Gerald Anderson opened up about the recent health scare involving his girlfriend, actress Julia Barretto. Fans have been worried since Barretto shared that she had to be hospitalized last month. During the 2024 Star Magic All-Star Games at the Araneta Coliseum, Anderson shed light on the situation, providing much-needed reassurance to their supporters.
Gerald Anderson revealed that Barretto’s demanding work schedule likely contributed to her illness. “We suspect she got sick because she was shooting a movie, then a series, and now she’s about to shoot another movie. It’s been a bit non-stop for her, so she got sick,” Anderson explained. He continued, “She had to be confined for several days, which was quite serious.”
The constant hustle of back-to-back projects has taken a toll on Barretto. Anderson elaborated, “She was shooting a movie, then a series. Now she will shoot another movie, so it has been quite intense.” This insight into Barretto’s hectic schedule shows the pressures actors face in the entertainment industry, where balancing work and health can be challenging.
Barretto, discharged from the hospital on May 13, took to Instagram to express her gratitude. She thanked her doctors, nurses, and medical staff for their care and support during her illness. Barretto also emphasized the importance of prioritizing health, a reminder that resonated with many of her followers. “It’s a tough time, but I’m taking this one as a reminder that our health should always be top priority,” she wrote.
The couple’s fans have been flooding social media with well-wishes and prayers for Barretto’s speedy recovery. Looking ahead, Barretto will star in the movie Un/happy For You alongside Joshua Garcia. Meanwhile, Gerald Anderson is set to collaborate with renowned director Erik Matti on an action film.
