Anna Gianelli Yap de Belen-Rivera, more commonly known as Gelli de Belen (born May 25, 1973), is a Filipino actress.

She is known for her role as a host of SiS, a daytime television program that ran on GMA Network from 2001 to 2010.

Early life

[edit]

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

[edit]

de Belen married Filipino recording artist and actor Ariel Rivera in 1997.[4] They have two children.[4]

On March 19, 2016, her mother Susan de Belen died of cardiac arrest at the age of 67.[5]

As of 2019, de Belen and her immediate family live primarily in Canada.[4]

Philanthropy

[edit]

de Belen has rare blood type of RH negative which regularly donates on Philippine Red Cross. She has been recognized as a 'Blood Galloner'.[6]

Awards

[edit]

Her role in the film Gagay: Prinsesa ng brownout earned her a nomination for Best Actress at the 1993 Manila Film Festival.[7] 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.[7][8]
