Sarah Lahbati recently addressed rumors about a “mystery man” seen with her in Hong Kong, confirming that he is merely a friend. The clarification came after the actress was spotted in a photo that sparked curiosity among netizens and was reported by showbiz insider Ogie Diaz.
During an interview with MJ Marfori on Tiktok, Lahbati explained her trip to Hong Kong was to attend the Art Basel fair, a long-standing dream of hers, where she also met up with friends, including the man in question. Emphasizing her single status, Lahbati conveyed that having male friends is normal and speculation is expected given her current relationship status.
The actress, known for her role in the upcoming series “Lumuhod Ka sa Lupa,” alongside Kiko Estrada and Sid Lucero, recently announced her separation from Richard Gutierrez, with whom she shares two children, Kai and Zion. The couple, married in 2020, is focusing on co-parenting their children.
