Ricci Rivero Faces Backlash from Netizens Over Rumored Relationship with Juliana Gomez
Some netizens have been criticizing basketball player Ricci Rivero, questioning his suitability as the rumored boyfriend of showbiz personality Juliana Gomez, the daughter of Richard Gomez and Lucy Torres. While many fans enjoy seeing their sweet moments together online, others have been posting negative comments and expressing doubts about their relationship.
The two have been spotted several times showing affection in public, including at a recent PBA game on April 26, where Juliana watched Ricci’s match between Phoenix Super LPG and Converge. After the game, Ricci was seen approaching Juliana, briefly leaving to change before returning to her seat. He was seen showing affectionate gestures such as kissing her on the forehead and holding her hand. The couple later walked out of the venue together while still holding hands, and fans even noticed that they were wearing matching black outfits.
Earlier in March, they were also seen holding hands while attending a music festival in Pampanga, further fueling rumors that they are already in a relationship, even though neither has officially confirmed it. Despite their visible closeness, some online users remain unconvinced and continue to criticize Ricci, saying he is not “good enough” for Juliana and that she deserves someone they consider more suitable.
Some comments even dragged Ricci’s past relationship into the discussion and assumed that Juliana’s parents might not approve of him. These remarks have sparked debate online, with many finding the judgments too harsh and unfair.
On the other hand, Ricci has also received support from fans who believe that people should not interfere or make assumptions about the couple’s personal lives. Supporters emphasized that love should not be judged based on public opinion and that Ricci should not be compared or blamed for his past.
