Fueling more speculations on the real-score between them, Ricci Rivero and Los Baños Councilor Leren Mae Bautista were yet again seen together during an event in Laguna over the weekend.
Photos and video of the rumored couple went viral on TikTok, where they can be seen holding hands in public while taking photos with fans. Another clip also showed Ricci and Leren holding hands while going on a ride.
Their new sighting comes just a month after they were spotted shopping at a mall.
The former beauty queen'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.
