Is It bothering me? No. It takes a lot more for something to bother me. But I think, as a woman, we&#x27;re all allowed to have guy friends. Again, it&#x27;s okay to speculate because again I&#x27;m single and it&#x27;s part of a whole new thing,&quot; she added.</p><p>Meanwhile, Sarah expressed that she remains unbothered by the baseless accusations thrown in her direction.</p><p>“Sanay na kasi. Kung matandaan niyo naman na ang buhay ko ay punung-puno ng makulay na intriga simula sa pagkapanganak ko kay Zion–– remember when that happened–– and up to now, hindi ako nilalayuan ng intriga. So for me it&#x27;s nothing,” she claimed.</p><p>Sarah confirmed her separation with Richard last March in a brief interview with ABS-CBN News. She nonchalantly answered the question about her relationship status which caught many by surprise.</p>
