Ricci Rivero, a basketball player, has denied claims that he is in a relationship with a member of the LGBTQ community. Ricci addressed this subject during an interview with Boy Abunda on GMA-7’s Fast Talk With Boy Abunda on Monday, June 26.
“Sobrang laki po kasi ng respeto ko sa LGBTQ+ community, sobrang napapaligiran po ako ng part ng community na ‘yan. Simula po noon no’ng napasok din po ako sa showbiz industry dito, even sa basketball naman, marami po talaga akong nilu-look up in a way na ‘yung personality nila, the way they carry themselves, na alam ko po mataas ‘yung respeto namin sa isa’t isa, sa kanilang lahat, na hindi naman po aabot sa romantic relationship,” he said.
“And you’re straight?” Tito Boy asked Ricci directly. “Opo,” was the immediate answer of the basketball player.
Ricci has broken his silence in this interview, revealing the reasons for his breakup with Andrea Brillantes. Ricci also addressed the apparent reason for his split with actress Andrea Brillantes, as well as whether Beauty Queen and Los Banos, Laguna Councilor Leren Mae Bautista was involved.
According to the basketball player, he and Andrea reconciled in April 2023, but they break-up in the first week of May due to numerous issues. Ricci also denied making Andrea Brillantes his trophy girlfriend just for the sake of becoming famous.
“Kung ginamit ko po siya, marami naman pong offer ‘yung ABS-CBN na sit-down interview with her. Shows with her and simula po nung naging kami never po akong nag-yes, lahat po nag-beg off ako. Kasi ayoko ko rin naman pong i-connect ‘yung trabaho sa personal relationship ko,” he said.
“Sa akin sobrang genuine lang lahat eh. Wala sa isip ko ‘yung mga ganyang bagay kasi parang minsan na lang ako mag-girlfriend ‘di ba, bakit sa ganyang paraan ko pa naman gagawin,” he added.
