MANILA, Philippines ? The recent guesting of three young go-kart champs on the QTV gab fest ?Sweet Life? prompted host Lucy Torres-Gomez to quip, ?How I wish I had three boys of my own.?
She confides to Inquirer Entertainment in an exclusive interview: ?Those three boys were really cute. I?d love to have three makulit [active] little boys at home.?
She jests that hubby Richard is ?my eldest.? Their firstborn, Juliana, is now 8.
Admittedly, she has her hands full with the two. ?Like her dad, Juliana is a natural at sports,? Lucy relates. ?She plays baseball and soccer, runs with her dad and dances with me. Richard says sports is the easiest way to teach discipline to a child. I agree.?
Learning to cook
All that sweating has allowed Juliana to slim down a bit, Lucy notes. ?But she also has a healthy appetite. Richard is forever cooking. Juliana and I bake cupcakes together.?
The Gomezes recently appeared in an advertisement for Birch Tree milk. ?I make sure Juliana enjoys her childhood,? Lucy says. ?Modeling is just something she can do on the side. We are very careful about the products she endorses.?
The entire family are milk drinkers, she says. ?When I was growing up, we could have soda only weekends, but every day we had milk. Richard?s Lola Lydia always had a pitcher of milk in the fridge when he was a boy.?
