The actress thanks her longtime partner for his strength, sacrifices and love for their families as he celebrates his birthday on November 1
Julia Montes marked Coco Martin’s birthday on Sunday, November 1, 2026, with a heartfelt Instagram message thanking her longtime partner for standing by her through the years.
“Happy birthday to my partner in life, my love! Life isn’t always easy, and we’ve been through so much together, but if there’s one thing I’m always grateful for, it’s having you by my side,” the Kapamilya actress wrote.
Julia went on to praise the actor-director for everything he gives to the people closest to him. “I’ve seen your strength, your sacrifices, your dreams, and the love you give to our families. And I hope you know how much I appreciate everything you do, even the little things I don’t always get to say thank you for,” she said.
“I’m proud of the man you are and everything you continue to become. Through all the ups and downs, the busy days, the challenges, and the beautiful moments, I will always be here cheering for you, supporting you, and loving you,” she added.
For her birthday wish, Julia kept it simple. “My wish is for you to have a happy heart, a peaceful mind, good health, and more beautiful years with us,” she wrote, before signing off with: “Happy birthday, my love. Here’s to more dreams, more memories, and more of life together. I love you!”
The couple, who have also worked together onscreen, have previously shared what keeps their relationship strong. “Yung tandem namin, kaya siguro nasasabi rin namin na perfect kasi nga it takes two to tango. Lagi kaming tulungan, laging iisipin yung isa,” Julia said in an earlier interview.
Coco, for his part, has said respect matters as much as love. “Natutunan namin na sa haba ng proseso, ang pinaka-key ay yung marespeto kami sa isa’t isa,” he said. “Yung respeto tsaka pagsusuportahan sa isa’t isa ayon yung pinakasikreto namin kaya yung pagmamahal namin mas tumitindi.”
Julia has also spoken about how Coco listens to her, whether on personal matters, business or their careers. “Kahit alpha siya sa family, hindi mo mafe-feel na hindi siya nagi-give. Open siya to any advice, any communication,” she said.
