Longtime couple Julia Barretto and Gerald Anderson are confirmed to have broken up.
ABS-CBN’s talent management arm Star Magic revealed the Julia and Gerald’s relationship status in a statement published on social media on Thursday, September 18.
“Star Magic confirms that Gerald Anderson and Julia Barretto have mutually decided to end their relationship,” said the actor’s label.
“We request the public to respect their decision and refrain from spreading false narratives,” it added, noting that the two are “grateful to their fans and friends for the love and support.”
Julia’s management, Viva Artists Agency, likewise, echoed the same statement, falsifying circulating claims on the reason behind their breakup.
“On behalf of our artist, Viva Artists Agency confirms that Julia Barretto and Gerald Anderson have mutually and amicably parted ways for some time now.
The circulating speculations in recent weeks regarding the reason for their breakup are unfounded and baseless.
We emphasize that only information coming directly from Julia or Gerald should be regarded as accurate, as they are the primary parties involved. Any other claims are merely attempts to ride on the issue or to spread false information,” wrote Viva.
The two were together for than five years, revealing their relationship to the public in 2021.
Speculation about a breakup began after fans observed the couple’s limited recent interaction on social media, alongside claims that Julia had removed some of their photos together from her Instagram.
Gerald, however, clarified in an interview with Toni Gonzaga released early June, that all is well between them.
