Recently, during her appearance on Lutong Bahay, Kazel Kinouchi spoke on being linked to Richard Gutierrez before. According to the Abot Kamay na Pangarap actress, she and the actor were spotted during the Halloween as they live in the same village.

“We have common friends. Actually, hindi nga kami friends ni Richard,” the actress said.

Kazel went further during the interview saying that she and Richard got photographed but they were in different house in the same street. According to her, the people then may just be finding the reason why the actor and his wife separated.

“So sakto, nandun lang siya, same street. Tapos napicturan kami. May picture ako kumukuha sa isang bahay, tapos siya nandun din sa kabilang bahay. So ganun lang ‘yung nangyari,” she said.

It was in March 2024 when Sarah Lahbati confirmed her separation with Richard Gutierrez. They unfollowed each other on social media and Richard Gutierrez is reportedly in a relationship with Barbie Imperial now.
