In December 1990, Gutierrez replaced Snooky Serna for the lead role in Regal Film's Wunder Wuman Plus One, paired with comedian Rene Requiestas.[1] However, the project did not come to fruition, with Gutierrez and Requiestas instead paired in the 1993 film Hulihin: Probinsyanong Mandurukot.

In 1993, Gutierrez was linked to the Brunei beauties affair.[3]
In the late 1980s and 1990s, she did multiple films each year from 1987 to 1998 with Regal Films. She ventured into TV again as a replacement and regular TV host on The Buzz, a Sunday TV talk show, and then in 2010 with Paparazzi on rival station TV5.
Personal life[edit]
She is the only daughter of actor Eddie Gutierrez and talent manager Annabelle Rama. She has two half-brothers, Tonton Gutierrez and Ramon Christopher, from her father's previous relationships. She has five brothers: Elvis Gutierrez, Rocky Gutierrez, Ritchie Paul Gutierrez and Raymond Gutierrez and Richard Gutierrez.
In 2003, she married Yilmaz Bektas, a Turkish businessman. They have two daughters. They announced their separation through a joint statement on May 8, 2007.[4]
