MANILA — A TikTok video showing Ricci Rivero and Juliana Gomez leaving a gadget store hand in hand has ignited online speculation about a possible romance. Smiling as they walked together, the two quickly caught the attention of netizens after the clip went viral.
This is not the first time Rivero and Gomez have been spotted together. In November 2025, they were seen at a wall-climbing gym, posing with a fan. The following month, Rivero attended the 33rd Southeast Asian Games to cheer for Gomez, who competed in fencing and later secured a bronze medal in the women’s team epee event.
A photo taken after the match showed Gomez, still in her fencing gear, approaching Rivero in the stands—further fueling speculation.
Online reactions to the recent mall sighting were mixed, with some fans expressing excitement and others questioning the rumored pairing.
Gomez is the daughter of actors Richard Gomez and Lucy Torres-Gomez. As of this writing, neither she nor Rivero has confirmed or denied the relationship rumors./ia
