Richard Gutierrez and Barbie Imperial have reignited dating rumors after being seen together in South Korea. A social media user posted a photo of the pair strolling on the street, along with other snaps featuring the actress, with the caption “Kayo na maglagay ng captions.” The post quickly went viral but has since been removed.
This isn’t the first time Richard and Barbie have been the subject of dating speculation. In January, they were spotted together at a gastropub in Alabang, which stirred up online chatter. The two, who were co-stars in the ABS-CBN show FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano, have not yet commented on the rumors.
The recent sighting comes amid ongoing speculation about Richard’s relationship status with Sarah Lahbati. Rumors of their breakup began in 2023 when fans noticed the couple had stopped posting photos together and were seen spending time with their children separately. Sarah confirmed she was single in early March, stating that she and Richard are co-parenting their children, Kai and Zion, following their split.
Richard and Sarah were married in 2020 after eight years of dating.
