Sarah Lahbati, in one of her celebrations during the love month, went on a dinner date with fellow actress Nadine Lustre and her boyfriend, Filipino-French businessman Christophe Bariou, as the couple’s third wheel.
Lahbati—who has been rumored to have separated from her actor husband Richard Gutierrez—gave a glimpse of her “lovely dinner” with the pair at a Brazilian-Japanese restaurant, via her Instagram Stories on Friday, Feb. 16.
Lustre and Bariou, both donning white ensembles, can be seen posing for a photo while having a toast with Lahbati.
“Third wheel be like…,” she captioned her post, tagging the couple’s respective Instagram handles.

Meanwhile, Lahbati marked Valentine’s Day last Feb. 14 with a home shoot with her sons Zion and Kai, as seen in a separate Instagram post.
Lahbati and Gutierrez have been hounded by breakup speculations since late 2023. In a January interview, Lahbati said that they were “okay,” although the actress did not immediately confirm or deny their rumored separation.
The parents of the couple, particularly the actor’s mom Annabelle Rama and Lahbati’s mom Esther, chimed in on the breakup talks in separate instances.
Rama declared that the truth would be revealed to the public in time, while Esther disclosed that the pair are “co-parenting” their kids.
