Annabelle Rama made no confirmation of her son Richard Gutierrez‘s romance with Barbie Imperial, but she seemingly gave a low-key seal of approval to a certain “Barbie doll.”

Rama took to her Facebook account on Wednesday, June 5, to say that “Annabelle doll” is not going against “Barbie doll,” a week after entertainment insider Ogie Diaz reported that Gutierrez and Imperial are “exclusively dating.”

“Hoy!! Yung walang magawa sa buhay tumahimik na kayo. Kasi si Annabelle Doll hindi lalaban kay Barbie Doll maganda, maputi at makinis,” Rama said, although she didn’t address anyone in particular.

(Hey! To those who have nothing to do in life, shut up. Because the Annabelle doll won’t fight the beautiful, fair-skinned, and smooth Barbie doll.)

Rama then said that she would rather trade barbs with a certain “Chucky,” referring to the killer doll in a popular horror movie series.

“Ang gusto makalaban ni Annabelle doll si Chucky. Alam nyo na kung sino yun HAHAHA happy kana (What the Annabelle doll wants to fight is a Chucky. You know whom I’m talking about. Happy now),” she said.

Rama’s post caught the attention of netizens in the comments, with some wondering if she was referring to herself, Imperial, and Gutierrez’s estranged wife, Sarah Lahbati. Others also noted that Rama seems to approve of Imperial for her son.

Actor Chuckie Dreyfus, meanwhile, butted in the comments.

Gutierrez and Imperial have been hounded with dating speculations since January 2024, after they were seen huddling together at an Alabang gastropub. Four months later, they are spotted at what seemed to be a getaway in South Korea.

On Diaz’s showbiz vlog last May 30, the entertainment insider said they are “exclusively dating,” but that no overlap happened between Lahbati and Imperial.

Neither Gutierrez nor Imperial have confirmed their brewing romance.
