Early life

[edit]

Kimberly Sue Yap Chiu was born on April 19, 1990. She is the fourth of five children to William Chiu, a Chinese Filipino businessman from Mindoro and Louella (née Yap; 1963–2013), a Philippine Tsinoy native who migrated from Dinagat Islands to Surigao del Sur, Philippines.[8] She is fluent in Cebuano, Tagalog, and English, with her Waray, Hokkien, and Mandarin Chinese at a beginner level only.[9]

Since her parents' separation in 1998, Kim had a dysfunctional relationship with both of her parents.[10] She and her siblings Lakam, Twinkle, William, and John Paul[11] were raised by their paternal grandmother and, as children, frequently moved residences in the Visayas; including in Tacloban, Cebu, Cagayan de Oro, General Santos, Mindoro and back to Cebu City until 2006.[12][13] In 2013, she reconciled with her father "after five years of estrangement"[14] while visiting his second partner and half-siblings in San Jose, Occidental Mindoro.[13] A month later in June, her biological mother, Louella, fell into a coma. Following a week of hospitalization, Louella died on June 23, 2013, due to brain aneurysm.[15][16][17] In a eulogy dedicated to her mother, she debunked rumors of animosity over her mother's child abandonment and expressed: "An angel guides me in my decisions in life. For me, that is finally my mom."[18][19]
