Marking her 28th birthday with gratitude this year, actress and vlogger Julia Barretto shared in her Instagram post last March 10, “28!!! So grateful for another year, and to everyone sending their love today. Means the world to me.” The Juju On The Go host also shared her adventurous side by choosing to spend some sweet bonding time on the road with boyfriend Gerald Anderson.

With their birthday just being three days apart, Julia chose to celebrate her 28th birthday with a day ride on Gerald’s motorbike. On his Instagram account, Gerald shared some snapshots of how they spent their day, which included an early start  enjoying a yummy breakfast and wearing identical helmets on their ride. In his Instagram account, he wrote, “Birthday Ride with the Birthday Girl ❤️ Happy Birthday Mi bebé ❤️”

That ride was not the first time Julia has joined her boyfriend as Gerald has also shared posts of their previous rides together with his riding club Drama Moto Club last year. The club, who describe themselves as a “Brotherhood on Bikes,” also includes other celebrities who ride like Sam MIlby, John Prats, Jake Cuenca, Marc Solis, and Sancho Vito.

Last year, Julia and Gerald celebrated her birthday with a quick out-of-town camping trip.

Julia’s older sister Dani also shared some birthday love for her sibling in her account. Dani wrote, “Happy Birthday to my twin soul, my juju @juliabarretto 🥀

“You and I were already inseparable since the day you were born. More so now, I feel weird when I don’t see you in a week because we’ve gotten used to seeing you atleast 3x a week! 😝

“You know how much I love you, Ju.

“Your happiness is my happiness, and your pain is my pain. No matter where life takes us,

“I’m always gonna be beside you, holding your hand through it all.

“I celebrate you every day.

“I love you so much, my juju! ❤️”

On his account, Julia’s dad Dennis Padilla also shared a greeting for his eldest daughter with a throwback photo of the two of them, along with the caption, “Praying for more blessings juy… Love you anak 🙏❤️🎁.” Last month when the character actor celebrated his birthday, Dennis expressed online how happy he was to receive the messages from his children, with whom he was previously estranged.
