Early 1985 - It is rumored Julian and his girlfriend of 4 years, Debbie Boyland, are engaged. Julian later explained how the rumor was started, "The newspapers called up and said, 'If you don't tell us what's going on, we'll print that you're getting married.' Now, there was no story to tell-I've been living with Debbie for a while, so rather than have an argument over something silly like that, I said, 'Just go ahead and print it.' So they did! It's a bit annoying when people come up and say, 'When are you getting married then?' But you know what the papers are like."
