Netizens are buzzing with speculation over the real score between basketball star Ricci Rivero and beauty queen-turned-politician Leren Bautista, with many suspecting the couple may have quietly gone their separate ways.
Fans noticed that both Ricci and Leren have deleted photos of each other from their respective social media accounts. The last time the two were publicly seen together was reportedly in January 2025 during Bautista’s birthday celebration. Since then, no new sightings or posts of the couple have surfaced online.
One fan noted: “The last time Ricci and Leren were seen together was January pa. After that, wala nang sightings at parang nawala na rin yung sweetness nila online.”
Another echoed the observation: “Napansin ko rin na sa IG ni Ricci, wala na siyang posts with Leren… as in deleted na lahat. If matagal na silang hiwalay, sobrang lowkey ng breakup kasi walang ingay, walang cryptic posts, walang follow-unfollow drama.”
Despite the speculations, Rivero and Bautista still follow each other on Instagram, leaving some fans wondering if it’s simply a “cool-off” rather than a full breakup.
The rumored split comes just a year after the couple publicly defended their relationship against age-gap comments. Leren, now 30, earlier shrugged off criticisms of being five years older than Ricci, 25, saying on ‘Fast Talk with Boy Abunda’ that their bond was built on mutual understanding: “Ang level of maturity ni Ricci, parang mas mature pa siya sa akin pero ako yung mas matanda.”
For now, the breakup rumors remain unconfirmed. LionhearTV is open to publishing the side of both Ricci Rivero and Leren Bautista regarding the real status of their relationship.
