This is what Gerald Anderson shared about his relationship with Julia Barretto.
In September 2025, Gerald Anderson and Julia Barretto separated, and the actor admitted his shortcomings in their relationship.
ABS-CBN stars Gerald Anderson and Julia Barretto had been together for several years, and many believed they would be each other’s endgame. However, their relationship ultimately did not lead to the happy ending fans had hoped for.
Last September, Gerald and Julia confirmed their split. They did not provide the real reason for their split. And for 2026, the actor is gearing up not for a new love life, but for elevating his career.
He has big plans for next year after his split from the actress, leaving love off the table for now.
Gerald, speaking about a new love, said this based on a previous article, “I don’t think so. Ang main focus right now is building sa professional career ko and building sa personal life. And kapag naghahanap ka ng love life, hindi darating ’yan. Darating lang ’yan unexpectedly. So right now, I’m just focused sa work. Nakikita n’yo naman, iba yung drive ko ngayon.”
Recently, speaking about their relationship, he admitted that his shortcomings led to their separation. He did not specify the things he wanted to improve as a person, but he wants to work on those things before entering a new relationship.
As a person, it is natural for him to commit errors, and there are a lot of things that he still needs to learn.
For now, as a single person, he wanted to focus on his growth personally and professionally. He will be taking time to make a better version of himself, saying, “So, being single right now is I’m taking time talaga to, you know… pag-aaralan kung ano ba ang mga puwede ko pang i-improve bilang isang tao.”
He also expressed, “I have to be the best possible person bago ako pumasok sa bagong relationship.”
