A netizen took to TikTok to upload a video showing the two walking hand in hand, laughing and chatting as they strolled around the mall.

This isn’t the first time the pair has been seen together. Ricci was previously spotted in the audience during Juliana’s fencing match at the 33rd South east Asian Games held in Bangkok and Chonburi, Thailand, last December. The two were also seen together at a wall-climbing gym in November.

As of writing, neither Ricci nor Juliana has confirmed or denied the dating rumors.

Meanwhile, Juliana’s father, actor politician Richard Gomez, shared in an interview with Boy Abunda last year that his daughter—whom he shares with Ormoc City Mayor Lucy Torres-Gomez—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,” Richard said.
