Gretchen became estranged with her family following a misunderstanding in 2013.

At that time, she sided with Claudine's estranged husband, Raymart Santiago, over alleged drug use of the former.

This also resulted to a split in Barretto family--Gretchen's siblings Mito, Joaquin, Michelle, and Marjorie joined her side; while their parents, Miguel and Estrella, defended their youngest daughter.

Gretchen and Claudine have settled their difference earlier this year.

Many were also touched by the heartwarming reunion of Gretchen with her family.
