Julie Anne San Jose Opens Up About First Love, Sparks Alden Richards Speculation

Philippine singer‑actress Julie Anne San Jose discussed a past first love during her guest appearance on the online show TRGGRD! on July 24, 2026. She said the relationship left her deeply affected and suggested that both career ambitions and intense fan reactions contributed to its end, noting, “Maybe kasi, mga bata pa kami nun, and then we both had the peak of our careers.”

She did not name the person, but netizens linked the remarks to fellow Kapuso star Alden Richards, with whom she worked on the former variety program Party Pilipinas. Richards had earlier admitted that his focus on his career halted their romance and later apologized in person. Both have since moved on—San Jose is now dating actor Rayver Cruz, while Richards remains single.
