In 1981, she starred in "Age Doesn't Matter" and was paired with Vic Sotto. What started as a reel romance turned real. The couple started a sitcom from 1982 to 1986 over BBC channel 2 every Saturday at 8 pm entitled, "2 + 2 = Gulo", sharing stellar billing with Maricel Soriano, William Martinez and Herbert Bautista. During this period, she focused on being a homemaker and would occasionally accept showbiz assignments. In-between her domestic life, she was able to finish Mike de Leon's "Hindi Nahahati Ang Langit" in 1985, lending support to Lorna Tolentino, Elwood Perez' "Till We Meet Again" and Leroy Salvador's "Tinik sa Dibdib", both with Nora Aunor.
