Currently, Sarah’s world revolves around three things: her children, Zion and Kai, her career, and herself. While she isn't actively looking for a partner, she hasn't closed her heart to the possibility. “Definitely I'm curious as to what all of that stuff will be for me because my whole world right now, as you know, is me and my kids and my job. And so love is not necessarily a priority. But then I know it's going to come, and I want my fairy tale,” she shared candidly.

The actress described her current state as a mix of "rebuilding" and "reclaiming." For Sarah, rebuilding means tending to the wounds that are still healing, while reclaiming is about rediscovering her "womanhood" and her professional drive. She admitted that she still has love to give, though she is keeping it “tucked in somewhere” for the right time.

When the time comes for a serious relationship, Sarah knows exactly what she wants. She’s looking for something that isn't forced—a connection that feels natural and organic. “I want it to be funny. I wanted it to be supportive. I wanted to be rooted in friendship before anything,” she explained. She also touched on how her perspective has changed, noting that she no longer believes "love is everything," as putting that much pressure on a relationship can cause it to crumble.

Sarah Lahbati first rose to fame as the ultimate survivor of StarStruck in 2010. Beyond her acting career, she became a household name through her decade-long relationship with Richard Gutierrez. The couple, who married in 2020 after years of being together, were often seen as a "power couple" in the industry. However, by late 2023, rumors of a split began to surface, eventually leading to their confirmed separation and the ongoing annulment process in 2025. Today, Sarah is embracing her "solo era" with a glow that many fans find inspiring.

Actress Barbie Imperial recently addressed the rumors linking her to the end of Richard and Sarah’s marriage. In a candid interview, Barbie clarified that she only entered the picture long after the former couple had already separated and were living in different houses. She stressed that she was not a "third party" and that the two had already decided to move forward individually before her relationship with Richard began.

In another recent talk, Sarah Lahbati reflected on how the public often perceives the lives of celebrities as perfect. She admitted that while her life might look like a fairy tale on social media, she has faced significant challenges and heartbreaks behind the scenes. Sarah encouraged her followers to focus on authentic healing rather than maintaining an image of perfection, noting that true strength comes from being honest about one's struggles.
