Gretchen is a television host and former volleyball player in the Philippines. She played volleyball for the Ateneo Lady Eagles from 2008 to 2013. Her popularity rose when she became a co-host on Umagang Kay Ganda, TV Patrol, and The Score.

In one of her previous Instagram posts, Gretchen shared a photo where all members of her family, except for her late father, were seen celebrating the birthday of the TV hosts’ eldest brother. In her caption, Gretchen noted that it is the first birthday celebration that her father is not in attendance. She is of the opinion, however, that her family has grown stronger ever since her Dad passed away. The TV host also remarked that her eldest brother is not the “Padre de Pamilya,” then jokingly signed it with “your mortal enemy.”

She has also opened up on social media about her last moments with her father, James Ho, who died a few days ago. She was working in Sagada when her dad suffered a heart attack, several months after he suffered a stroke. Her father’s stroke and cardiac arrest were caused by congestive heart failure due to a weak heart muscle. Gretchen left Sagada after hearing the news and her father was awake but non-verbal when she arrived at the hospital.
