Coco Martin and Julia Montes shared details about their relationship
Kapamilya primetime action king Coco Martin revealed that he first pursued his longtime partner, actress Julia Montes, when she was just 13 years old.
Coco and Julia publicly confirmed their relationship in 2023. In an interview, the actor revealed that they had been together for 12 years already.
This meant that they became close and started their relationship during the time when they did the series Walang Hanggan, and at that time, Julia was 16 while Coco was 30.
Even though they just confirmed their relationship a few years ago, rumors about the real score between them lingered longer than that.
In a recent interview, Coco Martin revealed the reason why his and Julia Montes’s endearment is “tatay” and “nanay,” or “father” and “mother.”
He said that he wanted to be traditional, and it was just an “advance.” It is known to many showbiz fans that rumors surfaced that Coco and Julia already have a child.
In an interview clip that netizen @Complete_Designer481 shared on Reddit, under ChikaPH, Coco revealed that he tried to court Julia during her early teen years.
“Ano pa siya noon, bagets. Mga fourteen? (asking Julia),” he said. Then, the actress answered “thirteen.”
“Thirteen, fourteen, (laughs), ako siguro mga twenty-one (21), nagtangka ako sa kaniya. (laughs). Nagtangkang mambola,” Coco shared.
At that time, Julia rejected him. After some time, they worked together in the series Walang Hanggan, and since he had been rejected before, he tried to act “masungit” towards Julia.
Then, Julia said that, back then, when it came to her role, she wanted to prove that she could do it, and she could make the viewers feel her character’s presence.
“Tapos yung mga misconception na ayaw ko sa kaniya. syempre yun napag-usapan din naman, so mas na-prove ko ba?” Julia said and looked at Coco when she asked. Julia Montes added that she thinks she has proven that she has no problem with Coco Martin.
