Sarah Lahbati confirmed that she and her actor husband Richard Gutierrez have parted ways, although she disclosed that they are not in the process of annulment yet.

Lahbati made the confirmation in an exclusive interview with ABS-CBN reporter MJ Felipe for TV Patrol on Friday, March 1.

“There’s nothing to hide. I mean it’s pretty clear to the public,” she said. “Both of us are [single], I think, or I don’t know.”

When asked if their sons Zion and Kai are with her in her new house, Lahbati responded, “We share them.”

Lahbati further noted that her mom Esther, who was earlier seen at the Department of Justice (DOJ) office with the actress’ dad Abdel, has been helping and guiding her with her current setup with her kids.

“May process na kayo of annulment?” Felipe then asked, to which Lahbati briefly answered, “No.”

Lahbati and Gutierrez, who got married in March 2020 after more than a decade together, have been hounded by breakup speculations since the latter part of 2023.

The actress earlier admitted that she and Gutierrez are not on speaking terms, although she clarified that they are “good at parenting” their sons and that they are always present for the kids.

Gutierrez, meanwhile, has yet to publicly comment on the matter as of this writing.
