The actress gave fans a glimpse of the event through her Instagram page on Monday, April 17. The party featured pastel balloons, cutouts of characters and a three-tier cake inspired by the animated film.
“Happy 4th Birthday, Six. We love you so much, my sweet baby boy!” she greeted her son.

Dantes, for his part, showed his birthday gift for Sixto, a wooden Pinocchio toy, through the actor’s Instagram page as well.
“Celebrating Sixto’s 4th birthday with a special surprise—Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio! This wooden toy (from old ipil), carved by our talented sculptor friend Charming Baldemor, has quickly become one of his favorites,” he stated.
“Just like how I watched Superman 2 countless times in the 80s, Sixto has seen this movie about 20 times already!” he added. “It’s amazing how stories and characters like Pinocchio are timeless and carry valuable lessons. Here’s to a birthday filled with imagination, wonder, and lots of playtime with this special gift!”
Rivera and Dantes, who got married in a Spanish romance-themed church ceremony in 2014, welcomed Zia in 2015 and Sixto in 2019. /ra
