Marian on Sheena’s 'pregnancy': It’s my fault

Young GMA Artist Center's Sheena Halili is rumored to be pregnant and Marian Rivera said she should be blamed.

"Kasi lagi ako nagdadala ng hilaw na mangga with bagoong sa set (of their Sunday show, GMA’s "Tweets for My Sweet"). Sarap na sarap kami sa set kumakain nito. Hayun, akala nila siguro buntis o naglilihi na si Sheena," Marian told members of the entertainment press who visited her on the set of "My Beloved" at Sta. Ana church on June 1.

She adds, "Sheena texted me, sabi niya 'Ate, kaloka nababalitang buntis daw ako!' Worried daw siya kasi marami siyang kamag-anak sa probinsya na nagtatanong kung totoong buntis siya. Sabi ko naman tawanan mo na lang, alam mo naman na hindi totoo, maglalaho din ang tsismis na yan. Ako nga nakailang buntis issue na ako pero sampung taon na di pa naman lumalabas, ha ha ha!"

Marian was about to shoot a wedding scene with real-life boyfriend and “My Beloved” co-star Dingdong Dantes that afternoon.

"Yes, ikakasal na naman kami ni Dong (Dingdong),” Marian gleefully said. "Actually, mula nung nag-partner kami ni Dong, wala na kaming ginawa kundi magpakasal. Pati sa movies namin. Kailangan talaga yata sa soap opera may wedding na magaganap para masaya."

But what about their real wedding?

"Hay naku, matagal pa yan, marami pa kami dapat gawin, dami pa kaming trabaho, marami pa dapat i-consider," Marian answered.

Marian said she was hoping to go on vacation after her previous TV project ("Amaya") but "My Beloved" came along and was aired earlier than planned.

"Akala ko after 'Amaya,' makakapahinga ako pero nagkarun ng panibagong project kaagad. Blessing pa rin ito for which I am very grateful lalo na magkasama pa kami ni Dong. Marami talagang blessing dito, like nakatrabaho ko sina Jennica Garcia at si Tita Nova (Villa) among others. Para sa akin, grab lang grab kapag may project na dumarating. Saka na ang pahinga."

New York-bound

That much-needed vacation is finally taking shape. After taping episodes of "Tweet for my Sweet" and her last scenes for "My Beloved," Marian will join Dingdong (who flew to New York for the Philippine Independence Day celebration there) for two shows in Canada. "Baka two weeks kami mawawala so kahit papaano makakapahinga na rin. Inggit nga ako kay Dong kasi may New York pa siya."

Marian stressed, "Dapat namnamin ko talaga ang trip na ito kasi whenwe come back, sigurado ko, mapapasabak na naman kami sa trabaho." She has no definite project yet but "pagbalik ko, GMA will discuss with me some forthcoming projects."
