Dingdong Dantes is among the lucky few celebrities who is proving that you can enjoy a successful career while having a fulfilling personal life.
Unlike many of his contemporaries, the prized Kapuso actor, who started as a member of Abztract Boyz, continues to be in-demand into his forties.
Dingdong, who marked his 42nd birthday on Tuesday, August 2, currently hosts the high-rating game show, “Family Feud,” on GMA.
His other show, the informative “Amazing Earth,” is now on its fourth year.
He is a director and an award-winning actor who has gotten to work with some of the best actresses around, including Bea Alonzo, Judy Ann Santos, Regine Velasquez, and of course, his wife, Marian Rivera.
Speaking of Marian, the actress made sure Dingdong’s 42nd birthday celebration in Balesin Island was memorable. On Instagram, she called him her “favorite person.”
” Thank you for being the most amazing husband and father. Blessed to share this life with you,” she also wrote in the caption.
Just asking: Will the couple be giving their kids, Zia and Ziggy, a sibling soon? The couple seem to wait three years before having another child. Well, Zia turned six last November 23 and Ziggy turned three in April.

‘Claudine will be featured, along with acting heavyweights Sid Lucero and Tessie Tomas, in the weekly show, “Wish Ko Lang,” which is marking its 20th year.’
Claudine Barretto will be back in the small screen this month.
After her failed bid to enter local politics in Olongapo — where her family hails from — the award-winning actress will be returning to acting. Claudine will be featured, along with acting heavyweights Sid Lucero and Tessie Tomas in the weekly show, “Wish Ko Lang,” which is marking its 20th year. Sid, we all know, is the son of actress Bing Pimentel and the late Mark Gil, while Tessie Tomas is an award-winning actress who is the daughter of the late radio legend and actress Laura Hermosa.
Claudine will be in the “Bisita” episode next week. This Saturday, Bianca Umali is featured in “Sugal” with Andrea del Rosario, Ian de Leon, Prince Clemente, Dentrix Ponce, and Bryce Eusebio. “Bintang” is directed by Rommel Penesa and penned by head writer Erwin Caezar Bravo and writer Adam Cornelius Asin.
Tessie will be in “Bintang” on August 20 and Sid will be in “Selos” on August 27. “Wish Ko Lang” airs every Saturday at 4 p.m. on GMA.
Aside from featuring big-name stars, “Wish Ko Lang” host Vicky Morales said the show will be granting , a financial assistance amounting to P 100,000. The program is also giving away “Instant Wish” packages through its official Facebook page, where the most deserving individuals will have the chance to bring home business packages, gadgets, and cash assistance, among others.
Vicky said the show has been “through a lot in the past 20 years.”
“Andoon yung nagkaroon tayo syempre ng challenges. nawalan pa tayo ng programa for awhile tapos bumalik din tayo sa gitna ng pandemya. So parang sinasalamin natin yung talagang nangyayari talaga sa buhay — ng isang mag-asawa o ng magkaibigan. And this helps us to treasure every episode even more.”
“Wish Ko Lang’s” 20th anniversary is made extra special with the release of the program’s original soundtrack (OST) to be recorded by Hannah Precillas, Anthony Rosaldo, Jessica Villarubin, and Ysabel Ortega.
