Real-life couple Julia Montes and Coco Martin attended the ABS-CBN Ball together for the first time. As if seeing them together on the red carpet of the annual event wasn’t enough reason for everyone to feel kilig, the two held each other’s hands as they arrived at the event. 

Julia and Coco kept their hands clasped together while posing for photos on the red carpet.

Coco looked dashing in a black tuxedo while Julia donned a sophisticated black gown for the night.

It was in May when Coco and Julia confirmed that they had kept their relationship lowkey for 12 years.

In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Julia said that she couldn’t be happier to reunite with her fellow Kapamilyas after so many years of missing out on the event mainly due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"We are good and very happy kasi ito nagsama-sama tayo ngayon and after a long time 'di ba. Parang bibihira na nangyayari ito at parang tama talaga 'yung tagline natin for tonight, 'forever grateful,'" Julia said.

Julia said that the name of the event, “Forever Grateful,” is fitting for the event.

For this year's ABS-CBN Ball, the Kapamilya network honors everyone who has been there for the company over the last few years when it faced various challenges, including the non-renewal of its broadcast franchise.

"Yung mga friends at colleagues natin na hindi natin nakikita everytime ngayon mag-ga-gather together and lahat tayo grateful to be together this evening," she added.

Coco, on the other hand, said he feels thankful to still have a job despite the circumstances he faced over the last few years.

“Siyempre na hanggang ngayon ay nandito tayo nagsasama-sama para patunayan 'yung pagmamahalan, pagkakaisa na hanggang ngayon ay lumalaban pa rin. Nagpapasalamat ako dahil hanggang ngayon ay may trabaho tayo,” he said.

“Marami pa ring trabaho 'yung mga kasama natin sa industriya. Ito 'yung panahon para makapagpasalamat tayo, sa lahat ng mga tumulong sa atin — sa network, sa mga endorsement, sa lahat ng mga tao especially sa ABS-CBN and co-actors natin," he added.
