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.
