Celebrity couple Richard Gutierrez and Sarah Lahbati sparked rumors of marital trouble after being absent from each other’s social media posts and attending events separately in recent weeks.
Netizens have also noticed that the couple has only shared photos of themselves bonding individually with their sons, a departure from their previous behavior of openly sharing their affection on social media.
Despite the swirling rumors, Richard has remained focused on his career and recently renewed his contract with ABS-CBN. He signed a new contract during the “Solid Kapamilya: Network Contract Signing” event held at the ABS-CBN Dolphy Theater on October 26.
Richard expressed his excitement for the next phase of his career with ABS-CBN, sharing that he and the network have a couple of projects lined up, including a new teleserye in the first quarter of next year. He also revealed that he is already working on conceptualizing his new project, which he hopes to surpass the success of his recent hit series, The Iron Heart.
In terms of the genre and setting of his new project, Richard said that he and ABS-CBN are still brainstorming ideas. However, he is committed to delivering a show that will be even more action-packed, well-written, and visually stunning than The Iron Heart.
Richard also expressed his openness to working with new and established Kapamilya stars, such as Jodi Sta. Maria, Kim Chiu, Belle Mariano, Donny Pangilinan, Kathryn Bernardo, and Daniel Padilla. He said that he is always eager to collaborate with talented actors and actresses, and he believes that these partnerships can lead to even more exciting and groundbreaking projects.
Richard joined ABS-CBN in 2017 and has since starred in several successful shows and movies, including La Luna Sangre, FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano, Unbreakable, and Fantastica.
