A Third Child In The Picture
Back in 1997, Julia was romantically involved with a banker named Édouard Stern. They welcomed a son named Maximilien together.
However, Maximilien’s life ended tragically when he passed away under unclear circumstances as an infant.
The exact cause of his death hasn’t been officially disclosed.
According to reports, an autopsy report that was kept secret indicated the presence of diazepam, a potent medication often used to manage seizures, in the baby’s system.
Additionally, there was a police inquiry into the matter, and it was suggested that a nanny, who disappeared shortly after Maximilien’s death, might have been involved.
Adoption Plan Back On Track
During Season 5 of The Real Housewives of Miami, Julia shared that she and her spouse, Martina, were looking to expand their family through adoption.
Their adoption plans hit a roadblock when Martina received diagnoses of Stage 1 throat cancer and early-stage breast cancer in November 2022.
In March 2023, Martina happily announced that she was cancer-free. However, the couple was unsure about proceeding with adoption after the challenging experience.
Despite their uncertainties, the couple recently announced that they are once again moving forward with their adoption plans.
“We’re renewing our plans for the adoption, and maybe we’ll get a happy call anytime…,” said the former model.
