How Simba Helped Julia Through Loneliness & Life In America

Simba has been an important part of Julia’s life since she arrived in America, and she has often shared posts highlighting their close bond. When Julia first moved to the U.S., she had no family or friends, making Simba her first and only companion. She once referred to him as her “son” and shared that he followed her everywhere, calling him a true “mama’s boy.” Fans who have followed Julia over the years have seen their special connection unfold on social media, even during the ups and downs of her relationship with Brandon.

Julia had always been open about not wanting children, but she recently revealed a doctor once told her she may never be able to get pregnant. Her choice not to have kids wasn’t entirely personal but was influenced by a medical diagnosis. Instead, she found joy in being a dedicated pet parent. Even Brandon, who previously urged her to have children, came to understand the depth of her connection with their dogs. Her love for them led to the creation of Kingdom For Dogs, a business offering monthly pet boxes. Simba was her heart, and now he's gone.
