This Easter, celebrity couple Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera traded the glitz of showbiz for a quiet moment of reflection in the heart of Japan. The Kapuso stars, along with their children Zia and Sixto, spent the holiday nestled under a tree in Ohori Park, Fukuoka—ushering in the season of hope with a heartfelt family ritual that left a lasting impression.

While the Dantes family’s picturesque Easter getaway may have caught the eye, it was their intimate practice of writing down ā€œwish listsā€ that truly captured hearts. More than a simple tradition, this ritual—one the couple has shared for years—was made extra special as it was the first time their children took part in it.

ā€œIt’s a ritual Marian and I have quietly kept for years—writing down our dreams and intentions before each new year begins,ā€ Dingdong shared on Instagram. ā€œBut this time, we brought the kids in.ā€

The family sat under the spring sky, with cherry blossoms in full bloom, turning a tranquil spot by the lake into a space for reflection and connection. Instead of toys or travel, their children’s wish lists were filled with simple yet profound hopesā€”ā€œtime together,ā€ ā€œmore presence,ā€ ā€œtaking care of one another,ā€ and ā€œhelping others.ā€

Dingdong and Marian were deeply moved. ā€œIt made us pause,ā€ the actor wrote. ā€œBecause sometimes, in the middle of all the doing and chasing, you forget what’s already here.ā€

Indeed, this moment served as a quiet reminder of the blessings they already have—a grounded life filled with love, faith, and togetherness. On a day marked by resurrection and renewal, the family found themselves embracing values that transcend material things.

ā€œWhat a meaningful day to be reminded of that—on Easter, a day of resurrection, reflection, and hope,ā€ Dingdong added.

The couple’s Easter celebration stands as a refreshing contrast to the often whirlwind pace of celebrity life. In choosing simplicity, Dingdong and Marian highlighted what many families are rediscovering today: that the most valuable moments are often the quiet ones spent with loved ones, away from distractions.

Their story—shared through candid snapshots and heartfelt words—resonated with fans, not just because of their celebrity status, but because of the authenticity of the moment.

Dingdong and Marian, who married in 2014, have built a family life that balances public life with intentional parenting. Through traditions like this, they continue to instill timeless values in their children, crafting memories that go beyond the pages of a wish list.

As spring unfolds in Japan, so too does the gentle reminder from the Dantes family—that in the midst of chasing goals, sometimes the most important thing we can do is pause, be present, and hold close what matters most.
