Members of the Barretto clan may not all be in good terms but teen star Julia Barretto seems to be finding a way to reach out to estranged members as of late.
On Thursday, Julia was seen commenting on a photo of her aunt Claudine Barretto that's posted on Instagram. The photo showing Claudine with G3 San Diego was uploaded by the latter on her account.
Julia was the first to comment on the photo, saying, "She looks so beautiful!!!"
Julia's mom, Marjorie Barretto, and older aunt Gretchen Barretto are not in good terms with Claudine. Their word wars on social media are no secret and are much publicized.
It's nice to know that the "Mirabella" star would still comment on Claudine's photo despite the situation.
Julia will be celebrating her 18th birthday in March. It will be a grand event backed by ABS-CBN.
A day before she commented on Claudine's photo, Julia herself posted on Instagram a picture of her with dad Dennis Padilla.

The two recently hit showbiz headlines due to a snubbing incident that happened at a Christmas party late last year.
According to Dennis, Julia snubbed him at the said event. But Marjorie defended her daughter by saying the young actress was just afraid of her dad.

The father and daughter's issues stemmed from Julia's petition to legally drop Baldivia (her dad's real surname). Dennis and Marjorie's marriage was proven null and void in 2009 because the former was married to another woman when he tied the knot with Marjorie in 1997.
After the snubbing issue, many thought Dennis wouldn't be part of Julia's debut party anymore. Julia's Instagram post on Wednesday, however, is an indication that they are already okay. It could also mean that Dennis might be able to celebrate with her daughter on her 18th birthday.
