Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes greet their eldest child, Zia Dantes, who is blossoming into a young girl.

Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes’ daughter, Zia Dantes, is blooming into a young girl as she celebrated her 6th birthday on November 23. On Instagram, Marian shared some photos of Zia surrounded by balloons and birthday cakes.

“My precious daughter, may you continue to be a loving, sweet, and kind girl. You’re such a blessing to everyone around you. We miss you, dada. Wish you were here to celebrate with us but thank you for working hard for us. We love you, anak.”

Dingdong Misses Zia

Dingdong, who is currently away from his family due to work commitments shared a video of Zia and him strumming the guitar.

In his message for his daughter, the actor wrote: “For the last six years, this is the first time that I haven’t had you under my armpits for this long. I can just imagine how your Lolo Jigg felt when he worked on a cruise ship for one year in HKG when I was around 8 years old. It’s kinda hard for me, but the thought of you being safe and happy there at home with your mom and brother makes me at peace.”

He also said that he’s looking forward to making more videos with her once he returns.

“Don’t worry, when I get back home, we’ll definitely make more memories with these after-dinner songs, which will come after your regular animated storytelling of how your day had transpired. It has been 20 days since I left and despite the gloominess of this rest day, there is this indescribable feeling of joy knowing that on this day, God has gifted the world with someone like you.”

“Happy 6th, Ate Z. When you’re a bit older, I hope you’ll understand why Dada isn’t with you on this special day.”
