The confirmation came as a relief to fans who have been following the couple's quiet romance. For a long time, Richard and Barbie remained elusive, avoiding joint interviews and public appearances. The only clues followers had were rare sightings of the two, most notably in South Korea while Richard was filming for the series Incognito.
During the event, Barbie addressed the rumors of them "hiding" their romance. “Can I just say that we weren't hiding, we just choose to have a private relationship talaga, [because] we know na ayaw namin ng, even I, what people don’t know they can’t ruin,” she explained. She emphasized that their silence was a conscious effort to protect what they have from outside interference.
Richard echoed these sentiments, noting that a low-key approach has worked best for them. “I agree from the beginning, ganun talaga. We want to keep things private. Mas relaxed yung ganun, mas gusto namin yung ganun,” he added.
