Ruffa Gutierrez once again belied rumors that she’s pregnant and that her rumored boyfriend, actor-politician Herbert Bautista, is the father.

The 49-year-old actress spoke up on the matter after she apparently received congratulatory greetings on her supposed pregnancy, as per her Instagram Stories on Thursday, Jan. 18.

“I wasn’t going to dignify this with an answer but everywhere I go, people are congratulating me,” she said while showing screenshots of reports speculating about her being pregnant.

“So here it is: FAKE NEWS!” she stressed.

After the pregnancy rumors, Ruffa also stressed that there is no truth to a quote card that was being attributed to her mother, Annabelle Rama. In the quote card, Rama supposedly admitted being a “bad mother-in-law.”

While no names were mentioned, the card appears to be a remark on the rumored separation of Richard Gutierrez and Sarah Lahbati.

Rumors of Ruffa being pregnant, suffering from a miscarriage and being married to Bautista also arose in 2022. The actress denied these, quipping how she has been a “favorite topic” among “titos and titas.”

Meanwhile, Ruffa and Bautista have been frequently seen together in gatherings of the Gutierrez family, although the pair has yet to confirm their relationship.
