Some netizens did the math after Coco Martin confirmed his 12-year relationship with Julia Montes.

COCO MARTIN – “Child predator” and “groomer”? Netizens have different reactions after Coco Martin admitted his relationship with Julia Montes for 12 years.

Grooming is “when someone builds a relationship, trust, and emotional connection with a child or young person so they can manipulate, exploit and abuse them” based on NSPCC.

A child predator, on the other hand, is “a person who has been convicted of a criminal offense against a victim who is a minor” as per Law Insider.

And some people online were throwing some foul words and accusations at Coco Martin after admitting that he and Julia Montes have been together for 12 years already. Netizens did the Math and the result was a bit mind-blowing to some.

People were mindblown thinking that the actress was just 16 years old when they officially got together while the actor was 29 years old. Currently, Julia is 28 and Coco is 41 years old.

In a previous article, he said this, “Napaka-sarap sa pakiramdam namin dahil ito, ilang years na, 12 years na kaming magkasama pero pareho pa rin gaya ng dati.”

As for Julia, their faith played an important part in their relationship. She said, “Kung ano po ‘yung posisyon namin, or narating namin ngayon, blessed kami. And never kasing nawala sa center si God so parang lahat ng nangyayaring good stuff, si God ang gumawa noon.”

Their real score is a long-standing speculation but recently, they finally confirmed it but people online have mixed reactions.
