Julia Clarete Finally Reveals Her Son — And Netizens Say He Looks Just Like Vic Sotto!

In a surprising turn of events that has the internet buzzing, former Eat Bulaga! host and actress Julia Clarete has officially introduced her son to the public — and fans cannot stop talking about one thing: his uncanny resemblance to none other than Vic Sotto!

After years of keeping her child out of the spotlight, Julia took to social media yesterday to post a set of rare, heartwarming photos of her son, who is now in his early teens. The caption read simply: “My world, my boy.” But what really grabbed everyone’s attention was the boy’s strikingly handsome features, with many commenting that he looked like a “younger version of Bossing.”

The comments section exploded within minutes.

“Wait, is that Vic Sotto’s son? He’s got the same eyes and that signature smirk!” one fan wrote.

“I thought this was a throwback of Bossing — he’s THAT similar!” another said.

Julia, who left showbiz and moved abroad several years ago after marrying her non-showbiz partner, has largely stayed quiet on personal matters. Her decision to reveal her son now — with a sudden photo drop — shocked many, considering how private she has been about her family life.

The photos show her son in casual settings — playing with their dog, relaxing on a beach, and enjoying ice cream with Julia. The young boy, tall and confident, has sharp facial features, deep-set eyes, and that unmistakable Sotto charisma, fueling intense online speculation about his paternity.

So… is Vic Sotto really the father?

To clarify, Julia Clarete has never publicly confirmed or denied any romantic involvement with Vic Sotto, despite long-standing rumors during their Eat Bulaga! days. The two shared undeniable chemistry on-screen and were often teased by co-hosts, but neither party addressed the speculations.

Still, that hasn’t stopped netizens from drawing conclusions. Side-by-side photos of Julia’s son and young Vic have been circulating widely, with fan pages running polls and theories. One viral meme even jokingly read, “Bossing 2.0 has arrived!”

As the debate heats up, Julia remains silent, choosing not to respond to media inquiries or clarify the boy’s lineage. Instead, she posted an Instagram story thanking followers for their kind words and love for her son.

“He’s my pride and joy. Thank you for the warm welcome,” she wrote.

Meanwhile, Vic Sotto has not released any comment regarding the circulating rumors. As one of Philippine showbiz’s most enduring figures, Vic is no stranger to rumors and public speculation. He has several children from different relationships, most notably with Dina Bonnevie, Angela Luz, and Pauleen Luna.

Some fans are defending Julia’s privacy, insisting that people should focus on her son’s achievements and not gossip.

“Let’s respect Julia and her family. That’s her child, not public property,” one supporter posted.

Whether or not the resemblance to Vic Sotto is purely coincidental or something more, one thing is certain: Julia Clarete’s son is stealing the spotlight, and people can’t seem to look away.

As the buzz continues, many are now wondering — will Julia finally speak up? Or will the mystery remain part of one of showbiz’s most unexpected twists?

Stay tuned. This story is far from over.
