A Rooster For A Birthday, Sixto’s Simple Request Melts Hearts Online
SIXTO DANTES – Fans and netizens were delighted by a heartwarming and unique birthday surprise shared by celebrity couple Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes for their son, Sixto, who recently celebrated his 7th birthday.
In a social media post on Wednesday, April 15, Marian gave followers a glimpse of their family celebration by posting photos of Sixto happily blowing out candles on his birthday cake. What caught the attention of many, however, was the unusual gift he was holding—a rooster.
According to Marian, Sixto had a simple yet unexpected request for his special day. Instead of toys or gadgets, he asked for a pet chicken. The Kapuso Primetime Queen shared her heartfelt message along with the photos, expressing her joy in fulfilling their son’s wish.
“On your 7th birthday, Sixto, you wished for something simple yet special—a pet chicken. Today, we’re so happy to grant your wish. Happy birthday, our love,” said Marian.
The post quickly went viral, earning various reactions from amused and entertained netizens. Many found Sixto’s birthday wish both adorable and refreshing, especially in a time when children are often drawn to digital devices and more conventional gifts. Others praised Marian and Dingdong for supporting their child’s interests, no matter how unconventional they may seem.
Sixto, whose full name is Jose Sixto G. Dantes IV, was born in 2019 and is the youngest child of the celebrity couple, popularly known as DongYan. Their firstborn, Maria Letizia, or “Zia,” was born in 2015 and has also captured the hearts of fans through the years.
The family has often shared snippets of their life on social media, showing a balance between their showbiz careers and hands-on parenting. This recent birthday celebration once again highlighted their close family bond and their effort to create meaningful experiences for their children.
With a simple “pet chicken,” Sixto’s birthday became a memorable and widely talked-about moment online, proving that sometimes, the most unique wishes bring the greatest joy.
