Julia Barretto may have already celebrated her birthday in advance through a cool Mexican-themed party last March 4, but the happy moments keep coming.

Joshua Garcia wrote a sweet birthday message for Julia on Instagram, and he did not shy away from expressing his feelings for his love-team partner and rumored girlfriend. Published a little after midnight of March 10, Julia’s birthday, the message reads, “Happy Birthday to my partner, my fan, my friend, my best friend, and my love. Someone I love was born [on this day.] I wish you all the happiness in life; I will be here for you and I will protect you. Happy Birthday, Baba! Alabu.”

Julia is now 21 years old.

These two are big on sweet birthday gestures. Last year, Julia surprised Joshua with a birthday cake, even when she was feeling under the weather.
