Power Couple Lucy Torres-Gomez and Richard Gomez grace the covers of Men’s Health and Women’s Health

Richard Gomez and Lucy Torres-Gomez are no ordinary pair. While they may be showbiz A-listers, they’ve also proven that hard work and patience can help you make the most out of life and achieve your dreams. These admirable characteristics landed them on the covers of the January issues of Men’s Health and Women’s Health as the magazines’ first-ever Power Couple!

Richard and Lucy have both been on the covers of Men’s Health and Women’s Health before. Richard last appeared on the cover of Men’s Health in June 2008. Though now retired from competitive sport and busy with helping out Lucy in congress, Richard still makes sure he leads an active lifestyle. “I don’t have much time for baseball since Lucy won. I’ve been pretty much busy with office work. Since baseball is an outdoor sport and it’s usually played during the day, I can’t go because after office it’s already 6 or 7 o’clock. Also every weekend I go home to the province,” he admits.

Lucy also graced the cover of Women’s Health for the first time in June 2009. “I’m glad I got into fitness years ago because the more I engross in a fitness regimen, the more I know my body and the more I respect it,” she tells Women’s Health in their January issue, “Before, I’d eat everything mindlessly thinking my body can still handle it because I’m young. Now I still eat meat. I’ll still have my dessert but I don’t have abundant amounts.”

Clearly in tune with her body, Lucy also shares how she keeps fit. “I’ve had my dancing and yoga for years although they got pushed back a little since I got into politics. But since we’re on session break, I get to dance more often like maybe twice or thrice a week. And now, I have a teacher who instructs me on the proper technique… I feel like my dancing improves with better understanding. That’s my workout.”

Aside from sharing their fitness regimens, this power couple also reveals the secrets to their lasting marriage. Lucy says, “What makes our marriage work is that we always have fun together… We don’t impose our individual interests on each other... I allow him to be his own person, and he allows me to find my joy, and we’re both happy that way. So when we get together at the end of the day, there’s much to share with each other.”

Richard also tells Men’s Health about the importance of keeping their communication lines open. “There’s nothing we don’t talk about. What’s nice about us is that she’s not selosa; ako naman hindi seloso. The problem is when you’re a couple and the other one is medyo seloso or selosa, nagkakaroon ng limitations ‘yung kwentuhan niyo,” he shares.

Andi Eigenmann Talks About Family, Career and Matteo on Her Cosmo debut

There’s no denying that taking the lead role in ABS-CBN’s primetime offering, Agua Bendita, jumpstarted Andi’s career. But surprisingly, in her Cosmo feature this September, the top-billing fantaserye star, reveals that despite being borne of two veteran actors—Mark Gil and Jaclyn Jose, she really didn’t want to become an actress because of her experiences of growing up in a showbiz family.

Andi shares that growing up with actors as parents wasn’t any different from any other family. “It’s just that we didn’t get to go out. And when we did, it’s hard; it used to be a hassle for me. I was uncomfortable with the attention.” Andi shares. “That’s why I never thought I’d want to be in the industry. Even my friends were really surprised that I ended up entering it.” She adds, “I guess it’s because my parents, my kuya [Sid Lucero], and my sister [Maxene Eigenmann] have been in the industry before I was, and I know how it is already, so there was no point in trying it out.”

Andi also admits that at first, it was a challenge for her to adjust to the limelight. “People will judge you—whether the industry or just the viewers. But now, I realize that I don’t care,” she reveals. “If you don’t like who I am, that’s your problem, not mine. Haha!”

She also openly talks about her crush on Jericho Rosales but Cosmo wanted to know what she thought of one of this year’s Cosmo centerfolds—Matteo Guidicelli. When Matteo was featured as Cosmopolitan Man on Fire last June, he mentioned that he had a crush on Andi. What was her reaction to this? “No! he doesn’t have a crush on me! Nambobola lang iyon! Matteo and I are too good of friends, super friends actually.”



With so many promising things on her plate and considering how accomplished she already is at a young age, it’s surprising to hear that Andi’s ultimate goal for herself is to simply “be successful and at the same time be genuinely happy person.”

Read the full story of Andi Eigenmann’s humble beginnings in Cosmo’s September issue. It comes with the Cosmo Men Supplement with Sam Milby on the cover.

Maricar Reyes makes her Cosmopolitan debut

Beauty and brains. Those are the first two words that will come to mind when you see Maricar Reyes. In her first-ever Cosmopolitan cover, Maricar shares her thoughts on juggling careers, living well, and loving herself.

It was a simple but definitely memorable skincare commercial that launched Maricar’s modeling career while she was still a student of Biology in Ateneo. But, finishing her medical degree in UST always came first over modeling. Once she was done, however, show business came knocking on her door and like other model-turned-celebrities, the natural progression into showbiz just seemed to good to miss. “When an opportunity presents itself, you have to explore it. I guess that’s what I did,” she shares.

From modeling, she honed her acting skills and began to take roles in shows like I Love Betty La Fea, Precious Hearts Romances presents Bud Brothers, May Bukas Pa, Lovers in Paris, Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo and co-starred in two successful movies; And I love You So and I Miss You Like Crazy---- all with the biggest and finest actors in the industry.

Despite being busy with her showbiz career, Maricar still finds time to see patients in a small clinic in Pasig City. How does she handle both professions? Maricar says, “My schedule is okay. I manage for some reason; ang galing! If there’s a day na wala akong masyadong trabaho sa showbiz, that’s the day that I have patients.”

Aside from acting and medicine, Maricar’s other passion lies in being a triathlete. “What I love about it is that it takes a lot of discipline. You really need to set aside time to train, which is actually very challenging for most people.”

Cosmopolitan’s August issue is all about beauty so we asked Maricar how she stays beautiful. “I drink lots of water. I have a night cream, day cream --- just standard girl things… Showbiz did contribute a bit (to my beauty regimen), because you’re under scrutiny all the time. I’ve learned so much about makeup now compared to before when I didn’t really own any makeup.”

Cosmopolitan’s August issue with Maricar Reyes on the cover also features the 2010 Cosmo Beauty Awards! Cosmopolitan is available in newsstands, bookstores, and supermarkets nationwide for only P125.

Cosmo cover girl Marian Rivera tells detractors: Deadma!

Deadma. That’s how Marian Rivera chooses to deal with detractors, now that she has lasted three years in the crazy world of show business. She tells Cosmopolitan as she graces their cover for the third time in her career, “Hindi talaga lahat ng tao mapi-please mo eh. Mas importante lang na mas marami ang may gusto sa iyo kaysa d’un sa mga may ayaw sa iyo. Bigyan mo lang lagi ng importansya ang mga taong love ka; at dun sa mga taong hindi ka gusto, deadma!”

Marian has come a long way since she was cast in the sultry and sexy role of Marimar three years ago. Aside from having a string of primetime hits like Dyesebel and Ang Babaeng Hinugot sa Aking Tadyang to her name, she is now branching out to comedy with People’s Champ Manny Pacquiao in Show Me the Manny and action with the iconic role of Darna.

“Exciting ang acting dahil sa iba’t ibang klaseng character, ang sarap pag-laruan ng pwedeng action, drama or sitcom. Lahat talaga nag-enjoy ako!” she says in the June issue of Cosmo, “At kung hindi ko naman napatunayan ang sarili ko sa Marimar, hindi rin ibibigay sa akin ang Dyesebel, ang Darna.”

Work has been good to Marian, and at last, her love life is also settling into a happy place. Real-life love and Cosmo Centerfold Dingdong Dantes is turning out to be her perfect partner. “Ine-enjoy lang naming lahat. Masaya kami sa isa’t isa—ganun ka-open yung relationship namin,” she says.

Should any woman try to steal her man, Marian warns that she is definitely the selosa type, but only with good reason. “Transparent ako eh, kapag gusto ko, gusto ko…kung ano nakikita ninyo, talagang ako ‘yun. At kapag gan’un, kailangan pangatawanan mo, kasi may mga consequence ‘yan. Basta happy lang, at dapat walang nasasagasaan.”
