A Rare Family Moment as Carlos Yulo Celebrates Brother’s Big Day
CARLOS YULO – Even champions need a day off, and Carlos Yulo proved that family moments matter just as much as gold medals.
Double Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo took a well-deserved break from his demanding training schedule to celebrate a special family moment over the weekend. On Saturday, January 24, Carlos marked the birthday of his younger brother, Eldrew Yulo, with a fun-filled trip to the popular theme park Enchanted Kingdom in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.
The celebration brought together the Yulo siblings, with Carlos joined by his sister Elaiza for the memorable day. Also present were Carlos’ partner, Chloe San Jose, and Eldrew’s girlfriend, making the occasion a warm and joyful gathering of loved ones. Photos shared online showed the group all smiles as they explored the park’s attractions, clearly enjoying a rare moment of relaxation and togetherness away from the pressure of elite sports.
Carlos Yulo later shared glimpses of the celebration on social media, expressing his gratitude to the theme park for making the experience extra special. “Maraming salamat po EK sa mainit na pag tanggap, pag alaga sa amin at sa memories na dadalhin namin pauwi! Sobra po kaming nag enjoy,” Carlos wrote in his caption. He ended the post with a heartfelt note for the birthday celebrant, adding, “P.S. Happy birthday Eldrew.”
Fans were quick to react to the post, with many expressing happiness at seeing the siblings together and enjoying each other’s company. Some supporters also shared hopes that moments like this could eventually lead to a full reconciliation between Carlos and his parents, following the very public family tensions that have surrounded the Olympic champion in recent years.
Despite the controversies, Carlos has consistently shown support for his younger siblings, both personally and professionally. Eldrew and Elaiza are steadily building names for themselves in gymnastics, following in the footsteps of their older brother. Eldrew has recently gained attention for his performances in international junior competitions, while Elaiza continues to develop her own promising career in the sport.
Fresh from becoming a national hero after his historic double gold victory at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Carlos’ decision to prioritize family time resonated with many. The birthday celebration at Enchanted Kingdom served as a reminder that beyond medals and podiums, moments of laughter and shared memories with loved ones remain just as meaningful.
