Gutierrez and Imperial sparked dating rumors after they were seen getting cozy at a gastropub in Alabang last January, followed by a viral sighting in South Korea in May.
At the time, Imperial seemed to have soft-launched the “Iron Heart” actor on Instagram after she posted a gym photo with a mystery man in the background, who had a striking resemblance to the actor. The photo immediately made the rounds online.
Showbiz insider Ogie Diaz confirmed in May that Gutierrez and Imperial were “exclusively dating,” citing a reliable source.
Imperial’s photo of him attending the wake of Gutierrez’s sister-in-law, Alexa, who died due to leukemia on July 27, is also currently making the rounds on social media.
Gutierrez’s estranged wife, Sarah Lahbati confirmed their separation after she told MJ Felipe in March that she was “single.”
Lahbati, who shares two sons with the Kapamilya actor, also told reporters last April that she had “no reaction” to her ex-husband’s rumored romance.
As of this writing, Gutierrez hasn’t commented on his separation from Lahbati and the dating rumors surrounding him and Imperial.
