After years of keeping their romance under wraps, Kapamilya actor Coco Martin and actress Julia Montes have decided to embrace the public spotlight, marking a new chapter in their long-term relationship.
In a recent interview, Coco candidly spoke about their decision to be more open about their relationship and shared the reasons behind their newfound transparency.
Coco reflected on the challenges of keeping their relationship private over the years, admitting that it wasn’t fair to Julia.
“Ayoko namang ipagkait kay Jules na ‘di man lang kami makalabas o makakain sa labas. Dati kasi, lahat ‘yan nakatago. Ayoko naman na habambuhay na lang itatago siya,” he explained. Coco added that while Julia never demanded anything, he felt it was time to show her the public support she deserved.
The decision to go public has thrilled their fans, who have long speculated about their relationship. Social media erupted with messages of support, praising the couple for embracing their love openly after over a decade of speculation.
Coco’s admission marks a turning point for the pair, who have been notoriously private since they were first linked in 2012 during the airing of their hit primetime series, ‘Walang Hanggan’.
Fans are now wondering if Julia will join ‘FPJ’s Batang Quiapo’, Coco’s successful primetime action-drama series. The show has entered its new season with expanded storylines and new characters following the exit of Irma Adlawan’s role.
While no confirmation has been made, Julia’s inclusion in the cast would undoubtedly excite viewers.
Coco and Julia’s journey began on the set of ‘Walang Hanggan’, where their onscreen chemistry sparked rumors of a real-life romance. Despite their 13-year age gap, the two quickly became a beloved love team, with their bond growing stronger over the years.
By 2013, Coco escorted Julia to her debut, solidifying their connection both onscreen and off. Their relationship remained under the radar until 2019, when rumors emerged about Julia giving birth to Coco’s child. The couple has never confirmed the reports but has hinted at their growing family through subtle social media posts and vacation sightings.
Fans of the couple were ecstatic when Julia made her TV comeback in ‘FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano’, playing Coco’s “huling pag-ibig.” Their onscreen reunion reignited excitement about their real-life relationship, which Coco has described as built on mutual respect, love, and shared values.
