Gretchen Barretto on How Heart Evangelista Inspired Her Lifestyle
Catching up with Dr. Aivee Teo, Gretchen shared an enlightened perspective on aging, proudly declaring that she is in her 50s. "People always cheat their age. They say [that they're] 30 years old instead of saying their real age," she says, "[but] I am blessed to be 54 because not everybody makes it. Every day that you are alive is a blessing, so if you age, that means you are alive."

She goes on to express how it was actually Heart who pushed her to start certain treatments in order to maintain her physical health. "Heart inspired me. I [remember] telling her, 'You better be careful ha,' but then I [realized,] she's alive, she's vibrant, she's very energetic. She must be doing something right," Gretchen stated.

Following in the global fashion darling's footsteps, Gretchen began prioritizing certain beauty treatments. Filled with gratitude, she says, "Heart, I'm a size 34, thanks to you!"
Several netizens have taken notice of how well the show biz legend has been taking care of herself. In recent photos shared by her makeup artist Mark Qua, Gretchen is as glowing as ever, flaunting her taut physique in a simple white tank top and denim shorts. Even Heart herself couldn't help but comment, saying, "A reminder: She is the queen."
