Speculation is swirling around actress Julia Montes after reports claimed she is no longer part of the upcoming series ‘Sigabo’, which is set to star her real-life partner Coco Martin.
The issue was discussed on the radio program ‘Cristy Ferminute’, where host Cristy Fermin shared that many have been questioning Julia’s absence from recent promotional materials.
“Ang daming nagtatanong bakit wala na sa teaser si Julia Montes sa Sigabo ni Coco Martin? May mga lumabas na materyales na magkasama sila, magkaeksena bakit biglang wala na?” she said.
According to Fermin, rumors circulating in and outside showbiz suggest that Julia may have been replaced due to pregnancy.
“At heto na nga po, matinding pinag-uusapan ngayon sa loob at labas ng showbiz na ang dahilan nga po kung bakit papalitan na si Julia Montes sa Sigabo, ang bagong serye ni Coco Martin ay dahil sa kanyang pagdadalang-tao,” she added.
Her co-host Romel Chika responded, “Wow, blessing! Nakakatuwa naman.”
Fermin also referenced long-standing rumors about the couple’s private life.
“Nahahalata na rin naman wala na rin kasing maaaring itago pa at open secret naman ‘yung dati pa, sabi nga ni Willie Revillame, ‘O, Julia, Coco salamat sa inyo kumusta sa mga anak n’yo.’”
She added that if the rumors were true, there would be nothing wrong with it.
“At kung totoo man po ay wala naman pong masama dahil magkarelasyon naman sila at malay nga natin baka nga kasal na.”
For balance, Julia’s management team Cornerstone Entertainment denied the pregnancy rumors according to reports. Despite the denial, no official clarification has been given regarding Julia’s reported absence from ‘Sigabo’.
There are also unconfirmed reports that Angel Locsin could replace Julia in the series, though this has yet to be verified.
Fans had been eagerly anticipating the reunion of the Coco-Julia tandem, making the latest developments a topic of strong public interest.
As of writing, neither Coco Martin nor Julia Montes has released an official statement addressing the issue.
