Barbie Imperial & Richard Gutierrez Are “Exclusively Dating” Says Showbiz Reporter Ogie Diaz
OGIE DIAZ – Entertainment reporter Ogie Diaz finally confirmed that actors Richard Gutierrez and Barbie Imperial are “exclusively dating”
After initially denying any involvement between them, entertainment reporter Ogie Diaz has now confirmed, citing a reliable source, that Richard Gutierrez and Barbie Imperial are “exclusively dating.” This follows their recent sighting in South Korea and Imperial’s Instagram post showcasing their “workout bonding.”
In the latest episode of his vlog, Diaz affirmed that the two are indeed dating and clarified that Imperial was not involved in the separation of Gutierrez and his estranged wife, Sarah Lahbati.
“Kumpirmado exclusively dating na sina Richard Gutierrez at Barbie Imperial. Ayon sa aming very reliable source, walang overlapping na naganap at hiwalay na umano sina Richard at Sarah bago pa pumasok sa eksena si Barbie,” the vlogger said.
“Last year pa hiwalay umano ang mag-asawa, pareho nang single at co-parenting na lang sa kanilang dalawang anak. Si Barbie daw ay ngayong taon lang nakapalagayan ng loob ni Richard. Ani pa ng source namin, Barbie had nothing to do with the hiwalayang isyu,” added Diaz.

Ogie Diaz also noted that his source denied allegations that Gutierrez had “physically abused” his former wife or any of his ex-girlfriends.
“Idinagdag pa nito na lahat ng naging girlfriends ni Richard ay kaibigan pa rin ni Richard hanggang ngayon tulad nila Anne Curtis at Georgina Wilson. Ito ay sinabi ng aming source bilang patotoo na hindi nananakit ng babae si Richard tulad ng ibinibintang sa aktor,” the comedian explained.
“Hindi porket hindi nagsasalita si Richard ay siya ang may kasalanan sa hiwalayan. No, hindi siya nagsasalita anything against Sarah, kasi hindi naman ang tipo si Richard na makikipagaway sa babae lalo na sa mga nanay ng anak niya,” Diaz continued.

Citing his source, Ogie also mentioned that the couple plans to confirm their relationship “in due time.”
In January, rumors of Gutierrez and Imperial dating began when they were spotted together at a gastropub in Alabang. However, Diaz debunked these rumors, citing a close source who asserted that the two were not romantically involved and that Imperial was simply entertaining Gutierrez as one of the restaurant’s “shareholders.”
Gutierrez and Lahbati are co-parenting their two sons, Zion and Kai, and their annulment is reportedly still in progress.
