There’s nothing like having a sister, am I right? That’s the thing about having a sibling—the bond is unmatched and pretty much unbreakable. It’s kind of like having a built-in BFF whom you can share things with, as well as get real with in case things go south. I mean, our sisters teach us so much—and that definitely includes valuable life lessons.
Claudia Barretto shows support for sister Julia Barretto
Case in point: Claudia Barretto has her sister Julia Barretto to look up to. In an Instagram post, she penned the sweetest message for the actress. “You inspire me. So lucky you’re my sister @juliabarretto.”

The photo showed Julia in a sit-down interview with Toni Gonzaga, where she talked about how she was able to navigate a controversy. In 2019, she made headlines for being the alleged third party in Gerald Anderson’s breakup with his then-girlfriend, Bea Alonzo. Despite repeatedly denying the claims, most people still sided with Bea, who stated that she was a victim of “ghosting.”
Just recently, Julia and Bea rubbed elbows at an event for Johnny Manahan, and were spotted visibly greeting each other. In the interview with Toni, the actress spoke more about what happened. “You have to take accountability for, anong naging role mo sa chaos na 'yun." Asked what her role was in that chaos, Julia readily admitted that she's sure she caused "somebody else's pain, in the same way that they also contributed to my pain."
"But I think, you know na okay ka na when you already acknowledge na baka I have a role in this, baka may shortcomings din naman talaga ka, baka I really did something that hurt somebody," she added.
She cleared that she wasn’t a third party, despite revealing her relationship with Gerald years after. "Hindi kami noon. I can't say that he was a partner to me. We navigated this in our own ways," she explained.
Julia said that she values the *reconciliation* moment with Bea. "It's a really real moment, 'di ba, kasi syempre it was messy, kapag na-iron out 'yun kahit konti, it helps," she said.
"Maybe to fully close it para lang alam mong the people in the past you were able to close that with them, hoping that it also gives them peace," Julia concluded.
