GERALD ANDERSON FINALLY ADMITS TO HAVING A CHILD WITH ARCI MUÑOZ?! JULIA BARRETTO’S REACTION STUNS FANS!

In a stunning twist that has left fans reeling and the entertainment world in shock, Gerald Anderson has reportedly dropped a bombshell: he may have fathered a child with actress Arci Muñoz. And what’s even more explosive? His current partner, Julia Barretto, is allegedly having a hard time accepting the truth.

What was once a quiet storm of rumors and hushed speculation has now erupted into full-blown controversy, with insiders revealing new details by the hour — and social media in absolute meltdown.

The Unexpected Revelation

The revelation came during a behind-the-scenes interview on the set of Gerald’s latest project. Though he didn’t initially intend to speak on personal matters, when asked about fatherhood and future plans, the actor hesitated — then dropped the truth no one saw coming.

“Life can surprise you,” Gerald said carefully. “Sometimes what you thought was just a chapter ends up becoming a responsibility… even a blessing. Yes, I’ve been told I have a child with Arci.”

Though he stopped short of confirming paternity with certainty, his choice of words was more than enough to light a fire across the internet.

Arci Muñoz: Silent but All Eyes Are on Her

So far, Arci Muñoz has not responded to Gerald’s statement, but sources close to the actress claim she’s been raising a child quietly away from the public eye, choosing privacy and peace over publicity.

Rumors of a past relationship between Arci and Gerald were never publicly confirmed, though fans have long speculated that their “friendship” may have crossed deeper lines during a time when both were single and working closely.

Now, Gerald’s semi-confirmation is giving those old theories a whole new life.

Julia Barretto: “She’s Devastated,” Sources Say

But the person most affected by the news? Julia Barretto, Gerald’s current girlfriend and longtime rumored fiancée.

According to insiders, Julia was completely blindsided by the revelation. The actress, who has been involved in her own share of controversies in the past, reportedly had no idea about Gerald’s possible connection to Arci’s child — and she’s not taking the news well.

“Julia feels betrayed,” a source close to the actress revealed. “Not just because of the child, but because she had to hear it from the public, not from him directly.”

Insiders claim Julia left a production meeting early after hearing the news, refusing to speak with anyone and looking visibly shaken.

Social Media Explodes

As expected, the internet is ablaze with opinions, support, and drama. The hashtag #GeraldArciBaby began trending within minutes of the interview’s release, alongside #ProtectJulia and #JusticeForArci.

Reactions ranged from shock to support, with some fans praising Gerald for “owning up” while others accused him of being disrespectful to Julia and Arci.

“So Gerald really DID get Arci pregnant? And Julia had no idea? This is wild.”

“Poor Julia. She keeps getting dragged into messes she didn’t start.”

“Honestly, good for Arci if she kept the baby and moved on. That’s strength.”

What Happens Next?

The future of Gerald and Julia’s relationship now hangs in the balance. Friends say Julia is demanding answers, and fast. There is also speculation that her family — especially mom Marjorie and sister Dani — are urging her to take time away from the relationship to “reassess everything.”

Meanwhile, Gerald has yet to issue a follow-up statement, though fans are pressuring him to either confirm paternity or clarify the situation completely.

As for Arci, all eyes are on her Instagram, where fans are flooding the comments with messages of support — and questions.

A Scandal Far From Over

What started as a simple interview has spiraled into one of the biggest love triangle controversies in recent Philippine showbiz memory. With Gerald Anderson at the center, Arci Muñoz as the silent storm, and Julia Barretto left reeling, the drama is just beginning to unfold.

Will Gerald take responsibility? Will Julia walk away? And will Arci finally speak out?
