Maja Salvador and Gerald Anderson proved that all is well between them since their 2015 split, after they were spotted by netizens exchanging pleasantries in a chance meeting at the sidelines of the Fiba World Cup.
In one of the videos making the rounds of social media, Anderson could be seen walking towards the newlyweds, before giving Salvador’s husband Rambo Nuñez a friendly hug then kissing the actress on the cheek, as captured by one @majinglez on Tiktok last Aug. 29.
The video also showed celebrity couple Sam Milby and Catriona Gray in the background with comical looks on their faces.
“[sobbing emojis] (ps. Rambo and Gerald are very good friends na before pa because of basketball) this is for fun only,” the caption read.

The ex-couple’s fans were glad to see both actors on good terms, as seen in the comments of the post. However, some couldn’t help but poke fun at Gray and Milby’s reactions in the background.

Salvador and Anderson were in a relationship in 2013 and broke up two years later. Their romantic involvement was said to have drawn a wedge between the actress and her “Ina, Kapatid, Anak” co-star Kim Chiu — who was Anderson’s ex-girlfriend and then onscreen partner.
Despite this, Chiu clarified in 2013 that the “Wildflower” star asked for her permission to date Anderson. She also noted that she didn’t get into a fight with the actress.
Anderson is now in a relationship with actress Julia Barretto, while Salvador tied the knot with Nuñez in July 2023. EDV
