As of this writing, Gutierrez is re-posting every single tribute on his Instagram story dedicated to his wife from their family and friends.
His sister Ruffa Gutierrez announced Alexa’s death on her Instagram account on Sunday, followed by Elvis, who then posted a photo of him kissing his wife and simply captioned it with a white heart emoji.
In January, Ruffa appealed for prayers for her sister-in-law, who had been seeking medical treatment for several months and whom she described as a “brave and beautiful soul” and a “devoted wife” to her brother.
Coming from an Uichico clan in Iloilo, Alexa was a model and eventually became an entrepreneur. In her death, she was succeeded by her husband and their two daughters, Aria and Ezra.
Meanwhile, veteran celebrity couple Eddie and Annabelle Rama are the parents of Elvis. He briefly joined the entertainment industry as a child star but left it all behind despite coming from a family of actors, specifically his younger twin brothers, Richard and host Raymond Gutierrez.
