🔥 SHOCKING! Julia Barretto Returns Gerald Anderson’s Gifts — Including Rolex and Cartier Watches! 🔴

MANILA, Philippines – The showbiz world is in an absolute frenzy as reports surface that actress Julia Barretto has allegedly returned expensive gifts to ex-boyfriend Gerald Anderson. The list of returned items reportedly includes luxury timepieces like a Rolex and a Cartier watch, sending shockwaves through their respective fan bases and reigniting speculation about their relationship status.


A Telling Sign? The Significance of Returned Gifts

The act of returning high-value gifts, especially iconic brands like Rolex and Cartier, is often seen as a definitive statement in a relationship. For many, this move by Julia Barretto could signal a permanent end to her on-again, off-again romance with Gerald Anderson. It raises questions about what truly transpired between the two, leading to such a drastic and public gesture.

The Mystery Deepens: What Prompted This Move?

While neither Julia nor Gerald has officially confirmed the return of the gifts or their relationship status, the rumors have been swirling for a while. Speculation about a potential breakup intensified recently after fans noticed changes in their social media activity. If these reports are true, what specific event or realization could have driven Julia to return such valuable tokens of affection

A highly sensational headline, “🔥JULIA BARRETTO IBINALIK ANG MGA REGALO NI GERALD—KABILANG ANG ROLEX AT CARTIER NA RELO!🔴” (JULIA BARRETTO RETURNED GERALD’S GIFTS—INCLUDING A ROLEX AND CARTIER WATCH!), has recently exploded across social media and certain news outlets. This dramatic claim implies a definitive breakup between the prominent celebrity couple, Julia Barretto and Gerald Anderson, complete with the symbolic return of luxury items.

However, a thorough examination of recent and reliable reports suggests that this headline is highly misleading and likely to be false, serving as clickbait or misrepresenting the current state of their relationship.

Gerald Anderson Denies Breakup Rumors (as of June 2025)

Just days ago, in early June 2025, Gerald Anderson himself explicitly denied any breakup with Julia Barretto. In back-to-back interviews with Toni Gonzaga on “Toni Talks” and Julius Babao on “Julius Babao Unplugged,” Anderson unequivocally stated that they are still together.

During these interviews, which were released on June 1 and 2, 2025, respectively, Anderson addressed the breakup speculations head-on. He clarified that:

“We’re okay. I dropped her off at the airport earlier. She’s going to Dubai, that’s why I arrived a bit early,” he told Toni Gonzaga.
“We haven’t broken up, we’re still together,” he reiterated to Julius Babao.
He dismissed claims that photos of the couple had been deleted from their Instagram accounts, asserting that they are still up and they continue to follow each other.

Anderson also expressed frustration at how netizens often jump to conclusions based on minimal social media changes, a sentiment echoed by Toni Gonzaga. He acknowledged that their relationship, now in its fifth year, has had its “ups and downs” but emphasized that these challenges have only made them stronger. He praised Julia for her “poise, grace, and maturity,” noting her significant positive impact on his life. He even spoke about contemplating fatherhood, mentioning that his own father is fond of Julia and eager for a grandchild.

The Origin of the “Gifts Returned” Claim

The specific mention of returning luxury gifts, including a Rolex and Cartier watch, seems to stem from a YouTube video with the sensationalized title. It is well-documented that Gerald Anderson gifted Julia Barretto her first Rolex watch for Christmas in late 2021, and she also received a Cartier gift in early 2024. These highly valuable gifts were public knowledge, making them prime targets for a sensational headline if breakup rumors were to circulate.

However, given Gerald’s direct and very recent denial of a split, the claim that Julia has returned these gifts is almost certainly unsubstantiated. Such an action would typically only occur in the event of a significant and definite separation, which Gerald has clearly stated is not the case. The headline leverages the knowledge of these past gifts to create a more impactful, albeit false, narrative of a dramatic breakup.

The Reality of Their Relationship: Privacy and Maturity

Throughout their relationship, which began amidst significant controversy in 2019, Julia and Gerald have often faced intense public scrutiny. They have, in recent years, opted for a more private approach to their romance, consciously deciding not to post every single moment of their lives on social media. This decision, as Julia explained in a 2024 episode of “Magandang Buhay,” is precisely to avoid the very kind of speculation that these recent headlines represent. “Hindi dapat bawat galaw alam ng lahat so siguro that’s why they think [that],” she stated, highlighting how their reduced social media presence can be misinterpreted.

Despite this, they have continued to show subtle signs of their enduring relationship:

Julia posted a heartfelt birthday message for Gerald in March 2025, praising him as “the kindest, most selfless person.”
They have been spotted at various industry events together, including the ABS-CBN Ball.

These actions consistently contradict the narrative of a hostile breakup or the returning of significant gifts.

Conclusion

The headline “🔥JULIA BARRETTO IBINALIK ANG MGA REGALO NI GERALD—KABILANG ANG ROLEX AT CARTIER NA RELO!🔴” appears to be a classic example of online clickbait, exploiting existing knowledge about the couple’s luxury gifts and recent, quickly dismissed breakup rumors. Gerald Anderson has clearly stated that he and Julia Barretto are still together. There is no credible information from either party, or reliable media outlets, to suggest that Julia has returned any gifts, let alone high-value items like Rolex and Cartier watches, as a sign of a breakup.

The public should exercise caution and verify information from official sources or reputable news outlets when encountering such sensational claims, especially concerning the personal lives of public figures. For now, it seems the “JuRald” romance, despite the persistent rumors, continues to thrive.
