Netizen spots Ricci Rivero, Juliana Gomez at a mall holding hands

Are Ricci Rivero and Juliana Gomez dating?

In a TikTok video making the rounds online, the two athletes were seen at a mall’s tech section, holding hands and talking.

This video sparked dating rumors, with most people in the comments section having negative reactions.

This is not the first time that Ricci and Juliana were spotted together.

At the 33rd Southeast Asian Games in Thailand last month, the basketball star was spotted at Juliana’s fencing game, together with Juliana's best friend Claudia Barretto.

In a November 2025 episode of “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,” Juliana’s father Richard Gomez said Juliana 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,” he said.

According to Richard, Juliana had already introduced her suitor during a family dinner.

“Just be happy lang and alam mo naman yung limitations mo. Dalaga ka, maganda ka, hindi ka pa kasal, so may limits,” Richard said.

Ricci was previously in a relationship with former beauty queen Leren Mae Bautista and Andrea Brillantes.
