Janine Gutierrez politely put down a netizen who pointed out that her stomach seemed “bloated,” with the actress calmly explaining that it was due to holiday eating and premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and not because she’s eating for two.
Gutierrez was responding to a remark thrown her way by a follower on Instagram who was commenting on the picture of her in a fitting cut-out dress that she was wearing during the ABS-CBN Christmas Special 2022. In the picture, she was with her rumored boyfriend, fellow Kapamilya actor Paulo Avelino.
“[Preggy] ka ba? Bakit ang laki ng tiyan mo?” one @ireneeee1969 asked via the comments section. (Are you pregnant? Why is your tummy big?)
“PMS bloat actually and I’ve been holiday eating since wala pang taping (I do not have tapings yet),” Gutierrez answered. “It’s okay to enjoy the off season. Diet na ulit (I will be on diet again) after Christmas.”
Gutierrez concluded her response with a wish for the netizen: “Sana masarap din kain mo this December.” (I hope you are also eating well this December.)
On her 33th birthday last October, Gutierrez disclosed that she has no plans of settling down anytime soon, also reminding fellow women that everyone has their own timeline in life. EDV
