Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes’s firstborn transformed into a real-life superstar during her birthday party, which was filled with singing and dancing. Unknown to Zia, she would be receiving a birthday gift from one of her biggest idols.
In a Facebook video posted by Marian, their 9-year-old daughter was seen unboxing a huge box. As she opened it, she was filled with shock and happiness upon discovering the gifts were from Olivia Rodrigo.
“I know what this is,” Zia said as she unboxed her gifts. Upon realizing that the surprise was from the Filipino-American superstar, she became emotional and immediately hugged her mother.
“I love you Olivia Rodrigo,” she exclaimed, looking very excited as she received a shirt, a tumbler, and a message from the multi-award-winning singer-songwriter
To express her gratitude to the Vampire singer and to document her daughter’s birthday celebration, the 40-year-old actress wrote a heartfelt message.
“Thank you so much, Olivia Rodrigo! Ate Z is so happy with your gift. No wonder so many people admire and love you. Zia loves you soooooo much.”
Meanwhile, Dingdong Dantes celebrated his daughter’s 9th birthday on Instagram through two separate posts. The first post is a photo of Zia wearing swimming gear while the second post is a heartwarming video that showcases his bond with her through the years.

This is not the first time we’ve seen Zia fangirling over Olivia Rodrigo. Back in October, Marian Rivera shared an Instagram reel where the American pop star waved back at her daughter during her “GUTS” tour concert in Manila.
