A blind item that has been circulating online claims that although a supposed "power couple" seems happy in public, things are different behind closed doors. Cheating was also alleged against the man in the blind item.

On the online showbiz show "Marites University,” Rose Garcia, a longtime friend of Rivera and Dantes, discussed the actress' response to the blind item.
Garcia shared, "I messaged Yan (Marian). I said, 'I'm sure you're aware of the blind item where you and Dong are mentioned in the comments section.’”
Rivera then called Garcia to say hello and also answer the blind item.
Garcia said, “She (Marian) said, 'Ate, jusme. What are those blind items?'”
“It's like they're used to it because it seems like every year, especially in January, there's always that kind of thing," explained Garcia.
Last December 30, Rivera and Dantes celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary. Prior to this, the couple shared several photos of themselves and their children, Zia and Sixto, throughout the Christmas and New Year holidays.
