Love always comes with unexpected twists and turns, even if you’re a celebrity. One such twist came to light during an Instagram live stream celebrating BLACKPINK‘s seventh anniversary. A renowned young Filipino actress, Andrea Brillantes, had a candid exchange with Rosé. Andrea updated the girl group member on her recent breakup with athlete-model Ricci Rivero.
The backstory is as intriguing as the update itself. Andrea had previously sought Rosé’s assistance for her promposal to Ricci Rivero. This event occurred during BLACKPINK‘s March concert at the Philippine Arena. Between songs, Rosé and Lisa paused to acknowledge a “promposal” sign held up by Andrea. The result? A beaming Ricci, present at the concert, accepted Andrea‘s proposal, and they attended the Star Magical Prom on March 30th together.
It was during one the group’s banters with the audience when Lisa and Rosé read the “promposal” sign Andrea held to invite Ricci to the Star Magical Prom.

Fast forward to the live stream, where Rosé engaged with fans, reminiscing about their cherished memories as BLINKs (BLACKPINK fans). Andrea chimed in, mentioning the unforgettable promposal moment. Rosé remembered her and said, “Oh, was that you? I think it was somewhere in Southeast Asia. I don’t remember, but I do remember [your promposal], I do.”
However, the conversation took a surprising turn when Andrea updated Rosé about her relationship status, typing, “We broke up now.” Rosé‘s reaction was genuine and spontaneous. She covered her mouth, laughing at the unforeseen revelation, and remarked, “You broke up now? Oh no, I’ll pretend I didn’t see that.”

Andrea reassured the K-pop star quickly, emphasizing that she’s in a good place and remains happy post-breakup. Rosé, the supportive figure, gave Andrea a thumbs-up, saying, “I’m happy that you’re happy.”
Andrea has moved on and Rosé supports her
The relationship timeline of Andrea and Ricci is noteworthy. The two officially became a couple on April 9 of the previous year. The romantic gesture was made by Ricci, a collegiate basketball player, who proposed to Andrea after the University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons won against the Far Eastern University Tamaraws.
Unfortunately, the rumor mill was abuzz with speculations about their breakup by May. Some even believed beauty pageant titleholder-turned-politician Leren Bautista played a role in their split. For his part, Ricci refuted claims of a third party causing their breakup. Reflecting on the past, Andrea said she has moved on and holds no grudges against her ex-boyfriend.
Their relationship is strong but Rosé's curse is stronger.
