Gerald Anderson celebrates 36th Birthday with family and Julia Barretto

Actor Gerald Anderson turned to social media to share glimpses of his intimate birthday celebration as he turned 36 on 7 March.

On Instagram, Anderson posted several snapshots from his birthday gathering, which was attended by his family, close friends, and loved ones.

"36!! I don’t really party, but this party is all about gratitude," the actor wrote in his caption.

He also expressed his heartfelt appreciation for everyone who has been part of his journey, acknowledging the love and support he has received over the years.

"Thank you for all the love and greetings, everyone. 36 years of wins, losses, lessons, and blessings — keep going," he added.

Based on the shared snaps, the actor celebrated his 36th birthday at the Globe Asiatique Sky Lounge in Mandaluyong City, where the venue was transformed into a bachelor-themed party organized by his friends.

Meanwhile, his longtime girlfriend, Julia Barretto, also took to social media to pen a sweet birthday message for Anderson.

"The kindest, most selfless person. Happy birthday, love," Barretto wrote on her Instagram, accompanied by a series of photos capturing their memorable moments together.

The photos included snapshots from their beach getaway, their trip to the United States, and a photo from 2024 when Gerald was promoted to Auxiliary Captain of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG).

In 2019, Barretto and Anderson became the center of controversy after their highly publicized breakups with their former partners, Joshua Garcia and Bea Alonzo. Despite the challenges, the couple has since grown stronger and continues to thrive in both their personal and professional lives.

Anderson is best known for his roles in hit films and TV series such as "On the Job", "My Perfect You", and "A Family Affair". Meanwhile, Barretto is recognized for her performances in "Expensive Candy", "Unexpectedly Yours", and "Block Z".

As Anderson steps into another year of his life, fans continue to show their love and support for the actor — celebrating not only his birthday but also the inspiring journey he has had so far.
