Sarah Lahbati Gives Birth to Richard Gutierrez Baby Boy: Report

Former GMA-7 talent and controversial star Sarah Lahbati has given birth to Richard Gutierrez's baby, a source told entertainment website Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP.ph).

According to the said source, Sarah Lahbati  gave birth last April to a baby boy which they named Zion. The source added that an MMS photo of the baby was sent to the Gutierrez family at the height of Annabelle Rama's congressional campaign in Cebu three months ago.

It can be recalled that Sarah Lahbati flew to Switzerland last January in the midst of the issue between her and GMA-7 executive Anette Gozon-Abrogar. Sarah was with her mother during departure, saying that she will study there.

While in Switzerland, Sarah Lahbati was visited by boyfriend Richard Gutierrez several times.

The sudden decision of Sarah Lahbati made others speculate that she's pregnant with boyfriend Richard Gutierrez's baby. However, Sarah and Richard were both keen in denying the issue.

Just last month, Sarah Lahbati returned to the Philippines to face the libel charges filed against her. A sexy Sarah Lahbati faced the media, debunking the pregnancy rumors. When asked about the pregnancy issue, Sarah chose not to comment. However, others still believed that she got pregnant and has already given birth by the time she came back to the country.

Sarah Lahbati and Richard Gutierrez's camps have not yet released a statement about the issue.

"Nag-lunch kami at napag-usapan namin ang tungkol sa case, parang walang nangyari at back to normal ang kwentuhan. Nag-sorry siya nag-sorry din ako at doon natapos ang almost 1 year naming mala-telenobelang tampuhan," Anabelle added.

Meanwhile, Nadia also posted a Twitter message referring to the reconciliation that happened. "Forgiveness frees me fr all my burdens and battles! 1 lesson i will never forget! God is good! Trust n believe in God's perfect timing!" she said without mentioning Annabelle.

Nadia Montenegro on Annabelle Rama: "She's not worth a tear"

Former actress Nadia Montenegro had her exclusive interview with Boy Abunda last Sunday, April 22 on The Buzz. In the said talk, Nadia shared her feelings about Annabelle Rama.

While narrating the story, Nadia was teary-eyed but she made sure that not a single tear drop from her eyes because according to her, Annabelle is not worth the tear.

Nadia Montenegro said it all started when she and her husband Boy Asistio trusted Rama to manage the careers of their two daughters who also wanted to try show business. During that time, she said she was really comfortable that nothing bad will ever happen to her kids because it was Rama who’s looking after them.

Nadia narrated that the problem started when she and Annabelle had an argument regarding the schedule of her daughters, to which from the very start was agreed upon to prioritize school and should only work during weekends. But soon that would not be the case.

Nadia narrated:

“When I told her na ‘Tita Annabelle nag-usap na kami ni Boy and then we decided na baka pupuwede namang mapag-usapan na natin ito. Patigilin na natin ang mga bata. Mag-aaral na lang sila.’ Hindi raw puwede kasi package deal daw sila ng mga talents daw niya. Hindi daw puwede kasi masisira daw pangalan niya sa ganito.” 

Asked why people should believe her stories, Montenegro said: 

“Totoo lang ang sinasabi ko. Kilala niyo kung anong klaseng babae ang kalaban ko. Patawarin nga ako ng Diyos, kung hindi lang ako si ako, ibang laban. Sabi ko nga matagal nang burado sa mundo itong taong ito. Pero hindi ganun. Gusto ko makita siyang naghihirap sa mga kasalanan niya.”

She also gave a message to Rama. 

“Annabelle you claim that you go to church everyday pero araw-araw mayroon ka ring sinusumpang tao. Araw-araw may sinasaktan kang tao. Nasa korte na tayo. Tama na,” 

Right after the interview aired, Rama was quick to air her side on Twitter.

“Demonyitang sinungaling! Napakapangit mo sa TV, mukha kang mangkukulam. Napakasinungaling mo,” she said.
