They are reunited and people online are talking about Gloria Romero and Juancho Gutierrez and their love story.
GLORIA ROMERO and JUANCHO GUTIERREZ – Here’s the story of these two celebrities who met, separated, and are now reunited.
On September 24, 1960, the regal movie queen Gloria Romero and actor Juancho Gutierrez tied the knot at the Santuario de San Antonio in Forbes Park, Makati. At that time, it was dubbed the “Wedding of the Year” and their entourage was composed of some of the biggest stars of Sampaguita Pictures.
She wore a stunning gown by Ramon Valera, while Juancho was dashing in a white suit. The bridesmaids were Daisy Romualdez, Barbara Perez, Susan Roces, and Amalia Fuentes.
In their heyday, they were the most glamorous couple. Gloria was already the queen of Sampaguita Pictures when she first laid eyes on him, who was practically a newbie in the industry, and quipped, “Yan ang magiging asawa ko.”
According to the story of their daughter Maritess, it was love at first sight in the case of their mother.
“My mom was working in Sampaguita. My dad arrived in a car. He was wearing a pink shirt and white pants. Sa malayo, my mom said, ‘Sino ‘yan? Ang guwapo naman niyan. Yan ang magiging asawa ko’.”
They got married in 1960 but 12 years later, they separated. In 2000, Juancho suffered a diabetic stroke. This left him paralyzed but also paved the way to be reunited with his wife. Through the encouragement of Maritess, Gloria agreed to get him back. They took care of him.
“Ma, kunin muna natin si Daddy,” she said and her mom replied, “Sige, iha.”
Juancho died in October 2005. He was 73 years old.
24 years later, Romero died which was on January 25, 2025. She was 91 years old.
