The sightings come a month after Rivero and Bautista were seen checking out plushie toys at a shopping mall.
The pair’s alleged romance emerged in June, after the beauty queen-turned-politician was accused as the third party in Rivero and actress Andrea Brillante’s 14-month relationship. The athlete and Brillantes eventually called it quits for good last May.
Following their split, Brillantes then accused Rivero of cheating on her after witnessing a naked woman in his apartment. Rivero, however, denied the allegations, saying the woman that Brillantes saw was “not his” but a companion’s girlfriend.
Meanwhile, Bautista’s camp denied any romantic involvement with the baller in an official statement last June 12, claiming the rumors were “false and have no basis in reality.”
