Ruffa Gutierrez, Herbert Bautista taking break for personal reflection

Ruffa Gutierrez revealed on 'Fast Talk with Boy Abunda' that she and her partner Herbert Bautista are currently not speaking to each other due to a 'bump' in their relationship.

The actress noted during the June 12 episode of the show that this period is giving them both time for personal reflection, hoping it will help them decide where they want their relationship to go.

Despite the current challenges, Ruffa expressed gratitude towards Herbert for encouraging her studies and reiterated the importance of finding a companion who is a best friend and soulmate rather than rushing into marriage.

Ruffa first met Herbert when she was 13 years old, and they reconnected professionally later in life. They publicly acknowledged their relationship in June 2024, after working together on 'The House Arrest of Us' in 2020.

When asked if they were living together, Ruffa clarified that she does not believe in cohabitation before marriage, emphasizing the importance of space and excitement in a relationship.
