Marian on Couple Time After Baby Zia: 'Di Kami Makatulog!'

How Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes adjusted their "alone time" after having Baby Zia

Among the many things the Kapuso Primetime couple had to sacrifice when they became parents to their daughter Zia was their "lovey-dovey time". In a recent interview with Pep.ph, Dingdong revealed that to this day, the couple still co-sleeps with their daughter. Marian told Good Housekeeping Philippines that it's hard because she's still breastfeeding Zia so she sleeps between her husband and her daughter. "Pero, usually, deadma ako kay Dong, nasa anak ko pa rin ako. Then, ‘pag tulog na si Zia, aarte na ako sa asawa ko. Kaso gigising na naman anak ko, ayan na naman ako. So 'di kami makatulog! Kulang na lang ibulagta ko sarili ko para sa kanilang dalawa," she quipped. Still, Marian is thankful that Dingdong has embraced the changes in their relationship and proudly posts on social media praise for his wife. (pep.ph)

A day after the 21-year-old actor ranted against his dad Cesar Montano via posts on his Instagram account that have since been deleted, Diego had received a lot of messages of support from family. "You have been a great brother to us Kuya Diego, you don't deserve this. The three of us and mom [Sunshine Cruz] are here for you no matter what," Angelina commented on Instagram. "Stay strong kuya Diego. Remember, we're always here for you," wrote Samantha. Sunshine and Diego's mom Teresa Loyzaga also liked the comments that showed support for the young actor. Aside from liking positive comments, Sunshine also expressed her support for Diego publicly. "Of course, as his tita and as someone close to him, siyempre malungkot ako sa nangyayari. I’m really very worried about him. Pero in touch naman ako with Teresa. I'm just here to support him. Nandito kami, nagmamahal sa kanya," she told Pep.ph. She, however, declined to comment on the issues raised by Diego. "I guess, lahat ng tao may hangganan," Sunshine added.

Regine Velasquez thankful for Michelle Van Eimeren's trust

These days, actress and Asia's Songbird is a mom of two. Aside from her and Ogie Alcasid's four-year-old son Nate, Regine is also mom to Ogie and his ex-wife Michelle Van Eimeren's eldest daughter Leila -- at least while she's here in the country. Regine shared that Leila wanted to take a break from school and spend time with her family here. "Ibinilin siya sa akin ng nanay niya, sobrang tina-trust ako ng nanay niya. And I’m so flattered, I’m thankful," she said. "Sabi [ni Michelle], 'Ikaw ang nanay niya pag nandiyan na siya sa Philippines.' So, I feel very happy, not really pressured," Regine added. But since Leila is already 18 years old, Regine says she gets to be her mom "without the responsibility of childhood." Aside from spending playtime with Nate, whom Leila adores so much, she doesn't mind his pangungulit, "lagi kaming magkasama. Dumudugo ang ilong ko, pero bonding talaga kami. Mahilig kasi kaming manood ng series, at 'yung mga type ko ay type rin niya," Regine said. (pep.ph)
