Marian Rivera recently talked about her experience filming with her husband Dingdong Dantes. The couple spent almost a month in Quebec, Canada to shoot scenes for the much anticipated follow-up to their blockbuster 2023 Metro Manila Film Festival entry Rewind.
Now back in the country, Marian shared an update on the film, Remember, while attending the 2026 Preview Ball held last September 10 at the Marriott Grand Ballroom in Pasay City.
“Five shooting days na lang, matatapos na kami. Nakakakilig siya kasi ibang tema naman mararamdaman ng mga tao. Yun naman ang palagi naming priority eh. Na kapag nanuod ka ng pelikulang ito, ano bang maibibigay mo pag lumabas sila? So this time sabi ko nga, kung hindi ka naniniwala sa magic, this time maniniwala ka, dahil kailangan at nararapat,” she said.

Marian also shared that working on the project also gave her and Dingdong more couple time as their kids Zia and Sixto were not there during their stay.
“Almost mag-iisang buwan talaga kami dun. Maraming bonding moments kasi si Joross (Gamboa) ang kulit eh! (laughs) Alam mo yun. Siguro time din naming mag-asawa na parang feeling namin work pero this time kasi, parang first time namin lang ulit na makaalis na kaming dalawa lang, na hindi namin kasama yung mga kids. So nagkaroon kami ng mga maliit na moment kahit na nag-shu-shooting kami. At least, alam mo yung feeling na mag-girlfriend, boyfriend kayo kasi nga kayong dalawa lang. So ang daming mga good memories,” she recalled.
Even while out of the country, Marian admitted that she could not help but still be hands on with the household duties during their stay in Quebec.
“Kumabaga sa bahay, minsan pag busy ako hindi na ako nakakapagluto, pero sa Quebec, nagluluto ako, naglalaba uli ako kasi kami-kami lang yung nandun (laughs). Wala kaming ibang kasama. Parang nagawa ko yung, alam mong single ako na ipinagluluto ko siya, maglalaba ako, maglilinis ako ng bahay namin. So yung mga ganung moments,” she added.

After making an appearance at this year’s Preview Ball, Marian shared that she was there to show support for her longtime stylist Melville Sy, who was hailed as part of the magazine’s Best Dressed list.
“Kasi 12 years together na kami. Siguro being transparent to each other yung secret. Siguro maganda na nagkakaintindihan kami sa mga bagay na gusto ko gawin at nandiyan siya to support. At saka ang maganda kasi kay Mel nakikinig siya. Pag may mga suggestion ako, talagang open siya. At siguro isa sa pinaka gusto ko sa kanya, pag tinitingnan ko siya, hindi siya nauubusan (ng interes na) mag-aral ng mga bagay-bagay para mas matuto siya. Hindi siya nakukuntento na this is the trend kaya uto ang gagawin natin. Kaya nakakabilib. Kasi sa galing niyang yan, nag-aaral pa siya para mas matuto para hindi lang siguro sa akin, kundi sa lahat ng alaga niya,” she explained.
