Rumors are once again swirling around Julia Barretto and Gerald Anderson, following noticeable changes on Julia’s Instagram account.
Several photos featuring the couple have quietly disappeared from her feed, prompting netizens to wonder if the two have indeed gone their separate ways.
As of writing, neither Julia nor Gerald has addressed the renewed speculation, choosing to stay silent amid questions about the status of their relationship.
While the pair has been the subject of breakup rumors in the past, they’ve always managed to dispel such claims through subtle public appearances or sweet social media posts. In fact, they’ve both said before that just because they don’t post frequently doesn’t mean they’ve broken up.
However, the recent photo purge — with only a few couple shots left behind — has rekindled talks that the relationship may be in trouble.
Coinciding with the speculation, Gerald is gaining buzz for his upcoming ABS-CBN thriller series ‘Sins of the Father’. The teaser suggests that his character becomes entangled in a business scam orchestrated by a character played by John Arcilla, who is later revealed to be his father.
The dark family drama has intrigued fans, with netizens anticipating intense plot twists and power-packed performances from an ensemble cast that includes Jessy Mendiola, Shaina Magdayao, JC De Vera, Francine Diaz, Seth Fedelin, Joko Diaz, and Tirso Cruz III, among others.
Julia and Gerald’s love story began in 2019 with the movie ‘Between Maybes’. At the time, Gerald was fresh from a controversial breakup with Bea Alonzo, and Julia found herself in the middle of the drama after being accused of being the third party — a claim she strongly denied.
In March 2021, Gerald finally confirmed their relationship in an interview with Boy Abunda, saying he was “very happy” and that Julia was a source of joy in his life. Julia later posted about their relief efforts in Zambales and openly thanked Gerald for “sharing your world” with her.
They’ve spent many milestones together, including holidays with both of their families and countless vacations. Both had openly talked about marriage, with Gerald even calling Julia “the one” in a 2021 interview.
By mid-2022, Julia publicly stated she was ready to say “yes” to a proposal from Gerald, and fans began to hope wedding bells were near. However, when rumors of a secret marriage began spreading in late 2023, Julia shut them down, saying it was something they would share when the time was right.
The sudden disappearance of couple photos — without clarification — has left fans speculating once more. Some believe it could simply be a social media cleanup, while others see it as confirmation of a breakup.
Whatever the case may be, fans are keeping a close eye on both stars’ accounts. With Gerald’s ‘Sins of the Father’ gearing up for release and Julia staying focused on her career and ventures, it remains to be seen if the two will finally set the record straight.
Until then, the question lingers: Are Julia and Gerald still together — or have they quietly called it quits?
