Early life and education
Julia was raised alongside her brother Randy Bart in Taiwan, by their father Pasquale Belluci and mother Brunella Brigati; nothing about Julia’s family is known, as she respects their privacy, however, it’s said that her father was a chemical engineer, and that her mother was a high school teacher.
She became interested in modelling while attending a local elementary school, and Julia and her peers often bought girly magazines to admire the models featured in them. Her passion for acting was born when she was around 10 years old, as it was then that her parents took her to see her first theatre play. Julia then started practicing acting at a local school for the performing arts, and was only 12 when she won her role in “Rush Hour”.
Her interest in acting soon faded, and she chose to focus on her education instead. She studied at a local high school, and was into numerous activities during her four years there, including playing tennis and volleyball for the school’s teams, practicing creative writing and dancing.
Upon matriculating in 2004, she moved to the US, and enrolled at the University of Southern California, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in business cinema-television in 2008.

Love life and spouse
Julia is highly secretive when it comes to her love life, and hasn’t mentioned any men or women whom she has perhaps been with. This is mostly why there are many rumors circulating the internet, which concern her sexual orientation and current marital status.
Some of her fans believe that she’s lesbian, and this to be the reason behind her not sharing the details of her past and present relationships. Some people on the internet have even claimed to have seen Julia kissing her girlfriend in Taipei City, Taiwan, but no evidence has been provided to support these claims, nor has she addressed the rumors.
