The challenge will be if they only have ONE F seat. Some airlines overlook pairs/couples on linked bookings in favor of upgrading singles. But thats when systems/procedures are in place. In EK's case, there are no set systems/procedures, so you should stand a good chance. It can also work in your favor where the load controller will scan for Golds, (see the two of you) and op-up you both. Well, that's been my experience anyway. If Y and J are full as you say, then expect a full F cabin. Good luck, let us know how it goes.
