In his response, Octavio said that Juliana’s message had left him “speechless”.
He added: “Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life and sharing your accomplishments with me.
“This love has always grown day by day.
“Keep shining my love and remember I will always be here to support you every step of the way and your dreams!!”
It is not known how long the couple have been together, but Juliana has spoken before about the challenge of being in a long-distance relationship.
She stated that while she was living in Cochabamba, Bolivia, Octavio was in Mexico.
