The dating rumors between Ricci Rivero and Leren Mae Bautista seem to have resurfaced, suggesting that their connection might still be intact.
Despite their previous denial of any romantic involvement, recent photos of them spotted together in a public setting have surfaced online.

Earlier to this, Rivero was seen shopping with a girl in a prominent Japanese store, sparking conjecture that the girl was the former beauty queen. The duo's shopping spree did not go unnoticed by observant shoppers.
Leren Mae Bautista's name became intertwined with Rivero's during the separation of actress Andrea Brillantes and the basketball player. There were allegations of Leren Mae's involvement as a third party in their relationship.
Speculations about their alleged romance first emerged in June, after Bautista shared a photo of Rivero on her Instagram Story.
Due to this, Leren Mae released a statement to counter the rumors, vehemently denying any truth to the claims connecting her and Ricci. She labeled the allegations as entirely baseless.
In a previous statement, Ricci also addressed the relationship dynamics between him and Leren Mae, refuting any involvement of the beauty queen in his breakup with Andrea Brillantes.
Ultimately, Rivero and Brillantes parted ways, with the basketball player facing persistent allegations of deceit.
While he consistently denied any wrongdoing, Brillantes asserted that she personally witnessed an unclothed woman within Rivero's apartment.
In response, he maintained that the woman was not associated with him.
It's noteworthy that Rivero and Brillantes officially became a couple on April 9 of the previous year, but by May of the current year, their separation became official.
