POWER OF TWO: THE SUPER COUPLES!

Love teams command a great number of following in Philippine showbiz. A few years back, it was Kimerald that took the fandom by storm. Today, Kathniel is undisputedly the most popular onscreen loveteam.

If there is love for reel, there is also love for real in showbiz. It feeds the fans' imagination even more, eliciting crazed adulation.

In Hollywood, they are known as the super couples or power couples. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are theBrangelina. When Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were dating, they were called Bennifer, and that moniker may still apply to Ben and present partner Jennifer Garner. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes used to be Tomkat. These are superstars who share love and romance with superstars.

While such portmanteau is not popular here in the Philippines, we also have some celebrity couples who we can call as power couples. Their relationships are aspirational for the fans, and they prove that love can exist under the glaring limelight. When we look at these couples, it seems that one complements the other.

So, based on their careers, endorsements and social media stardom, PEP compiles a list of arguably the most famous power couples of Philippine showbiz.

Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera are two of GMA-7's biggest stars.

Their onscreen love team in GMA's remake of the Mexican telenovela Marimar paved the way for DongYan. The show did not only establish Marian as a big star, it also brought the two together in a real love story fraught with controversy in the beginning.

But the couple have shown through the years that their love is meant to last, and Dingdong proved it when he proposed marriage to Marian in her weekly dance show.

Their primetime shows consistently garnered high ratings, and both have a number of big endorsements. Marian herself has made it to YES! List of top celebrity endorsers many times.
