Spotted: Ricci Rivero and Leren Mae Bautista
RICCI RIVERO and LEREN MAE BAUTISTA – The two were spotted together at the mall and in a park in Laguna.
The basketball player and the councilor are currently garnering attention online after some netizens uploaded a photo of them while they were occupied with inspecting plushie stuffed toys in a store within a mall.
Based on the photo posted by a fan account on X (formerly Twitter) with the username @slayramonaaaa, the young man can be seen wearing a face mask, cap, and eyeglasses, while the councilor is beside him. Several other netizens also uploaded photos of Ricci and Leren taken from different angles.
This has sparked curiosity among the public about whether there is indeed something going on between the two, especially since it’s public knowledge that the young man recently separated from actress Andrea Brillantes.
In addition to their mall sighting, they were also seen together while jogging at the Freedom Park of the University of the Philippines Los Baños. Even though both were wearing face masks, it’s evident from the photo provided by the source of PEP.ph that Ricci is the man and Leren is the woman, particularly in the photo where her mask is off.
This isn’t the first time that the two have been linked to each other. It can be recalled that before Andrea and Ricci confirmed their separation, the two were romantically linked after the beauty queen shared a photo of the young man on her Instagram story.
Subsequently, the basketball player spoke up and confirmed that he and Andrea have parted ways. However, according to Ricci, there is nothing romantic between him and councilor Leren Mae Bautista; they are just friends. Nonetheless, it appears that the two are growing closer to each other, especially now that the young man is single.
