Dingdong denies cheating on Marian

ACTOR Dingdong Dantes denied rumors that he is cheating on long-time girlfriend Marian Rivera, saying their relationship is even getting stronger.

Dingdong is being linked to television personality and model Isabelle Daza.

But in a StarTalk interview, Dingdong dismissed rumors and reaffirmed his close ties with Marian.

"We're very okay. In fact, we've never been this happy. Confident kami sa relationship namin and we are stronger now than we were before," the actor said.

Isabelles's mother -- former beauty queen Gloria Diaz -- also denied the rumors.

"I haven't seen any flowers at home, or any chocolates. Diba dapat ako muna ang liligawan? Wala pa naman akong nare-received na flowers and chocolate so baka hindi totoo," she said.

She added that her daughter doesn't "steal" someone's boyfriend and doesn't need anyone to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry.

"She's not the type to ever get somebody else's boyfriend. Hindi siya yung tipo na ganun, yung nag-aagaw. Belle is very wholesome, sporty," she said.

She admitted that Dingdong and Isabelle met once in an event but believes there is nothing special going on between them. (Sunnex)
