Richard and Sarah’s separation was among the much-talked-about celebrity breakups in 2023. It was in March last year that the actress confirmed the breakup and spoke about this. Several speculations surfaced regarding their split.
Third-party accusations were directed at both sides. Speculations also surfaced that it has something to do with money matters.
Richard Gutierrez spoke about his past and present relationship status in a recent interview on talent manager-vlogger Ogie Diaz’s YouTube channel.
He shared that he and Sarah Lahbati are currently in the annulment process. “Siguro yung tungkol sa amin ni Sarah, ayoko na rin pag-usapan, yung mga nangyaring detalye. Kasi, we are actually going through an annulment now,” the actor said.
He also said that right now, both parties have moved on and they have a good co-parenting relationship with their sons as they have equal time with them.
“And ang priority namin is to make sure that the kids, you know, live a good life, a happy life. And of course, kung happy siya sa buhay niya, at happy ako sa buhay ko, makikita ng mga bata yun,” he said, adding that their kids are important.
Richard stressed that whatever the reason or whatever happened between him and Sarah, it was already a long time ago and they have moved on now. He also said that he wants to start 2025 happy and peaceful, leave the past in the past, and move forward.
The actor also stressed in the same interview that his current girlfriend Barbie Imperial has nothing to do with his breakup with Sarah Lahbati. He said that Barbie was not a third party and there was no overlap that happened.
Richard Gutierrez also said that amid the hate comments against Barbie Imperial, he had to defend his girlfriend.
