<p>Hari ng Aksyon sa Ating Henerasyon Coco Martin and Prime Actress Julia Montes opened up about the true status of their longterm relationship, finally addressing speculation on whether marriage is already part of their journey together. </p><p>During part one of their interview with Ogie Diaz, the lead stars of <em>Sigabo </em>shared more personal insights into their relationship, their values as partners, and how they navigate life together as both artists and a couple.  </p><p>Throughout the conversation, the two frequently referred to each other as “nanay” and “tatay,” terms of endearment often associated with married Filipino couples inside the household.</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2026/6/30/coco-martin-julia-montes-kathryn-bernardo-james-reid-lead-primetime-bida-motorcade-in-pampanga-1228" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: Coco Martin, Julia Montes, Kathryn Bernardo, James Reid lead Primetime Bida motorcade in Pampanga</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>With public curiosity surrounding their relationship continuing over the years, especially now that they have already been together for almost 15 years, Ogie directly asked the couple if they are already married or if wedding plans are in the picture. Both immediately laughed before answering.  </p><p>“Ako ang sasagot,” Julia said before revealing the conversations she often has with Coco behind closed doors. “Kasi sabi ko sa kanya (Coco), ‘wag tayong magpa-pressure kasi siyempre una, bata pa naman kami.” </p><p>While she believes they will eventually receive the blessing that comes with marriage, Julia explained that she feels there are still many things they both want to accomplish before entering that stage of their lives. </p><p>“Ayaw naming i-pressure &#x27;yung sarili namin...mas naniniwala kami na ‘ito, maayos tayo. Nasa center natin si God’ and then, go with the flow muna. Walang pressure,&quot; she continued.  </p><p>“Lalo ako, sabi ko nga sa kaniya, ‘sabihin mo na lang kapag may mga nagtatanong, ako naman ‘yung nagpapa-hold eh’ kasi bata pa ako. Ayoko naman na dahil nandito na tayo sa sitwasyon na ‘to [or] dahil nasa tamang edad na tayo, enter agad sa ganong factor,&quot; Julia explained.  </p><div><iframe width="780" height="439" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7-jrKLzPfVA" title="Coco Martin at Julia Montes, kasal na nga ba? PART 1 | Ogie Diaz" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p><br/>The actress also revealed that part of her hesitation stems from seeing people around them whose relationships changed after marriage, saying those experiences have made her cautious about taking that next step too soon. </p><p>“May fear akong ganon. So sabi ko na sa kaniya, ‘okay naman tayo, huwag ka munang makikinig sa iba’ kasi siyempre lalaki siya, siya ‘yung pine-pressure eh.” </p><p>She reiterated that despite the public pressure surrounding their long-term relationship, they remain genuinely happy with what they currently have and will only move toward marriage once they both truly feel ready. </p><p>“Dahil nga matagal na kami, sa akin, masaya kami sa kung ano man po ang mayroon kami. Sobrang blessed kami sa relationship and then time will come naman pag ready na both tsaka na namin gagawin.&quot;<br/><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2026/6/24/jhong-hilario-says-working-with-coco-martin-in-sigabo-fight-scenes-left-him-kinikilig-1116" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: Jhong Hilario says working with Coco Martin in ‘Sigabo’ fight scenes left him ‘kinikilig’</strong></a></p><div><br/></div><p>Coco then shared an unexpected detail about their relationship, revealing that Julia is actually the one who often brings up serious conversations about marriage-related legalities, particularly when it comes to protecting finances and assets after marriage.  </p><p>“Tsaka siya pa ‘yung nago-open sa akin [about] conjugal property...parang ako ‘bakit ganon? Parang baliktad?’...One time may napanuod kami, sabi niya, ‘Tatay kapag [kasal na] mag-[establish] ka ng pre-nup’ sabi niyang ganon.” </p><p>Julia then explained that her mindset comes from wanting Coco to always protect what he has worked hard for, stressing that financial security should never be overlooked, even within relationships. </p><p>“Kasi siyempre sabi ko, kailangan ingatan niya kung ano ‘yung kaniya,” she said. </p><p>Coco added that Julia constantly reminds him about being cautious when it comes to money and trusting others. </p><p>“Tsaka siya pa ‘yung [nagsasabi ng] trust no one,” he said. </p><p>The actor further revealed that Julia handles many of the finances and paperwork in their household and has developed a habit of documenting every expense, ensuring everything remains transparent between them. </p><p>“Para kapag hinanap mo, [may proof]...Ganon siya ka-transparent,” Coco shared. </p><p>Explaining her side, Julia said she simply wants Coco to always know exactly where his hard-earned money is going, adding that trust should never mean neglecting financial accountability. </p><p>“Siguro dahil alam kong pinaghihirapan niya [lahat]. Lahat naman tayo nagta-trabaho. Pinaghihirapan mo ‘yung pera mo. Hindi porket pinagkakatiwala niya sa akin ay ia-assume ko na lang na okay ‘to — yung verbally okay tayo. Eh what if, in the future may mangyari, gusto ko lang laging naka-record para lang alam niya na ito ‘yung nagastos natin,” she explained.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-8" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZMLonlC0rg/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=432&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A8%2C%22os%22%3A13967788.800000012%2C%22ls%22%3A13941.699999988079%2C%22le%22%3A14258.599999964237%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="880" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-8" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>She then emphasized that her transparency is not rooted in distrust but rather in teaching one another responsible habits when handling finances, especially since money often becomes the cause of conflict in relationships.  </p><p>“Not because hindi niya ako pinagkakatiwalaan pero gusto ko namang ituro sa&#x27;yo ‘yung trust no one na part, kasi even ako gusto kong iparamdam sa&#x27;yo na dapat alam mo kung saan napupunta yung pera mo, yung pinaghihirapan mo. Hindi dahil sa hindi natin pinagkakatiwalaan ‘yung isa’t isa but gusto ko lang masanay siya na ganoon dapat para lang hindi masakit. Kasi minsan masakit kapag may nangyaring hindi maganda lalo sa pera.”  </p><p>“Eh ang rule namin ayaw naming pinag-aawayan [ang] anything about money. Nakasanayan lang na transparency at honesty,&quot; she continued.  </p><p>Coco added that even when Julia processes bank documents or handles financial meetings, she insists that he fully understands every detail before signing anything. </p><p>“Every time na may meeting ako about money matters, lagi siyang naka-upo kasi kailangan naiintindihan niya,” Coco revealed. </p><p>Beyond finances, Coco also expressed gratitude for finally having a partner he can genuinely depend on, saying that true partnership goes far beyond simply being in a romantic relationship. </p><p>“Ang sarap sa pakiramdam kasi nagkaroon ako ng partner. Madaling sabihin ‘yung relationship eh, pero yung as a partner kahit sa hirap at ginhawa, magkasama talaga kayo,” he said. </p><p>The actor then recalled how deeply touched he was seeing how hands-on she became when his grandmother got sick and eventually passed away. According to Coco, Julia personally accompanied his grandmother to Singapore for medical treatment and stood by their family during one of the most difficult periods in his life. As he shared this story, Julia herself became visibly emotional, listening beside him.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-10" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DZ4hh69k0ig/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=432&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A10%2C%22os%22%3A14024308.199999988%2C%22ls%22%3A13941.699999988079%2C%22le%22%3A14258.599999964237%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="925" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-10" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><p>Reflecting on everything they have gone through together, Coco admitted he often considers himself incredibly lucky to have Julia by his side because, for him, finding someone who can truly be a life partner is far more valuable than simply being in a relationship. </p><p>“Kaya sabi ko sa sarili ko, napa-swerte ko. Napaka-swerte ko kay Julia...Madaling magkaroon ng relasyon pero [mahirap magkaroon ng] taong makakatuwang mo at makakasama mo talaga sa buhay,” Coco expressed. </p><p>Coco and Julia are enjoying the success of their newest on-screen reunion on <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/sigabo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em><strong>Sigabo</strong></em></a><em><strong></strong>,</em> which has already drawn hundreds of thousands of viewers since its premiere week.
