In a world where fame flickers and love fades quickly, Gretchen Barretto has remained a glowing enigma — beautiful, controversial, and fiercely unapologetic. Behind the flashing lights and front-page scandals lies a romantic past filled with unexpected twists, powerful men, forbidden love, and one surprising constant who never left her side.

Let’s take a rare look into the lives of the men who have loved, left, or longed for the woman the Philippine entertainment world can never quite forget.

💔 The Action Star Affair: Bong Revilla Jr.

Back in 1992, sparks flew between Gretchen and action star-turned-politician Bong Revilla Jr. during the filming of Ako ang Katarungan. Their chemistry didn’t stay on screen — it spilled into real life. But like many showbiz flings, it was intense and short-lived. The alleged romance lasted only four months, but the buzz it created still echoes today. Were they just co-stars, or was something deeper hidden behind the scenes?

🌹 Heartthrob History: Aga Muhlach

Aga was the ultimate matinee idol — charming, youthful, and adored by millions. And yes, Gretchen fell for him too. They made headlines during their youthful love affair, showing up at red carpets like a scene from a dream. But fairytales aren’t always forever. Their relationship faded, but remains a nostalgic “what could have been” for many fans.

💼 The Mysterious Executive: Dody Puno

Few know this chapter — and even fewer dare to speak of it. Around 2007–2008, Gretchen was romantically linked to businessman Rodolfo “Dody” Puno. Their rumored relationship sparked whispers of secret engagements and dramatic breakups. Though it lasted only six months, it was enough to cause ripples in her already complicated love life. Was Dody the one who almost changed everything?

🏀 The Athlete Romance: Joey Loyzaga

Gretchen’s rumored relationship with basketball star Joey Loyzaga remains shrouded in mystery. Was it a rebound, a secret rendezvous, or simply media imagination? Nobody can confirm — and Gretchen has never spilled the tea. But the rumor alone was enough to set tongues wagging.

🏰 The Tycoon Who Stayed: Tonyboy Cojuangco

He was married. She was young, bold, and controversial. Their relationship shocked a conservative society — yet somehow, it survived. Antonio “Tonyboy” Cojuangco Jr., businessman and telecom mogul, is the one man Gretchen never let go.

More than 30 years later, through family drama, political chaos, and tabloid hell, Tonyboy remains by her side. They never married. But they raised a daughter, Dominique, and built a life that defied norms. Gretchen calls him “her home,” and perhaps — in a world full of noise — he’s the only man who truly understood her.

🎲 Atong Ang – The Mysterious Man in Gretchen Barretto’s Life?

Cristino “Atong” Ang is a well-known businessman in the Philippines, associated with gambling, gaming operations, and connected to influential figures in politics and entertainment.

In recent years, his name has often been linked to Gretchen Barretto, especially during the explosive Barretto family feud in 2019.

Gretchen has been rumored to have a very close relationship with Atong Ang. Some members of the Barretto family have publicly criticized or questioned the nature of their connection.

However, both Gretchen and Atong Ang have denied any romantic involvement, insisting that they are simply close friends and business partners.

🤫 So… Who Really Owns Gretchen’s Heart?

Was it Bong, Aga, Dody, Joey… or was it always Tonyboy?
Behind the red lips and glamorous gowns is a woman who dared to live on her own terms — in love, in life, in scandal. Some men passed through. One stayed. But all of them left a mark on the legend that is Gretchen Barretto.
