Kapuso Primetime Queen Marian Rivera has addressed circulating rumors about her alleged transfer to ABS-CBN, responding with a lighthearted emoji that suggests she is not taking the speculation seriously.
Talk of Rivera possibly leaving GMA Network recently gained traction online, with claims that the actress had received a “good offer” from the Kapamilya network. The rumors were further fueled by reports that she and her husband, Dingdong Dantes, may be working on a new project under Star Cinema, following the success of their 2023 film ‘Rewind’.
However, when asked directly about the issue, Rivera reportedly replied with a “face with stuck out tongue and tightly-closed eyes” emoji—often interpreted as playful or teasing—leading many to believe she was simply laughing off the speculation.
Rivera, who has been with GMA Network for decades, is currently seen on ‘Dance with the Stars’, where she is said to enjoy the lighter schedule compared to more demanding acting projects. Despite this, reports suggest that the actress remains open to doing a new series, provided the project meets her standards.
Sources also note that Rivera has been selective with her work in recent years, prioritizing time with her family as her children with Dantes grow older.
While she has previously expressed willingness to collaborate with ABS-CBN on projects, Rivera has consistently maintained her loyalty to GMA Network, the network that helped shape her career. As of now, there is no confirmation that Rivera is transferring networks, and her recent response appears to downplay the rumors surrounding her supposed move.
