For the first time ever, Gerald Anderson shared some reactions to Julia Barretto and Bea Alonzo’s recent viral interaction. Julia became Gerald’s girlfriend, right after he dated Bea. So, obviously, they all have some *history* out there.

Gerald seemed calm and collected with his thoughts saying it’s what’s supposed to happen in real life. He sure welcomed what went on between the two ladies. “Ganun talaga. You know, time heals, eh. Basta moving forward,” he briefly told ABS-CBN News.

ICYMI, Julia and Bea were caught sharing laughs and hugging each other during a party last March 2024. Their moment didn’t look like orchestrated, nor was it done in front of the camera. Instead, it’s clear proof that healing really takes time for people.

It was also the very first time that Julia and Bea were spotted together in an amicable manner while in public since their feud began in 2019.

The Love Triangle: Julia Barretto and Bea Alonzo’s social media rift over Gerald Anderson

ICYDK, Bea and Gerald’s love story goes a long way back. Their romance first fell apart in 2010, before getting their second chance at love in 2016. However, their relationship took a controversial turn when an alleged cheating scandal between Julia and Gerald went viral online.

By July 2019, Bea posted cryptic Instagram stories, alluding to the end of her relationship with Gerald. This was also after netizens spotted Julia and Gerald reportedly getting touchy with each other during a mutual friend’s birthday party.

At the time, the Internet kind of witnessed a messy revelation of breakups. Bea’s cryptic posts prompted Joshua Garcia to admit that he and Julia were no longer a couple at the time.

Just a few weeks after breaking her silence on social media, Bea set the record straight about and revealed that they were still together when the cheating allegations began. In fact, she divulged that Gerald presumably *ghosted* him.

“Honestly, to my understanding, we did not break up. He just started not talking to me,” the actress remarked.

Back then, Gerald strongly refuted claims that there was a third party involved in his breakup with Bea. Julia also denied having been romantically involved with Gerald. It was also around that time that Gerald and Julia filmed their romance movie, Between Maybes.

Weeks later, Julia also shared her sentiments regarding the cheating speculations involving her. “Bea, you wanted to keep your hands clean by not mentioning me in your controversial post, but with a click of your finger, in your sly way, you have charged everybody to destroy me for you. […] You can play the victim all you want, but I refuse to be your victim,” she wrote in a now-deleted 2019 post.

At Present: Gerald Anderson dating Julia Barretto

Almost two years after Gerald and Bea’s messy breakup, the actor broke his silence on his relationship with Julia. They are still happily dating as of writing.

In a tell-all interview with Boy Abunda, he revealed that Julia was his source of happiness. He also confirmed his very happy status with Julia and said, “Very happy, Tito Boy. It’s a yes.”

Just a day after Gerald’s dating confirmation, the two were spotted doing relief work for an Aeta community in Iba, Zambales. Two weeks later, on March 17, 2021, Julia openly shared sweet snaps of them at the relief operations and wrote the sweetest caption about her beau saying, “thank you for sharing your [world] with me @andersongeraldjr *insert heart emoji*”
