By Maritess Garcia Reyes
The couple, Janine Gutierrez and Jericho Rosales, has become the talk of the town, particularly following a heartfelt confirmation of their relationship at the highly anticipated launch of the Filipino drama Lavender Fields in 2024. “Who wouldn’t fall in love with her?” Rosales remarked, his voice tinged with adoration as he recalled the magic of their beginnings. His eyes sparkled with admiration as they settled on Gutierrez, who stood beside him, radiating confidence and charm in a stunning dress that accentuated her graceful figure. The couple then tried on some iconic pieces from Tiffany & Co, even teasing each other about which rings to wear. As Rosales spoke, Gutierrez’s face lit up with a sweet, genuine smile, revealing the warmth she felt while listening to the affectionate words of her partner. The atmosphere around them seemed to buzz excitedly as onlookers and fans couldn’t help but be drawn into their undeniable chemistry.
..what was supposed to be a script review over coffee became a six-hour date that went on and on, from lunch to an afternoon sushi meal and a long, engaging conversation. They instantly clicked, talking about their roles in Lavender Fields and sharing interests and visions for the industry’s future and life. This connection was amplified by their aligned humour and adventurous spirits, and they eventually progressed to becoming good friends. However, their ten-year age gap kept Rosales back in pursuing Gutierrez. “At first, I mistakenly thought she was 24. I said there’s no way I would date a 24-year-old,” says the then 44-year-old actor. He eventually learnt Gutierrez’s real age and decided it was worth making a move.
Now, on a more serious level, Jericho Rosales and Janine Gutierrez continue to give each other the kind of love that lets them soar to heights and freely do the things that genuinely make them happy. For Rosales, Gutierrez is someone who understands how passionate he is at work and in many aspects of life. “We’re similar but also different in many ways. It’s such a healthy balance. We both like the beach, driving and old cars,” he says. For Gutierrez, having Rosales by her side gives her more confidence in pursuing higher goals. “He’s so supportive, and he’s made me feel that there’s always someone who believes in me, who encourages me that everything’s possible,” she shares.
