Sarah Lahbati unfollows Richard Gutierrez on Instagram
Sarah Lahbati unfollowed Richard Gutierrez and changed her name from "SLG" to her maiden name on Instagram as breakup rumors between them continue to spread on social media.
Eagle-eyed users started noticing Richard is no longer on Sarah's following list on Monday, Jan. 8. She has also made a name change and unfollowed Richard's mom Annabelle Rama as well as his siblings Ruffa and Raymond Gutierrez on the social media platform.
All of them, except Ruffa, are still following Sarah as of writing.
This comes a few months after Sarah removed "Gutierrez" from her Instagram name and changed it to SLG from Sarah Lahbati-Gutierrez.
Rumors about Sarah and Richard's split started in 2023 after social media users noticed they stopped posting photos of them together online as usual and spending time with their kids separately.
They were last spotted together at Maja and Rambo Nuñez's wedding in Bali, Indonesia in July. Richard was nowhere to be seen at Sarah's 30th birthday celebration last Oct. 9 in Siargao. He also went solo at the ABS-CBN Ball and the Opulence Halloween Ball in the same year.
In early December, Annabelle revealed that Richard has been staying with her for a month. While she shared that she hasn't found the time to talk to Sarah, Annabelle addressed blind items seemingly pertaining to her daughter-in-law, saying that Richard has been busy working, while the former has only been busy "wasting money."
Sarah's mother Esther, in the same month, said her daughter is following a co-parenting setup with Richard at the moment.
The two have yet to address the speculations about their marriage directly.
Richard and Sarah tied the knot in 2020 after dating for eight years. Their children are currently living with Richard, according to Annabelle.
