However, Julia is actually not the eldest child of Marjorie. During the celebrity's relationship with ex-partner actor Kier Legaspi, the actress gave birth to her first daughter, Dani Barretto, who is now currently 26 years old. Dani lives with Marjorie and her half-siblings as she and her birth father have an estranged relationship.

In recent events, she comes clean with the identity of her youngest daughter's real father in October 2019. The shock came over the people as she reveals it to be former Caloocan Mayor Recom Echiverri. The two most likely crossed paths because of the Marjorie Barretto counselor position which was in Caloocan. Naturally, this quickly drew public criticism as the said father is already a married man.

Marjorie Barretto vs Gretchen Barretto
Their recent controversial issue revolves around the death of their father. First, the beef among the sisters took an unfair two-against-one turn as Claudine takes Gretchen's side while Marjorie is left to fend off both of their quips at her.
As Gretchen is the estranged sister in the family, Marjorie was deeply affected when she saw her attending their father's funeral. Because of the unexpected situation, a fight broke out between the two and even in front of the Philippine President, Rodrigo Duterte as he tried to mediate the bad blood between the two sisters.
Instead of good intentions and reconciliation during their father's wake, things quickly turned into a catfight as Marjorie refused to shake hands with her sister and a certain niece allegedly attacked Gretchen to defend her other aunt.

This is where the whole Gretchen versus Marjorie fiasco blew out of proportion. They both aired very different sides of the same incident and it is day after day of another issue among the sisters. Whether it is one family member getting injured because of the ongoing feud or perhaps opening up past wounds (Marjorie's leaked private photos, for example), it is never a quiet day in the life of the Barrettos.
Now, their mother Inday is also against Marjorie as Claudine shows her a video of the actress allegedly saying she is tired of Inday's drama and even threatening to hurt her.

She may not have the best relationship with her family and sisters, the personality still does her best to support her children in every way she can.
