Kylie Nicole Sicangco Padilla (Tagalog pronunciation: [paˈdilja]; born January 25, 1993) is a Filipino actress, singer and model. She is the daughter of actor Robin Padilla and Liezl Sicangco. She is currently an exclusive artist of GMA Network.

Early life

Kylie Nicole Sicangco Padilla was born in Angeles, Pampanga, to Filipino actors Robin Padilla and Liezl Sicangco. From the age of seven, she studied in Queensland, Australia during her elementary years.[1] She became a Muay Thai practitioner in 2008 after her family returned to the country.[2] Although raised in the Jehovah's Witnesses faith, she has been practising Islam since April 1998, almost a decade before joining showbiz, despite not being a devout Muslim. According to Kylie Padilla during a TikTok Live, she now identifies as a Buddhist. She also shared that she used to practice Islam when she was younger. [3][4]

Career

Padilla is a GMA Network contract star. Her TV series include Joaquin Bordado, Blusang Itim, The Good Daughter and Adarna. She was awarded as the Best New Female Personality (tied with Patricia Gayod) in the 22nd PMPC Star Awards for Television last 2008 for her acting performance in Joaquin Bordado.[5]

Kylie Padilla was on Eat Bulaga! & Encantadia (2016 TV series).

In 2015, Padilla made guest appearances as a temporary host on the Philippine noontime variety show Eat Bulaga!. During her appearances, she participated in several segments of the program. In August 2015, she competed in the Cheerdance Pa More! edition of Bulaga Pa More!, performing a cheerleading routine with the Arellano Chiefsquad. She won both the weekly competition and the grand finals of the Cheerdance edition, which qualified her for the Bulaga Pa More’s Battle of the Champions. She later advanced to the competition's grand finals, where she finished as one of the finalists.

Padilla became a household name due to her role in fantasy-drama reboot of Encantadia where she portrayed Sang'gre Amihan, the series' lead monarch character.

Personal life

Padilla got engaged to actor Aljur Abrenica by late January 2017,[6] with whom she has a son born on August 4, 2017.[7] The two had started dating in 2011 until they broke up in 2014.[8] They dated again in September 2016.[9] They got married on December 11, 2018.[10]

In December 2019, Padilla gave birth to her second child[11] However, the couple separated in April 2021.[12] Padilla was later linked to JM de Guzman, although she denied the romance allegations between them.[13] She also denied de Guzman's involvement in her and Abrenica's breakup.[14] As of 2026, the annulment of Padilla's marriage to Abrenica is still being processed.[15][16]

She discussed her struggles and hardship of working as a single mother.[17][18]
