Marian Rivera On How She Feels About The Hot Love Team Of Alden Richards And Maine Mendoza

MARIAN RIVERA was feted by GMA-7 in a solo presscon for her comeback in showbiz after giving birth to Baby Zia. “Parang naninibago ako,” she says as she sits down on the presidential table. “Hindi na ako sanay.”

So how is it to be a mom? “Sobrang saya, hindi mo maikukumpara to anything else. Naging kumpleto ang pagkatao ko, ang pagkababae ko. Hands on ako, e. Wala kaming yaya. Breastfed siya sa’kin. Pag umaalis ako, nagpa-pump ako at iniiwan ko para may madede siya. Naiiwan siya sa mommy ko at sa lola ko, o kaya sa mommy ni Dong. Mas kampante kasi ako kung kamag-anak ang napag-iiwanan ko.”

And how’s Dong as a husband? “Wala akong mairereklamo. Napaka-supportive niya sa akin. Tinutulungan niya kong magpaligo. Kung may trabaho siya, kapag break time, kahit malayo, uuwi yan para lang makita ang baby namin. Kung minsan, mas matagal pa yung travel time niya dahil sa traffic kaysa sa time na ini-stay niya with Baby Zia. Very responsible dad.”

She’ll be back in “Sunday Pinasaya” this Sunday. She’s ready to do dance numbers again. “Pero gusto ko, paghandaan munang mabuti at hindi yung masabi lang nagsayaw ako ng one-two step.”

A talk show about her experiences as wife and homemaker is also being prepared for her. “I look forward to that. Meron ding inihahandang show for us ni Dong but later pa siguro. Meantime, I agreed to do the role of Inang Reyna in the remake of ‘Encantadia’ (originally played by Dawn Zulueta), basta half day lang ako magte-taping. May cut off ako, kasi ayokong malayo ako nang matagal sa baby ko.”

What can she say that her leading man in “Carmela”, Alden Richards, is now so hot? “I’m so happy for him kasi he really deserves it dahil mabait naman talaga si Alden. Nagtiyaga siya, nagsikap, ayan, nagbunga ang puno at kinakain na niya ang prutas. Hindi siya nagmadali at nag-shine siya sa tamang panahon.”

She has met Maine Mendoza at the GMA trade show. “Nakakatuwa kasi, nang dumating ako, wala na siya, pero bumalik siya at ayun, ang dami naming napag-usapan. Hindi pa siya sanay sa showbiz at nasa-shock pa pag sobrang dami ng tao. Sabi ko sa kanya, just enjoy it. Basta good vibes lang. Maging masaya tayo sa nagiging achievements nila ni Alden.”
