TV host-actress Mariel Rodriguez is set to undergo an operation to have the cyst on her ovary removed.

Fans of Mariel need not worry, though, as the cyst is benign. “Hindi naman siya cancerous. Pero kailangan ko pa rin siyang tanggalin,” she said in an interview aired on “TV Patrol,” Aug. 27.

Although the date of her operation was not specified, her co-host on “Pilipinas Win na Win,” Kris Aquino, told abs-cbnNEWS.com that Mariel would need to rest for two weeks after the procedure.

Mariel has neither confirmed nor denied rumors about her tying the knot with boyfriend Robin Padilla during their short vacation in India last week. However, she did admit that “I’ve never been this happy.”

“I really am contented with life. Hindi ko alam na pwede pa lang maging ganito kasaya,” she related.

Interestingly, the same “TV Patrol” segment showed a footage of Robin declaring in an unspecified event: “I came back with my wife. I hope you appreciate that I’m here like a family to you. We are one. We are a family.” Some of the filler shots showed that he was with Mariel.

In a separate interview, Kris gave a profound reaction on Mariel’s decision to take an indefinite leave from “Win na Win” and her other showbiz obligations.

“Hindi biro ‘yung iniwanan niya ang trabaho niya. Sinundan niya ang puso niyo. Bilang kaibigan at bilang ate niya, mamahalin mo na lang at ipagdarasal mo na pang habambuhay ang kaligayahan,” she said.

Mariel’s manager, Boy Abunda, told ABS-CBN that he supports his ward’s quest to find her own happy ending.

“It’s her life, not mine. She’s 26. She’s of age. And as her manager, I honor her concept of love. Ma (Mariel’s nickname) has been wanting a vacation, and we couldn’t fix her schedule until Robin came along, and after that, the decisions were quick,” he explained.
