Barbie Imperial and Richard Gutierrez have recently become more transparent about their relationship, though they maintain that they prefer to keep things as private as possible. Barbie has been frequently spotted at Gutierrez family gatherings, bonding with Richard’s siblings and even earning the defense of the family matriarch, Annabelle Rama. Previously, Annabelle slammed netizens who tried to pit her against Barbie, dismissing claims that she would be a "nagging" mother figure to the young actress.

The Gutierrez family is one of the most prominent showbiz clans in the Philippines, led by veteran actor Eddie Gutierrez and talent manager Annabelle Rama. Known for their tight-knit but often publicized family dynamics, the siblings—including Ruffa, Richard, and Raymond—have spent decades in the limelight, navigating both career successes and personal controversies under the watchful eye of the public.

Aside from defending her family's peace, Ruffa has also been focused on her father’s health. She recently shared that Eddie Gutierrez successfully underwent a second operation in Singapore. The actress expressed relief over the positive outcome, noting that the veteran actor is on the road to recovery.
