Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes joyfully celebrate their 9th wedding anniversary on December 30, 2023.
Known as GMA-7 Prime Time Queen and King, Marian and Dingdong shared heartwarming messages of love and gratitude for each other on their respective Instagram accounts.
Dingdong posted a picture from their 2014 wedding at Cubao Cathedral in Quezon City.
In his caption, the Kapuso actor took a moment to reflect on the busy weeks dedicated to filming and promoting their 2023 Metro Manila Film Festival entry Rewind.
Dingdong wrote: "It has been a crazy, hectic year for us, as we were both busy with our work—having less time for ourselves.
"That’s why when we started shooting #RewindMMFF, it felt like going on a date every single day, and the bonus became a beautiful film outcome.
"Being able to tell the story of John and Mary is a gift. Sharing it successfully with millions of people fulfills a mission.
"Accomplishing this mission alongside you, my wife, is a rare privilege, one that I believe comes once in a lifetime.
"I am genuinely grateful for this extraordinary experience, which will always hold a special place in my heart."
As he concluded the post, Dingdong expressed gratitude, acknowledging Marian, and praising her as the best mom, wife, friend, and leading lady.
"On our wedding anniversary, I have nothing but gratitude to you, my Mary, for being the best mom, wife, friend, and leading lady anyone could ever ask for.
"Happy 9th. Lundagin mo pa, Beybe!"

"Rewind to Dec 30, 2014. 1 by @markrochapadernal," Dingdong wrote.
For her part, Marian's message was short and sweet.
She wrote: "Siyam na taon ng pagmamahal, tawanan, at walang katapusang pasasalamat. Happy Anniversary mahal, ikaw ang aking walang hanggang biyaya. [emojis]"
