Annabelle Rama breaks silence on split rumors between Richard Gutierrez and Sarah Lahbati
Annabelle Rama revealed that her son Richard Gutierrez has been staying with her for a month now amid breakup rumors between him and Sarah Lahbati.
The actress and talent manager made the revelation during her interview with entertainment reporter MJ Felipe on Thursday, Dec. 7.
“Si Richard, nasa bahay ko ngayon, one month na," she revealed. "Pero unti-unti siyang lumilipat ng gamit sa Alabang. Lilipat na siya after Christmas."
She, however, remained tight-lipped on whether her son and her daughter-in-law have broken up
"Hindi pa ko pwede magsalita eh, pero sasabihin ko sa'yo, si Richard na sa akin ngayon," she said, adding that the couple's children, Zion and Kai, are living with Richard at the moment.
Annabelle also revealed her current relationship with her daughter-in-law Sarah, saying, "Hindi ko siya nakakausap. Wala akong time makipag-usap sa kanila."
When asked about the blind items seemingly pertaining to Sarah, she said that his son has been busy working, while the former has only been busy “wasting money.”
"Nakikita mo naman 'di ba?" she began. "Nakikita mo naman, hindi mo na kailangang magsalita pa. Nakikita mo na 'yan. Si Richard trabaho nang trabaho, 'yung isa nagwawaldas ng pera. 'Yun lang ang masasabi ko diyan,” she said.
"Mahirap para sa kaniya, kasi una, trabaho siya nang trabaho. Wala siyang ibang ginawa kundi magtrabaho. Pagdating niya sa Manila, hindi niya alam kung bakit nagkaroon ng gulo," she continued.
"Maghintay na lang kayo kasi malalaman niyo rin. Not now,” she said.
Richard and Sarah have been making the rounds online since social media users noticed that they haven't been sharing photos of them online and have been spending time with their kids separately. They were last spotted together at Maja and Rambo Nuñez's wedding in Bali, Indonesia.
Sarah celebrated her 30th birthday on Oct. 9 in Siargao with her family and kids but without Richard. The latter also went solo at the last ABS-CBN Ball and the Opulence Halloween Ball this year.
Richard and Sarah tied the knot in 2020 after dating for eight years. The two have yet to address the split rumors as of writing.
