Kapuso actor Dingdong Dantes downplayed rumors that he hindered what would have been a Marian Rivera-Richard Gutierrez movie.
“Hindi totoo yun kasi, unang-una, hindi naman ako [ang] manager niya [Marian] eh. Saka kahit tanungin niyo siya, she never asked me. In all fairness to the issue, she never asked me about that.
“Desisyon nila yun, wala akong kinalaman. You can even ask her [about it],” the actor said in a taped interview aired on “Unang Hirit” last Jan. 27.
Recall that Marian and Richard first teamed up in 2008 on the blockbuster hit “My Best Friend’s Girlfriend.”
Talks on having a Marian-Richard movie for Valentine’s 2011 cropped up last year, but the idea was eventually shelved to make way for the trilogy movie “My Valentine Girls” where athe actorppears alongside Rhian Ramos, Lovi Poe, Solenn Heussaff and Eugene Domingo.
Dingdong maintained that he fully supports his girlfriend in all her showbiz and non-showbiz endeavors. He also proudly shared that Marian recently bought a car for herself, with him just providing recommendations and her deciding which model to acquire.
Asked for what seems to be the hundredth time if they’re going to tie the knot soon, Dingdong reiterated that their respective careers comes first as of the moment.
“Masyadong malaking tanong yun. We're taking things one step at a time. I mean, it's a big decision 'di ba? Ngayon, gawin muna lahat ng dapat gawin,” said he, adding that he is happy with their relationship.
Meanwhile, a separate report from “Tweetbiz” on Jan. 26 mentioned tabloid reports purporting that the couple is to wed two years from now. Dingdong apparently gave Marian a 3-carat diamond ring last December, and people are debating whether the ring was just a Christmas gift or an engagement ring.
According to the “Tweetbiz” paparazzi, Dingdong has refuted the engagement rumor.
