Dingdong Dantes denied recent rumors that he and Marian Rivera are living under one roof.

In an interview, the actor expressed shock over the matter, adding that he is not about to take his relationship with the actress to such a level.

"We're concentrating on our careers," Dingdong said.

What Dingdong readily admits is how special Marian is to him.

“Mas importante pa siya sa importante…hindi [lang] siya pambahay, panghimpapawid, [kundi] panghabangbuhay.”

Their respective careers are doing great. Marian will star in the new version of “Darna,” the popular Pinoy super heroine, while Dingdong will topbill “Stairway to Heaven,” a Koreanovela adapted to a Filipino setting.

Dingdong said that he has already bought Marian a gift for her birthday on August 12. Although he refuses to divulge details, he said it’s something Marian would appreciate.

Last Christmas, Dingdong received an Omega watch from Marian. In return, Dingdong gifted the Darna star an expensive bracelet. They admit calling each other Yummy and Daddy.
