In a jaw-dropping revelation that’s taken social media by storm, actress Julia Barretto has finally opened up about her controversial breakup with actor Gerald Anderson, years after being accused of coming between Gerald and actress Bea Alonzo.

👀 “The Truth Needs to Be Said.”

During a recent exclusive interview with a local magazine, Julia addressed what she calls “years of unjust assumptions.” Without naming names directly, Julia hinted that a third party may have been the real reason for her split with Gerald Anderson.

“People think they know what happened. But the truth is, there’s more to that story,” Julia said. “I’ve been quiet for years, but silence doesn’t mean guilt. It just means I was choosing peace.”

This marks the first time Julia has spoken out with such candor, sparking widespread speculation about the mysterious woman she subtly referred to as “someone who was there long before the breakup.”

💔 Julia on Gerald: “We Outgrew Each Other.”

Though her relationship with Gerald was once heavily criticized, Julia defended their past love story, describing it as “real but flawed.”

“We loved each other. That’s real. But sometimes, love isn’t enough when you’re not growing in the same direction.”

Julia also confirmed that she and Gerald are no longer in contact, adding: “We’ve both moved on in our own ways.”

🔎 Did Bea Alonzo Play a Role?

While Julia did not mention Bea Alonzo directly, fans were quick to connect the dots, especially after a now-viral clip surfaced months ago showing Bea and Julia sharing a surprisingly warm moment at an event.

The scene shocked netizens, many of whom believed the two actresses were long-time rivals over Gerald.

Gerald himself commented on the interaction: “Time heals. Everything moves forward.”

🚫 Rumors, Misconceptions, and the Price of Fame

Julia also took time to discuss the damaging effects of public speculation, especially during the height of the 2019 controversy.

“I was judged, criticized, and called names… even before I had the chance to defend myself,” she shared. “That’s the price of being in the spotlight.”

She added that what people saw online was only a fraction of the story, and revealed that she had to go through therapy to heal from the hate she received during that time.

🔐 “Private but Strong”: On Moving Forward

Julia confirmed that she is no longer in a relationship with Gerald, despite rumors of reconciliation.

“I’ve learned the value of privacy. If ever I fall in love again, the world won’t know unless I want them to.”

She also encouraged young women to know their worth, saying, “It’s okay to walk away when something no longer serves your peace.”
