Jessa Zaragoza and Dingdong Avanzado, one of the most successful couples in the OPM industry, were well-known long before they made the decision to be married in 2001 and start a family. Jayda Avanzado, an actress and singer, is the couple’s only child, and they are both proud parents. However, their relationship was not without mystery when they first started dating, as Jessa mentioned in her most recent social media post on March 18.
On their silver wedding anniversary, the couple’s friends also wished them well. In the post’s comments area, celebrities including Ogie Alcasid, VIna Morales, Gladys Reyes, Sunshine Cruz, Randy Santiago, and Regine Tolentino sent messages for Jessa and Dingdong.
In a 2024 media interview, Dingdong revealed the key to his enduring union with Jessa.
The 57-year-old singer, who is well-known for hits like “Ikaw Lamang,” “Tatlong Beinte Singko,” and “Basta’t Kasama Kita,” also mentioned how crucial it is to avoid becoming overly possessive of one’s life partner.
In addition to reuniting with Pinoy composer Vehnee Saturno for the first time in over ten years, Jessa released the single “Ang Sakit Sakit” last year. Along with her spouse, Jessa is still involved in the OPM scene as the voice of traditional Pinoy karaoke hits like “Bakit Pa,” “Di Ba’t Ikaw,” and “Paano Kaya.” The couple’s “Sa Aking Puso: The Panghabangbuhay US Tour 2026” will begin this month with a number of performances in US states like Michigan and California.
The couple credits their enduring marriage to open communication, faith, and family values. Both emphasize that their three children have been a source of joy and inspiration, motivating them to keep their relationship strong despite the demands of showbiz.
To mark their 25th anniversary, Jessa and Dingdong hosted an intimate celebration with close family and friends. Photos shared on social media showed a cozy, heartfelt gathering filled with music, laughter, and nostalgia, reflecting their decades-long journey together.
On social media, fans and other celebrities congratulated the couple and praised their love story as an illustration of dedication in both marriage and life.
