Snooky Serna was taken aback when Elizabeth Oropesa confessed to her that she has a child with actor Dante Rivero.
“Dante is the only man in my life that belongs to the showbiz world. Siya lang, walang iba,” Elizabeth candidly shared in an interview on Snooky’s YouTube channel.
When Snooky inquired if Dante was her great love, Elizabeth affirmed, “Of course, we have one son.”
Explaining her past reluctance to share such personal details, Elizabeth said, “Yeah, hindi lang ako kasi madaldal. Noong araw kasi, hindi uso ‘yung… wala naman social media. And then you don’t normally talk about your personal life before.”
Their son, who is about to turn 40, maintains an amicable relationship with both Elizabeth and Dante.
This revelation sheds light on a love story that had been kept under wraps for many years. Elizabeth Oropesa and Dante Rivero met in the 1970s, beginning a romantic relationship that was shielded from the public eye. It wasn’t until 2002 that Oropesa publicly disclosed the existence of their son, named Gabriel.
