Kazel Kinouchi has broken her silence and addressed the rumors that have been linking her with Richard Gutierrez since last year.
On Lutong Bahay last Friday, Kazel shared her side after her name was brought up amid Richard and Sarah Lahbati's split. Kazel denied that she and Richard were in a relationship.
“Last year, nadikit 'yung name ko sa kanya. Parang nakita kami together sa breakup,” Kazel told host Mikee Quintos.
She clarified that they were spotted during Halloween since they live in the same village.
“We have common friends. Actually, hindi nga kami friends ni Richard,” Kazel explained.
“So sakto, nandun lang siya, same street. 'Tapos, na-picture-an kami. May picture ako kumukuha sa isang bahay, 'tapos, siya nandun din sa kabilang bahay. So, ganun lang 'yung nangyari,” she added.
“Kasi nga, di ba, may issue? So, ano lang... naghahanap lang 'yung mga tao ng reason kung bakit," the Abot Kamay na Pangarap star concluded.
Richard and Sarah were involved in breakup rumors when netizens noticed the actress was not present at Annabelle Rama's birthday party in late 2023. After months of speculation, Sarah confirmed in early March that they had separated.
The former couple unfollowed each other on Instagram in January, and in that same month, Sarah moved into a new home.
