Education and career

Gonzales was a nursing graduate from Calamba Doctors' College in Parian who has temporarily set aside taking the board exams to pursue a showbiz dream. Born and raised in Barangay Halang[http://www.showbiztop.blogspot.com/2012/10/introducing-jeric-gonzales-coco-martin.html Introducing Jeric Gonzales, The Coco Martin Lookalike Among The Proteges] and was mentored by the Southern Luzon mentor Gina Alajar. Gonzales was originally a protégé of Alajar but due to a twist of the show, Alajar had to let go one of her protégés and mentor Jolina Magdangal chose Gonzales as her new protégé.

At the end of the competition, Gonzales was announced as the "Ultimate Male Protégé." Gonzales' female counterpart in winning the competition is Thea Tolentino who is also from Calamba.

Gonzales became part of the now defunct Sunday noontime variety show Party Pilipinas with the other top six finalists. Also after winning Protégé, Jeric was signed, with Thea Tolentino, to be part of Teen Gen, a sequel of the teen oriented show of the 1990s, T.G.I.S..

In 2013, Gonzales appeared as a guest in sitcom Pepito Manaloto. Gonzales was also part of the prime time telenovela, Love and Lies.{{Cite web|title=Teen stars, thrilled for their roles in 'Love and Lies'|url=https://www.gmanetwork.com/entertainment/tv/love_and_lies/8548/teen-stars-thrilled-for-their-roles-in-love-and-lies/story|access-date=2021-11-11|website=www.gmanetwork.com|language=en}}

In 2014, Gonzales became part of the cast of Hustisya and in Nora Aunor's Dementia. The same year, Gonzales became a member of the musical trio 3LOGY with Abel Estanislao and Jak Roberto.[http://www.lionheartv.net/2015/01/sunday-stars-launches-jeric-gonzales-abel-estanislao-jak-roberto-boyband-3logy/ "Sunday All Stars" launches Jeric Gonzales, Abel Estanislao and Jak Roberto as boyband ‘3logy’][http://entertainment.tempo.com.ph/2015/02/04/jeric-doesnt-mind-being-part-of-3logy/ Jeric doesn’t mind being part of 3Logy] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150211100210/http://entertainment.tempo.com.ph/2015/02/04/jeric-doesnt-mind-being-part-of-3logy/ |date=February 11, 2015 }} Their first song is the revival of Jolina Magdangal's hit Maybe It's You.

In 2022, Gonzales, along with Alden Richards, Bea Alonzo, and Yasmien Kurdi joined the cast of the Philippine adaptation of Korean drama Start-Up, where he played the role of Davidson "Dave" Navarro.
