Having her own family drastically altered Nanette Medved's outlook and life priorities so much  that show business had to take an indefinite backseat.

PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) spotted the former sexy actress last Sunday, February 21, at Century Tuna's Superbods Run held at the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig. Nanette participated in the event together with her businessman husband. The couple's two adorable kids were also present at the early-morning activity.

Trading her showbiz career for a domestic lifestyle was an easy decision, according to the ex-Darna star. Nanette was even more convinced that she made the right choice after giving birth.

"I think that's part of the reason why going back to showbiz, at least for me, is less compelling. Kasi in my case, I'm worried kasi maski na papaano, you know naman that in show business, kahit may intriga o wala, gagawa at gagawa [ng issue] siyempre para mapag-usapan," Nanette, who just arrived with her family from Japan, explained to PEP.

She added, "It's hard for regular families, I mean, there are enough problems and ayoko nang dagdagan, di ba? So, maigi na 'yong ganito."

So preoccupied is Nanette with her role as wife and mom that she can't even keep tabs on the latest local tinseltown happenings.

"Actually, no," she confessed when asked if she updates herself on showbiz news. "I'm so glad... Maigi na 'yong hindi ko alam."

Some of the movies done by Nanette when she was still active in show business were: Dito sa Pitong Gatang, Isang Bala Ka Lang, Iukit Mo sa Bala, Sa Diyos Lang Ako Susuko, Tumbasan Mo ng Buhay, Kung May Gusot Walang Lusot, Huwag Mong Salingin ang Sugat Ko, Hiram Na Mukha, Narito ang Puso Ko, Sa Kabila ng Lahat, and Darna.

    I recall she's was a smart, level-headed actress who happened to be sexy. Hindi siya 'bold star' noon but a sexy actress in its truest sense.

    i applaud you for that decision, nanette!

    mas mabuti yan kasi SOLO ka ng mga anak mo at ng asawa mo.

    your kids NEED you more than anything else.

    giving your FULL time and attention to your kids is the BEST thing you can ever give to your kids!

    good luck for being a great MOM and WIFE!

    She was my favourite Darna! I guess kasi sya yung nag portray ng Darna nung bata pa ako. Even though, I've liked her in every movie I watched her in. I am glad to hear she is happy today.

    kahit na may anak na, nanette medved still looks steaming hot. good call to settle down, raise a family, and not getting updated about the industry you left behind. tempting kasing bumalik, but not when you're already happy where you are. hehe
