Dingdong Dantes is ready to have more kids with Marian Rivera

Baby Zia is barely a year old but the doting dad is looking forward to having more kids!

His firstborn Baby Zia is barely a year old but doting dad Dingdong Dantes is ready to have more kids with wife, Marian Rivera.

In a recent interview with PEP, the 36-year-old actor said he’s looking to having as many kids as they’ll be blessed with.

“Wala sa aming mga kamay yun, e, pero kung gugustuhin, gusto.”

“Kung kailan ibigay!” he said, laughing, adding that it’s ultimately out of their hands. “Wala sa aming mga kamay yun, e, pero kung gugustuhin, gusto. To make it happen, para maging reality, wala naman talaga sa aming mga kamay yun.”

Who says play school is only for the young? ????

He also revealed that their goal has always been to have a big family, even before they tied the knot.

“Pero goal naman talaga namin na magkaroon ng maraming anak. Kaya bago pa kami ikasal, yun na ang pinagkasunduan namin.”

She kinda likes what she’s seeing. #FirstDadsDay @rudyprojectph #RudyGuru

He also shared in the same interview that Marian is more hands-on than him when it comes to caring for their baby girl. “Most of the work is being done by Marian. Support group lang ako,” he reveals. “Kung makakapagsalita lang ang bata, alam niya ang hirap ng mga magulang sa pagpapalaki.”

“Kaya excited na rin kaming makita siyang lumaki,” said the devoted dad.

They plan to spend the holidays in Spain, so Zia can visit her grandpa (Marian’s dad), who’s based there, but they have to get their little one a visa first.

Everyday delight. #MariaLetizia

Though they’re two of the most in-demand actors in the industry, they both prioritize being parents over anything else.

“Siguro, bilang mga magulang, habang bata pa, siya na muna,” shared the dad.

We can’t wait to see this beautiful celebrity family grow even more!

Earlier this year, Dingdong shared this precious family photo with the caption: “I think my neck and shoulders could accommodate 3 more little ones.”

I think my neck n shoulders could accommodate 3 more little ones. #FirstDadsDay
