Julia Barretto and Claudine Barretto were all smiles during this event
Viva actress Julia Barretto and her aunt Optimum Star Claudine Barretto reunited at the tribute event organized to give honor to former Star Magic head Jonny Manahan or Mr. M.
It is known to many showbiz fans that Julia was entangled in the Barretto sisters’ feud. Being the daughter of Marjorie Barretto, Julia’s name was somehow dragged into the issue between her mom and her aunts, Claudine and Gretchen Barretto.
There was a time when netizens speculated that Claudine’s “lying hypocrite” post was for Julia. The older actress also caught the attention of many netizens when she posted her birthday message for Julia Montes, calling her “My Julia.”
However, in previous interviews, Julia showed appreciation for Claudine’s acting prowess. The younger actress is also thankful because her aunt became a way for her to enter the entertainment industry.
Claudine Barretto helped Julia Barretto to start her career in showbiz. The Optimum Star was doing the series Walang Kapalit with Piolo Pascual when she recommended that Julia would play the younger version of her character. That opened the door of showbiz for Julia and she fell in love with acting.
Just recently, Julia and Claudine showed that despite the past issues, they are still a family. TikTok page @mindclouds shared a video showing that the two actress were hugging each other with wide smiles on their faces during the party for Mr. M.

In the comment section of this post, netizens expressed happiness to see Julia and Claudine together and that they are okay. “Nakakatuwa na okay na sila Julia at Claudine,” Tiktok user @gang_041320 commented.
Aside from Claudine Barretto, Julia Barretto was also seen hugging and laughing with Bea Alonzo during the event and this made netizens think that they reconciled. To recall, an issue surfaced between them after Bea’s breakup with Gerald Anderson who is the current boyfriend of Julia.
