Júlio has been married for ten years and has a one-year-old son, Martim. His other great passion is competition. Whether it's handball, jiu-jitsu, chess, what matters is winning, and he hates losing, but he says that rarely happens to him. He says he loves winning so much that he might even cheat to achieve it![1]
Júlio offered to share some of his winnings with Álvaro Marinho and Carla Pereira, as their business was experiencing some financial difficulties. However, they declined as he had a young child to take care of.
Trivia[]
Júlio is tied with Mark Norman for the contestant who has voted consecutively for the same person the most number of times in any version, with 4 consecutive Banishment votes against António Borralho.
