Marian Rivera was born on August 12, 1984 in Madrid, Spain to Fransisco Gracia and Amalia Rivera. Her mother, Amalia a Filipina, is working as an airport attendant in London, UK; Her father, Fransisco a Spaniard, is a restaurateur. Her parents separated while Marian was at the age of two, so with her mother in London, and her father in Spain, she lived with Grandmother, Lola Fransisca Rivera, in Bayanan, Bacoor, Cavite, who became Marian's designated gaurdian and the one who helped Marian grow up to be the respected woman she is today. Even if Marian's parents separated, the young actress still managed to keep in constant contact with both her mother and her father. They both try their best to support their one and only daughter financially. Marian's parents have already found different life partners, but she still remains an only child.
Marian made it anannual trip to visit her father's side of the family in Spain, but stopped once she entered college. In college Marian took up B.S. Psychology at La Salle University in Dasmarinas, Cavite. Her Favorite subjects were logic and Filipino Psychology. Not
only did God give, Marian the gift of intelligence, but he had also blessed her with flawless beauty. Marian used this to her advantage and began small-time ramp modeling to earn some money of her own. Even if she stood at Five Feet and Four Inches tall, Marian did not let that stop her and she continued Ramp Modeling. Marian's flawless beauty began to attract talent scouts, who offered for her to appear in ads and commercials, which she gladly accepted. Her First two commercials were for Skin White and Skyflakes

Marian Rivera Dancing Skill:
Marian's luck did not stop there. It seems like she was on fire, in 2008 because of her dancing skills, she made her own dance album and was named "The Hottest Dance Senorita." Because of her beauty and her charming personality Marian Rivera easily found her way into the spot light not only on prime time TV, but also on the covers of magazines and in commercials.
Marian Rivera Popular Ads and Movies :
She is now known to be the highest paid endorser in the Philippines; from Sunsilk, to Bench, Karimadon and even Louis Vuitton. Her movie with Richard Gutierrez, BFGF, became a certified Box Office Hit, and Marimar held the #1 spot in the Mega Manila ratings from beginning until the end; it even was able to nab the #1 spot in the NUTAM ratings in February 2008, with 36.9%. The last day of Marimar was on March 14, 2008 with a record breaking 52.6% beating the 52.1% of the legendary Darna fantaserye, played by Angel Locsin, which use to hold the record for the highest rated show on prime time TV.
As of today Marian Rivera is still working hard and is yet to reach more success in her life, because even if Marimar is nothing but a memory to us now, she has a new fantaserye comming out this April 2008, where she will be partnered again with Mr. Dingdong Dantes, because their love team is such a hit. Her new fantaserye is Dyesebel, the legendary mermaid character originally created by Mars Ravelos. She is currently in training for her new role and I'm sure that it will be a hit, just like Marimar. Not only does she have a new fantaserye comming but she has another movie in the making, which is titled Amnesia, where she will be in a love trianle with her current leading man Mr. Dingdong Dantes, and Dong's former love team partner, Ms. Iza Calcado.
With everything that Marian has been through, the ups and the downs, she has proven to all that she is truly deserving of all the blessings god has given her, and even if she is the biggest star of GMA7 right now, she has not let the lime light go to her head and is very humble, down to earth, and is still the same Marian Rivera that her family loves and cares for.
