Heart Evangelista gave a congratulatory message to Marian Rivera as the latter marked her comeback on GMA primetime. 

In a video uploaded on GMA Network’s Instagram, the style icon remarked that Rivera is back “to where she belongs” as the Queen of Primetime following her television return with “My Guardian Alien.”

“It gives me so much pleasure to congratulate you, Madam Marian, because finally after many many years, you are back where you belong, on GMA Prime. From my heart to yours, congratulations and welcome back, Queen on Primetime,” said Evangelista. 

Rivera returned the love and expressed her appreciation in the comments section by simply writing, “Awwww, @iamhearte [kissy face emoji].”

The Kapuso stars have recently reconciled following their longstanding “feud,” as they were spotted talking and hugging each other last December 2023 during the birthday bash of GMA Network Chairman and CEO Atty. Felipe L. Gozon. 

Since then, Evangelista and Rivera have been following each other on Instagram and were seen interacting in the comment section of each other’s posts. They have also talked about each other openly in interviews. 

“Marian and I, we’ve always liked each other. And it’s a true testament that queens should always be supporting each other. Because real queens support each other. It’s a testament that it’s really the people around us that makes things bad. To begin with, we’ve always been okay,” Evangelista said at the time.

Rivera will headline the science fiction drama “My Guardian Alien” opposite Gabby Conception as she tackles the role of an alien with a disposition of a loving mother.

Directed by Zig Dulay, “My Guardian Alien” also features Max Collins, Gabby Eigenmann, Raphael Landicho, Kiray Celis, Arnold Reyes, Tanya Gomez, Caitlyn Stave, Josh Ford, Sean Lucas, Tart Carlos, Christian Antolin, Kirst Viray, and Marissa Delgado.

“My Guardian Alien” premiered its debut episode on April 1 and will air every weekday night on GMA.
