Richard Gutierrez and Barbie Imperial missed Filipino food, so they dined at Manila Restaurant in a part of Italy. It looked like lumpia was laid out on their table.
The restaurant owner thanked them for visiting (and eating) at the restaurant. No mention was made of anyone else being with them, so it seems like only the two of them ate. Richard could be asked about this since he has reportedly returned to the country, of course, with Barbie.
Netizens were upset with the restaurant owner and staff for posting their photo, saying it was supposed to be a private outing. While they agreed to have their photos taken, was it really necessary to post them?
Other netizens responded by asking, what’s the point of taking photos if they’re not going to be posted? It would be odd to just keep them hidden, which is also reasonable.
Some netizens were thankful for the photos, saying it confirmed that Richard and Barbie are now a couple. They called it a "relationship reveal" when their photos were posted.
Hopefully, the next step will be a status reveal for the two. There’s nothing wrong with them being in a relationship, according to many, especially since Barbie is single, and Richard has already separated from Sarah Lahbati.
