Heart Evangelista and The 10 Things We Love About Her

As Heart Evangelista turned 27 last Valentine's Day, Female Network tells you what makes her a star worth following.

1. SHE'S A FASHIONISTA.

When it comes to her fashion style, Heart always manages to be both classy and feminine. Whether she's wearing frilly dresses or casual wear, Heart looks ever the stylista! You loved this about her too.

2. SHE'S GOT SEX APPEAL.

Heart proves that you don't have to wear revealing clothes to be considered sexy! She ranked no. 24 on FHM Philippines's 100 Sexiest Women in the World in 2011, a yearly list voted upon by readers. The men of FHM say it's because of the "mysterious twinkle in her eyes."

3. SHE KEEPS HERSELF FIT.

Heart once had her health deteriorate from overwork, so now she makes sure to keep herself healthy. Besides having a fondness for nutritious snacks like tomatoes, celeries, and turnips, she also makes time for exercise - this includes walking her dogs and running on the treadmill.

4. SHE STANDS BY HER MAN.

Despite rumors that Heart and Brapanese hunk Daniel Matsunaga are having relationship problems, the two are still going strong. Heart even defended Daniel against people who belittle his financial capacity. "Kung sino naman 'yong inaapi, 'yon naman ang ibi-bless (Whoever gets maltreated will be blessed)," Heart said adding that Daniel is receiving a lot of blessings.

5. SHE KNOWS WHEN TO LET GO.

Heart was involved in a controversy with actress Marian Rivera in 2011 on the set of the movie Temptation Island. But now Heart is ready to move on, and she's even willing to work with Marian should they have a project together. "I want to start fresh, and it's better if we can all get along with one another, 'di ba?" she said in an interview.

6. SHE'S DECISIVE.

Heart makes her own decisions, especially when it comes to the direction she wants to take her career in. Back in 2010, when her contract with Annabelle Rama's Royal Artist Management Inc. ended, she chose not to renew it. Her decision might have made Annabelle angry at the time, but Heart's career is currently doing fine.

7. SHE APPRECIATES HER FANS.

Heart often mentions her fanbase, Heartworld, on her Twitter account, and she never forgets to thank them for their support! In January, she even posted a video montage she made for her fans.
