Gretchen Barretto and Shaina Magdayao are friends, and some people wondered why
Socialite and former actress Gretchen Barretto and Kapamilya actress Shaina Magdayao’s friendship is being questioned by some people.
Gretchen has long been away from the limelight. For many years, she has lived a private life with her longtime partner, Tonyboy Cojuangco, and their daughter, Dominique. At some point, La Greta was active on social media, especially on Instagram.
For quite a while, she would share glimpses of her daily routine, her gatherings with friends and family, or whatever random things she wanted to share with the online community.
However, the former actress came to a point when she got tired of social media, apparently because of the negativity, even though during the time when she extended help to other people, especially during the pandemic.
With that, Gretchen Barretto decided to deactivate her social media page, but once in a while, she would have some public appearances, and some of her friends would share videos and photos with her.
Last year, her friend Mimi Que shared a video in which they were having a bonding moment, and Shaina Magdayao was also present. This brought warmth to some netizens who were happy about the friendship between Gretchen and Shaina; however, some netizens had malicious comments, based on the recent article by entertainment writer Salve Asis in Pilipino Star Ngayon.
Asis said that some fans are looking for a connection as to why Gretchen Barretto and Shaina Magdayao are so close. Aside from the fact that they often go abroad together, they are also said to be together at the derma clinic, the writer shared.
She also said that there were people who were wondering which project the two worked on. “Malayo naman daw pagmalisyahan na may ‘love’ angle sila,” Asis added.
On the other hand, the entertainment writer said that friendship really has nothing to do with age, as anyone can have this connection, as long as there is no pretending between the two people.
