Adriana Rivera and her husband, Dingdong Dantes, were the showstoppers for the evening as they proudly claimed the Couple Of The Night award.

Despite being 38, she effortlessly flaunts her smooth skin and youthful charm. Complementing her perfectly was the dashing DingDong Dantes, who is always applauded for his handsome looks. Together, they make up the most adorable couple in the entire country.
Their love story is as beautiful as they are. After being together for 11 long years and having two wonderful children – Zia and Sixto, they still exhibit the same fiery passion they had when their love was just blooming. Flaunting their love, the couple even shared a sweet kiss at the event, making everyone label them as the king and queen of the party.
