Manila, Philippines — After years of speculation, rumors, and unanswered questions, actress Julia Montes has finally broken her silence and confirmed what many fans have long suspected — Zia Grace is her daughter with Coco Martin, and their quiet, off-camera love story has been unfolding behind closed doors all along.

👶The Secret They Protected, the Truth They’ve Now Embraced

Julia Montes and Coco Martin have been linked romantically since 2012, but both remained silent about their personal lives — never confirming, never denying. Now, the actress admits that their silence wasn’t about shame, but protection.

“We chose to stay quiet not because we were hiding her, but because we wanted her to grow up in peace,” Julia said through tears.
“She is not a secret — she is our joy.”
