Rumors are swirling once again in showbiz land — and this time, it’s about a wedding.
Word on the grapevine has it that longtime lovers Julia Barretto and Gerald Anderson are finally taking the plunge in 2026 — and not just anywhere, but in General Santos City, the actor’s hometown.
The story first broke through veteran entertainment columnist Cristy Fermin on her Showbiz Now Na vlog, where she dropped what she called an “exclusive scoop” about the couple’s next chapter.
“They’re getting married in GenSan — that’s the plan,” Fermin revealed, adding that the ceremony is supposedly slated for May or June next year. “If plans don’t change, it’s happening. What’s important is that they’re back together and heading toward the altar,” she said.
But wait — it seems the road to “I do” has hit a slight delay. According to co-host Romel Chika, the much-anticipated proposal was reportedly postponed… for a sparkling reason.
The bato hunt
Apparently, Gerald is still searching for the perfect stone — and not just any diamond will do.
“They’re looking for an ideal stone,” Romel quipped. To which Cristy replied, “Ah, diamond? For the engagement ring?”
Romel confirmed with a laugh, saying the search for a massive gem might be the very reason the proposal hasn’t happened yet.
“They want something big — maybe as huge as Selena Gomez’s or even Kardashian-level. That’s why it’s taking time. Gerald wants Julia to have the ring of her dreams,” Fermin added, giggling.
Love rekindled, wedding pending
After years of whispers, breakups, and reconciliations, the Anderson-Barretto romance has proven resilient. While neither has publicly confirmed the engagement rumors, eagle-eyed fans have noticed the two becoming increasingly comfortable again in public — from cozy photos at Gerald’s resort in Zambales to low-key date nights in the city.
And now, this new “wedding revelation” has reignited both excitement and skepticism online.
Is 2026 truly the year Gerald and Julia walk down the aisle, or is this another round of showbiz speculation dressed in wedding white?
For now, both stars remain silent — and that silence, as always in the world of celebrity gossip, only fuels the intrigue.
Stay tuned. In Philippine showbiz, even the bato has a story.
