In 2013, Barretto filed a petition before the Quezon City Regional Trial Court to change her surname from Baldivia (her father's surname) to Barretto (her mother's surname). Her parents, actors Marjorie Barretto and Dennis Padilla were separated since 2007; their marriage was declared null and void in 2009 due to her father's bigamy based on NSO (National Statistic Office) records.{{cite web |title=Julia Barretto to change surname ‘to prevent confusion’ |url=https://www.sunstar.com.ph/more-articles/julia-barretto-to-change-surname-to-prevent-confusion |website=SunStar |access-date=16 April 2025 |date=16 July 2014}} Her representatives explained that this was to "prevent confusion" due to different surnames used in public and official records. As of 2021, Barretto reportedly still carried her father's surname in her contracts and business dealings.{{cite news|title=Julia Barretto still carries real surname of father Dennis Padilla - sources|url= https://mb.com.ph/2021/6/6/julia-barretto-still-carries-real-surname-of-father-dennis-padilla-sources|date=June 7, 2021 |publisher=Manila Bulletin}}
In 2020, Barretto filed a legal complaint against former broadcaster Jay Sonza for cyber libel and violation of the Safe Spaces Act at the National Bureau of Investigation due to his malicious social media posts alleging her pregnancy.{{cite news|title=Julia Barretto files complaint against Jay Sonza over pregnancy rumor|url= https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/09/25/20/julia-barretto-files-case-against-jay-sonza-over-pregnancy-rumor|date=September 25, 2020 |publisher=ABS-CBN News}}
