During a recent TV Patrol interview, Joshua Garcia displayed a playful demeanor as his ex-girlfriend, Julia Barretto, disclosed that her first onscreen kiss was not with him but with her current boyfriend, Gerald Anderson. Despite their previous romantic involvement and collaboration as the popular JoshLia love team, the duo confirmed that their onscreen interactions never ventured into romantic kisses.
Julia Barretto, who shared laughs and light moments with Garcia during the interview, revealed that her first onscreen kiss occurred with Gerald Anderson in the film “Between Maybes,” which debuted in 2019. Garcia humorously feigned shock and heartache over this revelation, clutching his chest and eliciting laughter from Barretto who playfully called him “out of his mind.”
On his part, Garcia mentioned his first onscreen kiss happened with Janella Salvador in the thriller series “The Killer Bride,” also released in 2019. Despite their past as a couple, both actors spoke fondly of the strong friendship they have maintained, emphasizing the importance of not letting such a meaningful connection fade into estrangement.
Joshua Garcia expressed a deep appreciation for their shared experiences, underscoring how much they had seen and shared with each other. He passionately remarked on the value of their friendship, stating, “We had nothing to hide, then we’ll become strangers? That would be such a waste. That’s what I hold onto, our friendship.”
The actors, beloved by fans as the JoshLia pair, dated for two years and will soon be seen together in the upcoming film “Un/happy For You” directed by Petersen Vargas. While details about the film’s plot and release date remain undisclosed, the reunion of Garcia and Barretto is highly anticipated by their fans.
