The Philippine entertainment scene has been buzzing with talks about the supposed breakup between Julia Barretto and Gerald Anderson. Fans and netizens alike have been eager to know the truth behind the rumors, which started circulating after noticeable changes in their social media behavior.

Why Did the Rumors Start?
The rumors began in early 2025, when fans observed that Julia and Gerald were no longer posting pictures together as often as they used to. Julia has been sharing solo travel photos and other personal posts without Gerald, while Gerald shared photos focusing on his motorcycle rides and his resort in Zambales.
Adding fuel to the fire, Julia deleted several photos with Gerald from her Instagram account between March and May 2025. These actions led to speculation and discussions among fans, who questioned whether the couple had parted ways.
Where and When Did the Post Changes Happen?
Their last publicly shared photo together was more than a year before the recent rumors, specifically a birthday greeting to Gerald in 2023. Gerald’s last post that included Julia was in January 2025, which showed him alone.
Further stirring speculation, Gerald was notably absent in the family birthday celebration of Julia’s mother, Marjorie Barretto, held in May 2025. Although he did comment on Marjorie’s post with a simple birthday greeting, his absence from photos sparked curiosity.
What Is the Camp’s Reaction?
Neither Julia nor Gerald has publicly confirmed or denied the breakup rumors. However, it is important to note that both still follow each other on Instagram, which suggests that their connection remains intact despite the speculations.
The source of the rumors was traced back to an entertainment website that published the story without first consulting Julia’s management, causing backlash for spreading unverified information. Julia’s camp emphasized the need for media to verify facts before releasing such sensitive stories.
Why Do the Rumors Persist?
- Several factors contribute to the persistence of these rumors:
- The public’s high interest in the couple’s relationship makes any change in their social media presence highly scrutinized.
- The speed at which social media spreads information, regardless of its accuracy, fuels speculation and gossip.
- Both Julia and Gerald have experienced changes in their public appearances and personal lives that fans interpret as signs of a breakup.
Julia’s Career and Current Projects
Despite the rumors, Julia has been actively focusing on her career. In May 2025, she began guest co-hosting the long-running noontime show Eat Bulaga! on TV5. Initially shy and introverted, Julia has gradually warmed up to her role and impressed audiences with her natural charm and impromptu singing.
Fans have called on the show’s producers to make her a regular co-host, provided it does not conflict with her other commitments.
What’s the Truth?
Up to this point, neither Julia Barretto nor Gerald Anderson has officially confirmed a breakup. They continue to maintain a social media connection, and many hope that their relationship is still intact. It is a reminder for fans and media alike to avoid jumping to conclusions and to wait for official statements.
