MANILA, Philippines – Actress Julia Barretto seems to have finally weathered storms in her romantic life as she admitted in Mega magazine’s November 2020 issue that she is “in love”.
The 23-year-old actress made the curt revelation: “Yeah,” candidly, when asked if she was in love.
Despite the admission, Julia declined to identify who it was that was making her heart happy.
She recalled the “trauma” of having a public relationship which became the receiving end of people’s careless remarks.
“I think nobody understands the kind of trauma of having a relationship so public, and then also a lot of people see when your relationship fails,” Barretto said in the same interview.
“Like it’s so traumatizing for me because I genuinely cared about this guy, I genuinely loved this guy, and then I shared so much that when we broke up they thought they knew the whole story. They thought they knew my pains, they thought they knew my joys, they thought they knew everything – all the reasons that caused the breakup. But nobody really does,” she went on.
Barretto’s last public relationship was with actor Joshua Garcia. It was in June 2019 when the two, dubbed “JoshLia,” called it quits.
Following their breakup, she was linked to actor Gerald Anderson who had just gotten out of a relationship with Bea Alonzo. Both Barretto and Anderson, however, denied being romantically involved.
Now, Barretto said, she has learned to be “in control” of her relationships – and that is to determine what and what not to share to the public.
“I am in total control of how much I am only willing to share and how much I am only allowing people to know. I’ve already come to realize how important it is to protect your peace and privacy – and that both go well together,” the actress said.
Barretto first hinted about a new romance when she posted about her birthday dinner with her “family and a loved one.”
