Gerald Anderson’s recent Instagram post showing him enjoying nature with his mom and friends has stirred speculation among fans — mainly due to the absence of his girlfriend, actress Julia Barretto.

While the actor appeared relaxed in the photos, netizens quickly pointed out that Barretto was notably missing. Her absence has raised eyebrows, especially since she often accompanies Anderson during vacations.

Fans took to the comments section to express their curiosity, asking whether the couple is still together.

“Bat laging wala c juliabarretto? (Why is Julia Barretto not always there?),” one user asked.

“Ge, mauna ka ng umamin na break na kayo ni julia para di nya or nila sabihin na ginosting mo sya! show [u]s proof na nagbreak kayo ng maayos para hindi nila sabihing niloko mo or ginosting mo sya at magulat silang may bago ka ng ka relationship ulit or you are free to date anyone already same as her! (Admit first that you and Julia broke up so people won't accuse you of ghosting or cheating if they see you dating someone new.)," another fan advised.

Others echoed the same sentiment: “Kayo pa po ba ni julia? I read somewhere na mutual daw decision niyo mag break (Are you still together with Julia? I read somewhere that you mutually decided to break up.)," said another fan.

As of writing, neither Anderson nor Barretto has issued a statement confirming or denying the rumors.
