In a recent interview during the Avignon Clinic Ball, actress Julia Montes firmly denied being in a relationship with Coco Martin, countering widespread speculations that had been circulating for months.

This comes after Coco Martin publicly acknowledged their close bond in a “TV Patrol” interview on May 23, 2023, stating that they have been together for 12 years.

The rumors about the two have been met with both intrigue and scrutiny. While many were supportive of the possible relationship, some netizens raised concerns about the age difference between the two, as they reportedly started being seen together when Julia was 16 years old.

In a conversation with PUSH Bets Live! regarding their rumored relationship, Julia Montes refuted any confirmation of being romantically involved with Coco Martin.

“Since pinublicize n’yo na po ‘yung relationship n’yo with Coco Martin,” the interviewer began.

“Kailan?!” Julia interjected, showing surprise.

The interviewer continued, “‘Di ba? A lot of people, you know, are celebrating your relationship with you. So, kumusta ba siya bilang partner?”

“Nag-announce ba kami? Wala naman,” Julia replied, firmly setting the record straight.

Throughout the course of their supposed connection, Coco Martin had been notably private about his personal life. He shared in the interview, “Napakasarap ng pakiramdam namin dahil ito ilang years na, 12 years na kaming magkasama, pero pareho pa rin, gaya ng dati. Nilo-look forward namin kapag may project na magkasama kami and then kapag may pagkakataon ito, nakakalabas kami, nakikita kami ng mga tao pero name-maintain namin ‘yung privacy sa buhay namin.”

However, this clarification from Julia Montes highlights the absence of any formal acknowledgment of their relationship, despite the circulating assumptions of their romantic involvement. Julia Montes’ recent denial also underscores the complexities of celebrity relationships in the public eye and how the media and public opinion can shape the narrative around these matters.

Coco Martin and Julia Montes have maintained their privacy in personal matters, and it remains to be seen whether they will address these rumors and assumptions further in the future.
