A rumor about Gretchen Barretto and Atong Ang surfaced
How true is it that socialite Gretchen Barretto and wealthy businessman Atong Ang are no longer friends?
Gretchen and Atong were business partners. However, it is known to many showbiz fans that they were linked to each other romantically. There had been lingering rumors that they were a couple, despite that Gretchen has been in a longtime relationship with business tycoon Tonyboy Cojuangco.
A controversy even surfaced when Gretchen’s feud with her sister Marjorie Barretto intensified in 2019. At that time Gretchen was accused by her niece Nicole Barretto of stealing her boyfriend, referring to Atong. A former actress even confirmed the alleged relationship between Gretchen and Atong.
Photos and videos of Gretchen Barretto and Atong Ang being together several times had circulated on social media which added to their rumored relationship.
Eventually, some people settled on the explanation that Gretchen and Atong were just business partners, especially when the businessman confirmed that he and actress Sunshine Cruz started dating. This confirmation came after their kissing video circulated on social media.
In a recent article published by Pilipino Star Ngayon entertainment writer Salve Asis, she shared that Gretchen and Atong are no longer friends. “In fact, ayon sa narinig kong usapan, hindi na raw nag-uusap ang dating ‘close friends,’” the entertainment writer said. However, Asis clarified that this was not about Sunshine Cruz and that the reason for the alleged falling out was another issue.
Meanwhile, Gretchen Barretto caught the attention of the online community just recently because she showcased her youthful glow in her glam photos. She is now 54 years old and she recently became a grandmother as her daughter Dominique gave birth to her first child.
Despite her age, Gretchen looked so fabulous in her recent photos and that was the reason why netizens expressed admiration for her and how she maintained her figure.
