Masayang sinabi ni Julia Barretto sa panayam ng ABS-CBN News na unang beses na makakasama sa kanilang noche buena ang kaniyang boyfriend na si Gerald Anderson.
“We are all going to be together. Of course, si Ge (Gerald Anderson) will be with us," sabi ni Drama Princess Julia Barretto.
“Mommy (Marjorie Barretto) will prepare all the dishes on Christmas Eve. On my end, presence ko na lang. I’ll finish the food I will enjoy and I will rest," natatawang sabi pa ni Julia.
“It has been a good 2021. I am very blessed this year.”

“They always say this, but I think it really works for me and there’s really magic in counting your blessings,” Barretto asserted. “Focus on the good things that are happening in your life, especially now.
“Every time na napapagod na 'ko or na-stress na ko or ‘yung energy na binibigay sa akin medyo negative or really bad, I really make the time to shut off, shut down and have a moment for myself.
“I count the things that I should be thankful for. I'm really very blessed, especially this year. So hindi ko pinapayagan na mangibabaw ang stress at negativity, dahil hindi talaga nakakaganda.”
Masaya naman daw si Julia sa mga nangyayari sa kaniyang personal na buhay at showbiz career ngayon. Bukod sa kaniyang teleseryeng 'Di Na Muli' sa TV5, may bagong endorsement pa siya, at dalawang upcoming movies.
"I am happy with the people that surround me. There’s just a lot of peace and calm within me. That’s something that I’ve been praying for for two years now. This year was all about that and I couldn’t be more grateful," aniya.
Ngayong naninirahan na siya sa sariling condo, aminado si Julia na nasa adulting stage na siya.
"Nakikita ko na ang bills ko. Ako na ang nagbabayad lahat. Hindi na si mommy.”
“Of course, we are all getting old. We work hard, get into a very comfortable state. Sana, by the time I have a family, I just want my kids in the future to be comfortable. So I really strive and work hard.”
“I realized I can handle a lot of adult stuff. Kaya ko na pala. To have a sense of being independent, you gain confidence in yourself.”
Isang luxury watch daw ang regalo niya sa kaniyang sarili.
“Now, since it’s Christmas, I gifted myself with something I really love.”
“That’s my first gift to myself after two years. Hindi na ako tulad ng dati na every week, may bagong shoes or bag. Napupunta na electricity, association dues or bills ang pera ko."
