In the same interview with Karen Davila, Julia said that the strength of her relationship with Coco Martin stems from their shared values, especially their mutual dedication to family and their grandmothers. The actress described Martin as her “knight in shining armor” and “compass” during a personally challenging period, stating he provided essential support when she felt lost and prayed for someone to care for her. She shared that Coco’s unexpected arrival and consistent support were an answer to her prayers, even though she didn't initially realize she was praying for a partner. The interview offers a rare look into the famously private relationship of Julia and Coco, whose 12-year partnership was publicly confirmed by Martin in May 2023.

Coco got hurt by Julia’s initial reactions as she often tried to bluff him. Their relationship developed later when they worked together again on another project. The actress described Coco as sweet and thoughtful, even surprising her with a pet dog after she complimented other dogs they saw.
