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.

In a November 2025 episode of a talk show, Juliana’s father Richard Gomez said Juliana had a new suitor.

“She has a suitor now. I know she broke up with her previous boyfriend. But a few months ago, it seems someone started courting her again. Hanging around,” he said.

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

“Just be happy and you know your limitations. You’re a young lady, you’re beautiful, you’re not married yet, so there are limits,” Richard said.

Ricci was previously in a relationship with a former beauty queen.

33rd Southeast Asian Games

The 33rd Southeast Asian Games were not a place or cultural site, but a multi-sport event held in **Phnom Penh, Cambodia** in 2023. It was historically significant as the first time Cambodia had ever hosted the SEA Games, with competitions taking place across various venues in the capital and surrounding provinces.

Thailand

Thailand, officially the Kingdom of Thailand, is a Southeast Asian nation with a rich history as the only country in the region never colonized by a European power. Its culture is deeply influenced by Theravada Buddhism, visible in its thousands of ornate temples like Bangkok’s Wat Arun and the ancient city of Ayutthaya, a former capital and UNESCO World Heritage site. Known for its vibrant cuisine, tropical beaches, and ornate royal palaces, it blends ancient traditions with rapid modern development.
