Ricci Rivero, Leren Mae Bautista watch basketball game together

Ricci Rivero and Los Baños municipal councilor Leren Mae Baustista watched a UAAP basketball game together on Wednesday.

On Instagram Stories, Ricci's dad, Ruzcko Rivero, shared a group picture taken at the Mall of Asia Arena during the game between University of the Philippines and De La Salle University.

Both Ricci and Leren reposted the photo, where they can be seen beside each other with Ricci's dad and brother Gelo.

Ruzcko added red heart and folded hands emojis in his IG Story.

In June, Ricci and Leren were surrounded by speculation after they were photographed doing an outreach program together. That led to rumors that Leren was the third party in his relationship with Andrea Brillantes.

The municipal councilor denied her alleged romantic involvement with the basketball star, saying that the claims were "entirely false and have no basis in reality."

Ricci also denied that the former beauty queen was the cause of his breakup with Andrea.

"Tito Boy, wala pong kinalaman dito si Councilor Leren," he said in an episode of "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda."

He said the outreach was part of his birthday celebration, which he does every year since he was in college.
