This isn’t the first time Leren has publicly supported Ricci. Recently, on her Instagram story, she shared a message for her basketball player beau.
Following the post, Leren playfully teased Ricci about his upcoming game in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). She reshared a video posted by Ricci’s brother, Prince Rivero, where Ricci is seen pretending to fold imaginary clothes while on the court.
“Hahahahahaha! ‘Wag ka maglaba, ako na,” joked Leren.
Ricci had previously faced teasing after Andrea revealed in an interview that she once dated someone who didn’t do his laundry.
Although no names were mentioned, netizens speculated that it was referring to Ricci. Ricci later defended himself, saying that the issue was just an attempt to smear his reputation.
