Sarah Lahbati was tagged to this post
The alleged hugging photo of actress Sarah Lahbati and Tacloban City Councilor Marty Romualdez, the son of former House Speaker Martin Romualdez, surfaced online.
Rumors linking Sarah to Marty first surfaced in June when entertainment writer Salve Asis shared that her “reliable source” revealed that romance bloomed between the actress and the politician.
However, in an interview in July, the actress stressed that she was single and focused on her role being a mother to her two sons with her estranged husband Richard Gutierrez.
In August, Sarah Lahbati reiterated that she was “single and happy.” After that, the rumors linking her to Marty Romualdez subsided a bit.
Just recently, netizens on Reddit talked about Sarah’s rumored relationship with Marty once again. It was because of netizen @Great-Ninja3255’s post under r/ChikaPH.
These were photos from social media influencer Natalia Ortega, but it can be noticed that she shared this on Instagram to her “close friends” only.
The first photo showed a woman wearing a white shirt, and she was sitting on a man’s lap, and they were hugging each other. Then, the other photo showed a photo of Sarah, and she was even tagged in this.
The uploader of the photos on Reddit claimed that this was the reason why actress Sofia Andres cut ties with Sarah. To recall, Sarah was entangled in Sofia’s issue with actress Chie Filomeno. The latter claimed that Sofia started a rumor and said that it came from Sarah. Amid this issue, Sarah unfollowed Sofia on Instagram.
Netizens who commented on the Reddit post showcasing Sarah’s alleged hugging photo with Marty were quite apprehensive about where the photos came from, as this was intended for the uploader’s close friends only. Here are some comments from netizens.
As of this writing, Sarah Lahbati has not spoken yet about the rumors linking her to Marty Romualdez.
