Heart Evangelista, now in her 40s, enters 'soft power era': ‘I've channeled my energy towards building my future'
Now in her 40s, Heart Evangelista is entering her 'soft power era,' where she no longer needs to shout just to be heard. In Boy Abunda's interview with the Global Fashion Icon during a GCash event Tuesday, Heart shared that her 40s are all about being at peace. 'I feel like in your 40s, it comes with that innate poise that really comes with experiences,' she said. 'I did a lot of healing.' 'But now that I'm 40, I'm glad I made it to 40, literally. I really went through a war path." Heart reflected on how her perspective has shifted over the years, sharing that she is no longer preoccupied with pleasing others or winning their approval. 'In an interview with you before, I said that I've given myself away so many times because I wanted people to like me,' she said. 'I allowed them to chop me up and sell pieces of me just to make people happy,' she added. But nowadays, Heart has been focusing her time and energy on more meaningful pursuits. 'I am not going to waste my energy,' she said. 'I have channeled my energy towards building my future, towards being productive.' 'For those people who understand, there's a mutual respect with the kind of woman that I am today, and it's the same with people that I speak to." Heart was among the Kapuso celebrities who lit up the blue carpet of the GMA Gala 2025 earlier in August. She turned heads in a couture Schiaparelli gown from the Fall 2023 collection, the piece featuring multicolored hand-painted fabric from neck to hem. Before the GMA Gala 2025, Heart attended the fourth State of the Nation Address of President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr in July.
