Two months after denying their alleged romance, beauty queen-turned-politician Leren Mae Bautista and basketball player Ricci Rivero were spotted in two different occasions.
The two are sparking dating rumors anew after alleged photos of them shopping at a variety store in a mall circulated online on Thursday.
Photos showed the two wearing baseball caps and face masks.
Leren and Ricci were also spotted going out for a morning jog together at the UP Los Baños Freedom Park, as reported by Pep.
The two wore matching black sportswear as seen in the photos.
Leren was previously linked to Ricci after she posted a photo of the latter in an Instagram story amid his breakup with ex-girlfriend Andrea Brillantes.
She also greeted Ricci on his birthday with photos of the outreach activity he participated in her hometown, Los Baños, where she currently serves as a councilor.
After being caught on third party speculations, the Bb. Pilipinas Globe 2019 dismissed the “disinformation” saying the claims are “entirely false and have no basis in reality”.
The official statement also called on the public to “refrain from creating malicious and insinuating comments on social media” and to “understand the importance of fact-checking information shared across various internet platforms”.
Ricci, on the other hand, also came to the defense of Leren and denied the dating speculations.
