Kazel Kinouchi clears up past rumors linking her to Richard Gutierrez


Kazel Kinouchi on Friday addressed the rumors that have been linking her with Richard Gutierrez since 2023.

On “Lutong Bahay," Kazel aired her side, especially since her name was brought up amid the split between Richard and Sarah Lahbati. Kazel had previously denied that she and Richard were in a relationship.

“Last year, nadikit ‘yung name ko sa kanya. Parang nakita kami together sa breakup,” Kazel told host Mikee Quintos.

Kazel said that they were spotted during Halloween and that they live in the same village.

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

“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,” the “Abot Kamay na Pangarap” actress added. “Kasi nga diba, may issue so ano lang—naghahanap lang ‘yung mga tao ng reason kung bakit."

Richard and Sarah sparked breakup rumors when netizens noticed the actress was not present at Annabelle Rama’s birthday party in late 2023. After months of speculation, Sarah confirmed in early March that they had split.

The former couple unfollowed each other on Instagram in January. That same month, Sarah moved into a new home.

Sarah also said that she and Richard “are okay.” —Nika Roque/JCB, GMA Integrated News
