Holding Hands in Public Ricci Rivero & Juliana Gomez Spark Dating Speculation
JULIANA GOMEZ – Romance rumors are once again making waves online after Ricci Rivero and Juliana Gomez were spotted sharing a seemingly sweet moment in public.
Speculation about a possible romance between basketball player Ricci Rivero and Juliana Gomez, daughter of actor and sportsman Richard “Goma” Gomez, has once again captured the attention of netizens after the two were recently spotted together in public.
Questions quickly surfaced online asking whether Ricci and Juliana are now officially in a relationship after a video circulated showing them walking hand in hand inside a mall. The clip, shared by a TikTok user, showed the pair happily exiting a gadget shop while holding hands and laughing, prompting widespread curiosity among fans and social media users.
In the video, Juliana was seen wearing a denim jacket paired with pants and sneakers, keeping her look casual and sporty. Ricci, on the other hand, opted for a jacket and slim-fit joggers, matching Juliana’s laid-back style. Their relaxed demeanor and visible closeness fueled conversations, with many netizens pointing out that the moment appeared natural and affectionate.
This is not the first time Ricci and Juliana have been seen together, which has only intensified relationship rumors. Back in November 2025, the two were photographed at a wall climbing gym along with a fan. The sighting already sparked buzz at the time, as it hinted at a growing closeness between the athlete and the young fencer.
In December 2025, Ricci was also spotted attending the 33rd Southeast Asian Games, not as a competing athlete but as a supporter of Juliana. She represented the country in fencing and brought home a bronze medal in the women’s team epee event. During the competition, One Sports even captured a moment when Juliana, still wearing her fencing uniform, approached Ricci in the stands, further drawing attention to their connection.
Adding to the intrigue, Richard Gomez previously shared in an interview on “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda” that someone new had been linked to his daughter. While the actor did not name Ricci directly, he mentioned that Juliana had brought the person along to a family dinner, subtly confirming that there was someone special in her life.
As of now, neither Ricci nor Juliana has publicly confirmed their relationship status. Still, their recent public appearances continue to keep fans guessing and watching closely for any official announcement.
