Richard Gutierrez and Barbie Imperial spotted at a restaurant in Italy
Celebrities Richard Gutierrez and Barbie Imperial were spotted together again, this time at a restaurant in Italy—fueling dating rumors anew.
Manila Restaurant, which is based in Rome, posted photos of Gutierrez and Imperial posing with its staff on Facebook.
"Thank you Mr. Richard Gutierrez and Ms. Barbie Imperial for your visit and a quick lunch here in Manila Restaurant," the establishment said in the caption.
Gutierrez is in Italy for the filming of his upcoming action series Incognito. He's starring alongside Daniel Padilla, Maris Racal, Anthony Jennings, Kaila Estrada, and Ian Veneracion.
Imperial isn't part of the series' cast.
Gutierrez, 40, and Imperial, 26, have yet to speak up about the real score between them.
Last May, a netizen shared a video of them in South Korea having a stroll together but it was eventually taken down.
They became a hot topic starting in January after being spotted at a gastropub in Alabang. The two were co-stars in the now-defunct ABS-CBN show FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano.
The first sighting of Gutierrez and Imperial came after months of breakup speculations between him and his wife, Sarah Lahbati.
The speculations started in 2023 when social media users noticed that Gutierrez and Lahbati stopped posting photos of them together online as usual and have been spending time with their kids separately.
Last March, Lahbati confirmed she's single. She and Gutierrez have been co-parenting their children Kai and Zion since they called it quits.
Gutierrez and Lahbati got married in 2020 after dating for eight years.
