Gerald Randolph Opsima Anderson Jr. was born in Subic Bay, Zambales, Philippines, to his Filipina mother, Evangeline Opsima, and his American father, Gerald Randy Anderson. He has a younger brother named Kenneth and two older sisters, Jen and Darling, from his mother's previous marriage. At the age of three, Gerald and his family relocated to San Antonio, Texas, and later moved to Missouri when he was six. When he was 14, they returned to the Philippines, settling in General Santos City, which Gerald now considers home.
Gerald was discovered by Joross Gamboa, who introduced him to his manager Jun Reyes. Reyes then brought him to ABS-CBN, where Gerald joined Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition. After gaining recognition on the show, he was paired with fellow housemate Kim Chiu, forming a popular "love team" for television shows, movies, and endorsements. The duo quickly rose to fame, with fans dubbing them "Kimerald" even before their time on Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition ended.
He is slated to star in a new TV series called Sineserye Maligno alongside Filipino A-lister Claudine Barretto and his love team partner Kim Chiu. Additionally, he will appear in another show titled Nagai-Aida, featuring Filipino veterans Maricel Soriano, Cesar Montano, and Kim Chiu.
