When the 24-year-old Ara Arida was asked by host Karen Davila about her current suitor and to clarify the rumors that Marian’s former boyfriend was courting her, she replied affirmatively by stating, “Yes,” although she did not mention the name of the suitor.

The rumors linking to Marian Rivera’s ex-boyfriend came to light right now after the confirmation made by Ariella Arida. Based upon Marian’s previous relationship, she was formerly involved in a romantic relationship with Ervic Vijandre, Marian’s boyfriend for eight years.
Ervic Vijandre broke up with Marian Rivera way back the year 2009. In an interview with entertainment site Pep.Ph, Ervic revealed that he has been wooing Ara Arida before she won the Miss Universe Philippines crown.
The 27-year-old Ervic Vijandre is a former basketball player before breaking into the modeling and acting industry. He was the former second runner-up of Survivor Philippines: Celebrity Showdown, behind ultimate winner Akihiro Sato.
Ervic is part of GMA’s Bitoy Henyo that ended it’s TV run last September 20, 2013 and the current “Kahit Nasaan Ka Man” playing the role of Benjo.
