Marian Rivera, Dingdong Dantes celebrate daughter Zia's 8th birthday

Marian Rivera still couldn’t believe that her daughter, Zia, is now eight years old.

According to Cata Tibayan’s report on “24 Oras Weekend'' on Saturday, the Dantes family had an intimate birthday celebration for Zia on Thursday.

The little girl also celebrated her special day with her classmates.

“Ayokong isipin na lumalaki siya eh, kasi ang bilis, eight years old na. Parang hindi, baby ko pa rin,” Marian said.

The Kapuso Primetime Queen shared that Zia has been into arts and stationery items lately.

“‘Yung anak ko, mahilig ‘yun sa mga notebook ngayon tsaka ’yung mga paggawa ng mga bracelet, ta’s ang hilig niya sa craft talaga ngayon. So ‘yung mga gunting-gunting, alam mo ‘yung mga simpleng ganun ‘yung gusto niya,” she said.

Marian then admitted that she is a strict parent.

“Strict ako pero malambing kasi akong nanay eh, so kapag may mali, mali. Pa’no niya malalaman? At walang ibang magsasabi sa mga anak nila na mali ‘yan kundi ang mga magulang,” she said.

Marian has been married to Dingdong since 2014. Aside from Zia, they have a son named Sixto. —Carby Basina/VBL, GMA Integrated News
