Julia Barretto and Gerald Anderson.

Julia Barretto spent her 28th birthday with her actor boyfriend Gerald Anderson, bonding over food and a motorcycle trip.

Anderson gave a glimpse of their ride through his Instagram page on Monday, March 10. The actor drove the motorcycle while Julia was sitting on the passenger seat, holding onto him. The couple also dined together at an undisclosed restaurant.

“Birthday Ride with the Birthday Girl. Happy Birthday Mi bebé,” Anderson said in the caption.

On her Instagram page also on Monday, Julia expressed her gratitude for the birthday love she received.

“So grateful for another year, and to everyone sending their love today. Means the world to me,” she wrote.

Aside from Anderson, Julia’s parents, Marjorie Barretto and Dennis Padilla, sent their birthday wishes for her as well through their respective Instagram pages.

“Happy Birthday to my Julia, my daughter, my friend. Thanks for loving me so much. You had a great year, can’t wait to see what this coming year has in store for you,” Marjorie said.

Padilla, for his part, dedicated his “Have I Told You Lately that I Love You” performance to Julia and hoped to talk to her and see her soon.

Meanwhile, Julia and Anderson also earlier celebrated the latter’s 36th birthday in a party attended by their loved ones and fellow celebrities.

Julia and Anderson confirmed their relationship to the public in 2021, although the actor revealed in September 2024 that they had already been together for five years at the time.

“Of course. Five years na kami, but itong moment na ‘to, ‘yung moment niya ngayon, let her enjoy. Huwag nating madaliin,” Anderson said when asked if he already saw the actress as the “right somebody” for him.
