Heart Evangelista recently shared a look inside her charming Paris apartment on her GMA show, “Heart World” with the title “Heart Evangelista’s KUBO version in Paris!”

The actress and fashion icon revealed that the cozy two-bedroom space is a personal milestone and a symbol of her resilience.

Evangelista shared that Paris, which once represented a challenging chapter in her life, has now become her personal sanctuary. She reflected on how the city, initially a place of sadness, has transformed into her “happy place.” 

Owning a property in Paris was a dream she never thought would come true, but she was overjoyed to see her vision materialize, describing it as a once impossible goal that had now been achieved.

The apartment purchase marked a significant moment in her life. She disclosed that, during a challenging period, she sold some of her jewelry and artwork to make her dream a reality. This symbolic decision, she shared, was about proving to herself that she could stand strong and independent. 

“It was a time in my life na kailangan kong patunayan sa sarili ko na kaya kong tumayo na mag-isa, na kaya kong mag-isa,” she reflected.

The actress and host named her apartment “Tree House,” inspired by her childhood dream of building a treehouse on her family’s farm in Cavite. 

Evangelista fondly recalled how, during her childhood, her father’s farm in Cavite featured a treehouse made from banana leaves, a memory that inspired her dream of having a treehouse of her own.

She also shared that her Paris apartment offers practical advantages, particularly when attending events in the city. 

Previously, she would rely on hotels, but now, with her own place, she can save on travel costs, benefiting both herself and her team.

At Milan Fashion Week, Evangelista sparked nostalgia by showcasing a selection of Filipino music in her Instagram fashion reels, much to the delight of her fans.

The posts reminded them of her humble beginning, with many commenting that it brought back the “Myx VJ energy.”
