There have been constant talks of Marian and Dingdong planning to get married this year. But for her part, in an interview with press during her contract signing with Talk ‘N Text last week, Marian said she would want to focus on her career first.

“Trabaho muna. Ang daming oportunindad,” Marian said when asked if she’s already planning to settle down with Dingdong.

“Kaya nauudlot, tanong kayo nang tanong,” the Kapuso actress said in jest.

Dingdong himself is on a roll when it comes to his career. His GMA-7 primetime show “Genesis” will premiere next week. His movie “She’s The One,” which also stars Bea Alonzo, will also premiere soon.

“She’s The One” is Dingdong’s third movie with Star Cinema, following “Segunda Mano” and “One More Try.”

“Nagkataon lang talaga na swerte lang dahil sa unang pelikula ko na ginawa ko (with Star Cinema), nabuksan nang buksan yung opportunities,” he said.

Dingdong hopes other Kapuso stars get the opportunity to work with Kapamilya artists, and vice versa.

“Syempre, we can explore each other’s talents kung saan man. We can maximize everyone’s talents,” he said.
