Julia Barretto has allegedly addressed the issue of her breakup with her boyfriend Gerald Anderson. It’s said to be a clear answer—if you can read between the lines. Julia posted a blue heart on her Instagram, which caught attention. Even more striking was the message from her sister, Dani Barretto, who commented, “I love you.”

Dani’s message was seen as very meaningful, especially paired with Julia’s caption on a set of assorted photos showing their family bonding time in May. The post was shared on May 31 and served as a reflection on recent family moments, including Marjorie Barretto’s birthday and various outings. Notably absent from all the photos was Gerald Anderson.

According to an update from The Philippine Entertainment News, many are asking whether Julia’s post was a subtle confirmation that she and Gerald have broken up. What could the balloon emoji in her caption symbolize? Netizens also noticed the absence of Gerald in the photos and the caption that featured three balloon emojis. Could it mean freedom? Do we really have to read between the lines? That’s what netizens are asking.

Following Dani Barretto’s “I love you” message, many netizens believe that Julia is going through something difficult in her relationship with Gerald Anderson. There are no rumors of a third party—nothing like that. So what really happened?

There had been questions before about whether their relationship would lead to marriage, but it now seems unlikely. However, some netizens speculate that this could all be a publicity stunt, since both Julia and Gerald have upcoming projects. Julia’s handler has also denied the breakup rumors, saying there is no truth to the reports that the two have split.

Still, Julia’s recent posts seem to hint at something. Perhaps they are not yet ready to confirm anything officially, but people believe the time will come. For now, many are sending comforting messages to Julia Barretto, and her fans continue to show their unwavering support.
