Richard Gutierrez, Sarah Lahbati might attend Star Magic Ball

MANILA, Philippines — Even though she is already three months pregnant, actress Sarah Lahbati looked gorgeous and blooming in the blue velvet dress she wore during her launch as a new Closeup ambassador Thursday afternoon in Bonifacio Global City.

Since she seemed ready to strike a pose in the red carpet only two days before Star Magic Ball, Philstar.com asked her if she and her fiancé Richard Gutierrez have been invited to the ball, which is exclusive to Star Magic talents but also accepts non-Star Magic stars like Sarah and Richard “strictly by invitation only.”

“Yes, yes!” Sarah said, confirming that she and Richard were invited to the ball.

Richard’s photo was actually included in a Star Magic primer sent out to the press for the ball.

Though invited, Sarah said this about her and Richard’s attendance: “I don’t know yet.”

“It depends kasi with Chard’s schedule eh. He’s always taping, so we’ll see if we can make it or not,” she explained.

Richard’s “La Luna Sangre” co-stars and the lead love team in the show, Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo, will be at the ball.

Although Sarah is veering from her usual dance numbers on Sunday variety show “ASAP” due to her pregnancy, she said she will not stop engaging in endorsements such as Closeup, which introduces new variants: Arctic Shock and her favorite, Oxyrush, that she said, reflects her adventurous personality.

“Endorsements are always blessings,” she opined.

“Now that I’m pregnant, my project is to focus on my pregnancy,” stressed the actress and mom to five-year-old Zion.
