Probably tired of circling around in search of compatible pairs, Cupid may well retire his overused bow and arrow for Claudine Barretto — at least for now.

The 46-year-old actress has made it clear she is “single but happy.”

That declaration surfaced in a reply to a man who appeared interested in her and shared bits of his personal story online.Described by Claudine herself as “great-looking,” the man revealed he married at 19 and divorced at 40.

He recalled his late father once telling him, “You wasted the best years of your life (in your 20s).”Now 45, he says he is savoring what he considers the best time of his life. Whether that optimism includes hopes of winning Claudine over remains unclear.

The actress, however, seemed quick to temper any assumptions. She reiterated she is content being unattached.

So whatever happened to Milano Sanchez, whose Facebook account once brimmed with their sweet photos? It appears that chapter has quietly closed.Did the romance bloom as quickly as it faded? Some relationships simply run their course.

For now, Claudine seems perfectly at ease on her own — and not in need of Cupid’s assistance anytime soon.

More than reinfor­cing her world-class fashion maven image, Heart Evangelista appears to be projecting a notably low-key stance these days.

During a recent Instagram Live, the global fashion icon impressed followers by slipping into pieces from her own archive — prompting many to dub her the “Recycle Queen.”

Heart wore a red dress she first donned 22 years ago, pairing it with a necklace of vintage stones. She likewise refreshed a 2013 outfit, making it look as though it had just been acquired.

Fans expressed amazement at how the actress has maintained her svelte figure through the years, with some even wishing she would revive her widely followed fashion vlogs so others could once again learn a thing or two about her sartorial instincts.

Observers, however, could not help but wonder whether the understated posts signaled a conscious shift toward privacy amid the noise that often surrounds public life.

Whatever the intent, Heart — who recently marked another birthday — seems comfortable letting her style speak for itself, proving that true fashion never goes out of relevance.

Belated happy birthday, Heart, and best of luck on the return of “Heart World” to GMA Network!
