In November 1997, Barretto married Dennis Padilla, few months after their first child Julia was born.[10] The former couple relationship began to deteriorate due to a year and a half of growing differences[11] and they separated in 2007.[12] In the same year, Barretto filed for annulment and their marriage was declared null and void in 2009 due to Padilla prior marriage in 1994.[13]
