He starred in the TV fantasy series Mulawin which aired from August 2, 2004, until March 18, 2005, where he played the lead character Aguiluz.

Gutierrez and Pardo were driving to Manila from Silang, Cavite. Gutierrez was injured, and Pardo, seated in the passenger seat, died on the spot. [20]
In August 2012, the Court of Appeals reinstated the charge of reckless imprudence resulting in homicide. The appellate court granted the petition filed by Pardo's widow seeking the nullification of the two resolutions that had been issued by former justice secretaries Agnes Devanadera and Alberto Agra, respectively. The appellate court stated, "To the mind of this court, if indeed private respondent was not driving fast, it would have been easy for him to stop his car and thwart any untoward incident." [21]
In March 2020, Gutierrez married Sarah Lahbati in the city of Taguig. They have two sons together, Zion (born 2013) and Kai (born 2018). [22] Lahbati confirmed on March 1, 2024 that she and Gutierrez were separated but are coparenting their two young sons. [23]
