Regine Tolentino, 43, is back. We saw the dancer-host, who gave birth to her third daughter last year, hosting the press con of Viva Entertainment’s “Barumbadings,” topbilled by Joel Torre, Jeric Raval, Mark Anthony Fernandez and Baron Geisler.
Regine is a well-known dancer and host. She was a veejay before she married Lander Vera-Perez, the father of her two elder daughters. They have separated years ago and their marriage has been annulled.
Now a businesswoman, Regine has her own boutique where she sells clothes for kids, costumes and gowns.
Regine is married to Dondi Narciso, father of her one-year-old daughter.
