Marian’s reputation plummeted when the sensitive video chat was exposed. It was only when there was evidence that it was just a photoshopped image that the incident calmed down. So Marian had to endure the injustice for a long time.

The actress herself has never opened up about this matter. Even when she was slandered and criticized, the beauty still chose to remain silent, not trying to explain the negative rumors but always focusing on her efforts and using actions to prove her innocence.

A happy marriage with a handsome actor

Marian is a very private beauty. Besides her husband Dingdong Dantes, the actress has never revealed any other boyfriends. Dingdong and Marian’s love probably blossomed from the first time they worked together on the set of Wild Dance . But it wasn’t until 2 years later that the two officially fell in love.

After 4 years of dating, Filipino fans witnessed the most impressive marriage proposal in the history of domestic showbiz right on live television by actor Dingdong.
