Gerald Anderson has declared his love for girlfriend Julia Barretto when he asked if he considers the actress as "the one" he will marry someday.
“She’s the one,” the actor said in an interview with TV host Boy Abunda together with his co-stars Yam Concepcion and JM de Guzman in the latter’s YouTube vlog last Friday, August 20.
“Tito Boy, gusto ko sagutin ‘yan talaga and siguro alam niyo po kung ano’ng isasagot ko diyan. Pero dahil siguro she’s still very young and ang dami pa niyang mai-offer sa industriya natin and ang dami pa niyang ipapakita sa inyo, sa audience natin, ‘yung talent niya. So ayaw ko maging hadlang doon," he added.
Currently, Anderson is 32 while Barretto is 24.
When pressed to give a definite answer, Anderson said: “If I had my way, of course. Kaso hindi pa kami quota.”
Gerald hopes for Bea's forgiveness
In the same interview, Abunda brought up the controversy that led Anderson to go public with his relationship with Barretto.
“Do you want to fix the problems?” Abunda asked.
“Sana,” Anderson said. “Kung puwede ko baguhin ‘yung nangyari. Kaso, ang hirap. It’s done. I’ve made mistakes. We both made mistakes.”
Alonzo and Anderson have broken up in 2019 after the latter was accused of cheating with his then co-actor Barretto.
Alonzo also accused Anderson of ending their relationship by simply stopping their communication. Both Anderson and Barretto denied having romantic ties at the time.
“I really pray, I really hope she will find it in her heart to forgive what happened, forgive me. Nagho-hope lang po ako," he continued.
Alonzo recently confirmed she is in a relationship with actor-model Dominic Roque.
