Kasi dalawa &#x27;yung anak ko, si Dong, ako, ngayon kung magbe-baby pa ulit ako, kaya ko bang hatiin ang katawan ko na lahat kayo ay magagampanan ko ng 100 percent,&quot; the actress said.Dingdong, however, playfully reassured her, even jokingly offering to ease her concerns. &quot;Sabi niya sige &#x27;yung akin balato ko na dun sa bunso basta bigyan mo pa ako. So may mga ganung jokean kaming dalawa,&quot; she relayed.While the couple&#x27;s conversations around having another child remain filled with playful banter, Marian clarified there are no concrete plans yet. &quot;Sabi ni Dong kung ano &#x27;yung nasa puso mo hindi kita pipilitin but if you will ask me I want one more,&quot; she stated.<div> </div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-17" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DD9uUDqT7pc/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=506&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A17%2C%22os%22%3A7763820.299999952%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="746" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-17" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script>In the same interview, Marian also opened up about the moment she realized Dingdong was &quot;the one.&quot;&quot;Nung una hindi talaga pero habang nagtatagal at &#x27;pag nagkaka-edad ka na kasi parang hindi kasi ako &#x27;yung tipong tao na ma-fling eh...

Bigyan Mo ako ng nararapat para sa akin,&#x27;&quot; she recounted.The very next day, Dingdong arrived bringing flowers, which was an occurrence Marian saw as an unmistakable sign.&quot;Pero after niyan, wala na, kinabukasan nagpakita siya sa akin may dala siyang bulaklak sabi ko, &#x27;Lord, sign na ba ito?&#x27; Dere-derecho na,&quot; she recounted.Another pivotal moment came when Dingdong insisted on meeting her grandmother in Cavite.&quot;Hanggang sinabi ni Dong sa akin, pwede ba kitang puntahan sa Cavite, gusto ko makilala &#x27;yung lola mo?&#x27; So &#x27;yun na.
