MANILA -- Bea Alonzo shared a sweet birthday message for her boyfriend, Gerald Anderson, who turned 30 on Thursday.

On Instagram, Alonzo posted a throwback photo of her with Anderson, recalling the first time she fell in love with the actor.

"This photo was taken back in 2010, back when I fell in love with you for the first time. Amazing how time just flies," she said.

She went on: "Can't help but get a little sentimental especially because you're spending your 30th birthday in another continent in a different picture."

"Happy birthday, babe. You are my great love story."

After having a short-lived relationship in 2010, Alonzo and Anderson rekindled their relationship in 2016 when they co-starred in the movie "How to Be Yours."

In 2018, rumors surfaced that the two have called it quits. Last October, Alonzo confirmed that she has given Anderson a second chance.
