Ricci Rivero and Juliana Gomez have once again fueled relationship speculation after a video of them holding hands at a mall circulated on social media.
In the clip, the two were seen walking side by side, apparently coming from a gadget shop, with Rivero smiling as he chatted while keeping hold of Gomez’s hand. Gomez was dressed casually in a denim jacket, pants, and sneakers, while Rivero wore a jacket paired with slim-fit joggers.
The sighting quickly drew reactions online, with many netizens convinced that the two are romantically involved. Some negative comments also surfaced in the comment section of the TikTok post that shared the video.

This is not the first time Rivero and Gomez have been spotted together. In November 2025, they were seen at a wall-climbing gym alongside a fan. The following month, Rivero attended the 33rd Southeast Asian Games not as a player but to support Gomez, who competed in fencing. He was also seen in the venue with Gomez’s friend, Claudia Barretto.
Earlier, Gomez’s father, actor and politician Richard Gomez, revealed in a November episode of Fast Talk with Boy Abunda that his daughter had a new suitor.
“Meron nanliligaw ngayon. Alam ko nag-break sila nung isang boyfriend niya. Pero a few months ago, parang may nanliligaw ulit. Umaaligid-aligid,” Richard said, adding that Juliana had already introduced the suitor to their family, though he did not disclose the identity.
Rivero was previously linked to former beauty queen Leren Mae Bautista and actress Andrea Brillantes.
As of this writing, neither Rivero nor Gomez has issued a statement confirming or denying the nature of their relationship.
