It seems that building a family is one of the biggest turning points in the life of Kapuso Primetime King Dingdong Dantes.

In an episode of “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda” on Thursday, May 9, Dingdong was asked how his wife Marian Rivera and their children changed him.

“360. It used to be that if I was making decisions that were just for me, for example, if I was going to do a project at GMA or anywhere else; whether it’s personal or for career, of course I think for personal growth,” said Dingdong.

“But now, I’m with them, eh. I carry them with me in every decision I make in life. When the time comes, I want them to be proud of their father’s work in everything I do, whether it’s on television or film,” he added.

Meanwhile, in one part of the interview, Dingdong shared how he and Marian maintain their interest in each other especially now that they have been married for 9 years.

“Of the two of us, he is the busier one. So, I’m the one who says ‘when that’s okay let’s make time together. Because when we can talk, even if it’s just a simple drive together, we can talk about a lot of things that are good to talk about,” he said.

“We cherish those precious moments because that’s the only time we really had together. And what’s more if we can go out, date, or go anywhere,” the actor said.

It can be remembered that Dingdong also broke his silence in relation to the floating issue that he allegedly has a child with actress Lindsay De Vera.
