Neither Sarah Lahbati nor Richard Gutierrez has yet to clarify the status of their relationship, but the actress’ mother Esther intrigued fans after revealing that the couple are “co-parenting” their kids Zion and Kai.
Esther Lahbati said this in response to one @medz0331 who asked if Sarah’s Christmas photo with Zion and Kai was “pre-recorded,” as seen in the comments section of the latter’s joint Instagram post last Tuesday, Dec. 26.
“Na kay Sarah sina Zion and Kai. Live na live with the family of Sarah. Co parenting sila ng tatay (Zion and Nai are with Sarah. This photo is live as they’re with Sarah’s family. They are co-parenting with the father),” she wrote, apparently referring to Gutierrez.
On Instagram, Sarah’s sons Zion and Kai appeared to have spent Christmas with the actress and her family, where they were seen receiving their presents from the actress and their grandparents.
Meanwhile, Gutierrez seemingly held a separate celebration with his children, as seen in a series of photos on his sister Ruffa’s Instagram post last Tuesday, Dec. 26.
Since November, Lahbati and Gutierrez have been hounded by breakup rumors after they were noticeably absent from their respective Instagram posts. The couple are previously known for being vocal about their love for each other on social media.
Both parties have yet to make a statement about their relationship, but their parents are seemingly at each other’s skin after making cryptic remarks against each other on Instagram.
