Anna Gianelli Yap de Belen-Rivera (born May 25, 1973), more commonly known as Gelli de Belen, is a Filipina actress and television host.
She is known for her role as a host of SiS, a daytime television program that ran on GMA Network from 2001 to 2010, making it the longest running morning talk show in the Philippines.[citation needed]
Early life[]
The younger sister of actress and television presenter Janice de Belen, she began her career in show business at the age of 8.[1][2] Her mother was heavily involved in her early career (where she was often included on set for tapings and shootings), and as a result, her reputation developed alongside Gelli De Belen's career.[3]
Personal life[]
De Belen married Filipino recording artist and actor Ariel Rivera in 1997.[4] Together they have two children: Joaquín Andrés (born January 29, 1999) and Julio Alessandro (born November 6, 2000).[4]
On March 19, 2016, her mother Susan de Belen died of cardiac arrest at the age of 67.[5] In an interview with the Philippine Entertainment Portal, Gelli De Belen expressed how she felt, saying “I mean, of course, it hurts. My mom was only sixty-seven. [...] But at some point, it's not your decision, it's not your call anymore."[3]
As of 2019, Gelli De Belen and her immediate family currently reside primarily in Canada.[4]
Awards[]
Her role in the film Gagay: Prinsesa ng brownout earned her a nomination for Best Actress at the 1993 Manila Film Festival.[6] In 1995, De Belen won the Gawad Urian Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of Sarah Jane Salazar in the movie The Secrets of Sarah Jane: Sana'y Mapatawad Mo, a biographical film about AIDS activist Sarah Jane Salazar.[6][7]
