This is what Claudine Barretto said after she reunited with her niece.
Multi-awarded actress Claudine Barretto has this to say about her recent reunion with actress Julia Barretto, her niece.
Seasoned Starmaker Johnny Manahan gathered all the stars he made during his birthday which marked some of the most remarkable reunions. Among these reunions was the reunion of Julia Barretto with her aunt Claudine Barretto.
Julia and Claudine reunited and bonded at Manahan’s birthday party. The even was star-studded held at Newport World Resorts on Saturday and their reunion was recorded. It went viral and it warmed the hearts of many people.
In one of the videos, Claudine and Julia were seen clinging to each other as they smiled at the camera. There was even one clip where the younger actress was seen leaning closer to her aunt at one point.
After this event, Claudine spoke about this and she expressed that she was “really, really very happy”. There would be times when they would see each other during events but would often have just small talk.
She shared, “I am really, really very happy. We see each other but only for a few times. The last we saw each other was [in] Zsazsa Zaturnnah. It was always just fast during family gatherings. She would just kiss me and greet [me]. But we would not be able to catch up.”
But that night was the time they were able to spend time. She missed the hugs and the kisses. She missed those and added that she understands the situation of her niece being put in a difficult place between her and her mother. There may be tension between her and Marjorie but her sister did not stop Julia from staying in touch.
To recall, in a 2023 interview on “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda”, the Optimum actress revealed that all is well between her and her sister Marjorie Barretto. This also paved way for her to have a good relationship with her nieces Dominique, Julia, Claudia, Dani, and nephew Leon.
They don’t get to talk but all is well. She is proud of her niece Julia who is an actress just like her and she even hoped that her niece can have more projects to have a break and for her talent to be showcased.
