Willie Revillame Slips Up? TV Host Accidentally Mentions That Coco Martin and Julia Montes Might Have Children Together—Did He Just Confirm the Long-Standing Rumor?
The internet is abuzz once again—and this time, it’s because of a surprise revelation that came from an unlikely source. Beloved TV host and businessman Willie Revillame may have unintentionally confirmed one of Philippine showbiz’s biggest speculations: that Coco Martin and Julia Montes secretly have children together.
During a recent casual segment in one of his online guestings, Willie was speaking about young celebrities who are growing in their careers and transitioning into family life. What caught the attention of sharp-eared netizens was one particular line—spoken so quickly it almost slipped under the radar:
“Eh ‘yung mga anak nina Coco at Julia, sigurado magaganda’t pogi rin ‘yon.”
(“Coco and Julia’s kids will surely be beautiful and handsome too.”)
The comment, said in passing, caused a wildfire of reactions online. Was it just a slip of the tongue, or did Willie accidentally confirm one of the most speculated secrets in local showbiz history?
The Long-Standing CocoJul Mystery
Coco Martin and Julia Montes—dubbed “CocoJul” by their fans—have been rumored to be in a secret relationship for over a decade. While they’ve worked together on numerous hit teleseryes and films, the pair have never publicly confirmed nor denied their romance.
Adding fuel to the fire, both have kept much of their personal lives tightly guarded. Julia took a long break from showbiz between 2019 and 2021, during which fans speculated that she may have given birth in secret. At the time, neither Julia nor Coco addressed the rumors directly, only stating that they valued their privacy.
But with Willie Revillame’s unintentional comment, netizens are now revisiting old clues, piecing together timelines, and demanding clarity.
Social Media Reactions: Shock, Excitement, and Curiosity
It didn’t take long before #CocoJul trended on X (formerly Twitter), with fans posting mixed reactions—from giddy excitement to utter disbelief.
“Did Willie just spill the biggest showbiz tea of the decade? COCO AND JULIA HAVE KIDS?! 😱”

“Kung totoo man ‘to, I’m so happy for them. They deserve love and peace away from the spotlight.”

Some netizens even started digging through old interviews, videos, and social media posts of Coco and Julia, hoping to find more hints. One viral post showed Julia holding a baby during a private party in 2020, while Coco stood nearby.
“We thought it was just a family friend… now we’re not so sure anymore.”
Industry Insiders Weigh In
According to several showbiz insiders, the relationship between Coco Martin and Julia Montes has been an “open secret” for years. Many co-stars and production staff allegedly know about their bond but have respected the couple’s desire to keep things private.
One anonymous insider revealed:
“They’ve been together for a long time. Julia’s disappearance for a while wasn’t random. They just wanted to keep things out of the spotlight.”
Another added that both stars are “very protective of their personal life” because of Coco’s image as a primetime hero and Julia’s preference for a low-key lifestyle.
Why The Secrecy?
In the fast-paced, judgment-heavy world of Philippine showbiz, keeping a romantic relationship private—let alone a family—can be extremely difficult. For Coco and Julia, it appears that privacy was the only way to preserve peace.
Coco Martin, known for his roles in hit teleseryes like Ang Probinsyano and Batang Quiapo, has long maintained a clean, professional image. Julia, who rose to fame with Mara Clara and Walang Hanggan, has also shied away from the limelight when it comes to her personal life.
“We owe it to ourselves to protect what’s real,” Julia once said cryptically in an interview.
“Not everything has to be shared.”
Still, fans are divided. Some support their decision, while others feel they deserve honesty after years of speculation.
Willie Revillame: Known for Honesty and Unfiltered Remarks
Willie Revillame is no stranger to saying what’s on his mind. Known for his genuine, unfiltered hosting style, he’s become one of the most beloved and trusted personalities in Philippine television. That’s why, when he made the remark about Coco and Julia’s “kids,” many believed it wasn’t just a joke.
“Willie wouldn’t say that unless he knew something. He’s friends with a lot of celebs—maybe he let it slip unintentionally,” commented one YouTube viewer.
However, as of this writing, Willie has not issued any clarification or apology regarding his statement.
Coco and Julia: Still Silent
Neither Coco Martin nor Julia Montes has commented on the viral statement. Their silence is typical—both are known to stay away from gossip and drama. But that hasn’t stopped the media from reaching out to their handlers for confirmation.
ABS-CBN and Star Magic have also declined to comment, further fueling the mystery.
What If It’s True?
If Willie’s statement turns out to be true, it wouldn’t just confirm the CocoJul love story—it would mean that two of the country’s biggest stars have managed to maintain a private life, away from the chaos of public opinion.
In an industry where everything is scrutinized, such a feat would be both impressive and inspiring. It also highlights a growing trend among celebrities—valuing peace over popularity.
Public Support Grows
Interestingly, the majority of netizens have responded to the news with love and support.
“We’re not mad. We’re actually proud that they chose to live their lives quietly and with dignity,” said one longtime CocoJul fan.
Fan groups have even begun creating edits, posters, and tribute videos celebrating the rumored family, using the taglines:
“True love wins” and “Privacy is power.”
Conclusion: A Slip That Shook Showbiz
Whether it was a careless slip or a subtle confirmation, Willie Revillame’s comment has reopened a mystery that fans have been trying to solve for years. The supposed revelation that Coco Martin and Julia Montes have children together is now at the center of public discourse, and unless the couple officially confirms or denies it, the speculation is likely to continue.
In the end, whether they’re parents or simply partners, what matters most is that Coco and Julia are happy, safe, and living life on their own terms. And perhaps, that’s the real story worth celebrating.
