CEBU, Philippines - There is a common misconception that there is only one person who can fulfill all our needs. However, others believe that every person is capable of loving many people on varying levels and intensity at the same time, and each person can fulfill a need that others can’t.
This June, GMA Network is again innovating primetime television fare as it presents “Ang Dalawang Mrs. Real,†an intriguing and relatable story of a man marrying two women and loving them both equally at the same time. More than just another drama that highlights infidelity or unfaithfulness in relationships, the series aims to show the viewers the real consequences and the changes in the life of the betrayer and the betrayed –that there are no victors and everyone is affected to the point that even loved ones will take sides. The series premieres this Monday, June 2, replacing “Rhodora X†on GMA Telebabad.
This drama project will showcase the undeniable chemistry of the three multi-awarded artists Primetime King Dingdong Dantes as Anthony Real; Premier Drama Actress Lovi Poe as Shiela Salazar-Real; and the Diamond Star Ms. Maricel Soriano as Millet Gonzales-Real which will surely captivate viewers as they exemplify riveting performances.

She is willing to do anything for her family and most especially for her husband Anthony. However, her world will be turned upside down when she finds out that there is also another Mrs. Anthony Real.
Meanwhile, Shiela Salazar-Real (Lovi) has a strong-willed and adventurous personality but eventually, her vulnerability as a woman will be revealed as she falls deeply in love with a man who will make her his everything. But everything will change when she finds out that she is not the only Mrs. Real.
