The mother of Kim Chiu passed away on Sunday, June 23, amid speculations about reunion and closure in the family of the Kapamilya star.
Louella Yap Chiu, 50, succumbed to a still undisclosed illness at a hospital in the Chius’ home city of Cebu.
Chiu, 23, and her siblings had been under the guardianship of their paternal grandmother, a businesswoman, before she joined ABS-CBN’s Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition in 2006. Her parents are known to be separated, and the actress-singer has not been demure about her wish to see them both.
In the Big Brother reality show, she emerged as its first Teen Big Winner, which led to more opportunities and to her current standing as among today’s top young stars.
On April 29, Chiu finally met her father in Mindoro where he now resides with a new family. Chiu and onscreen partner Xian Lim were also there to attend an event.
Chiu had a snapshot taken of herself, apparently teary eyed and happy, with her father and posted it on her chinitaprincess Instagram.
“Happy for you” was the common expression of solidarity among her followers to this father-daughter reunion, 10 days after Chiu’s birthday.
The circumstances were different, however, in the case of Chiu’s encounter with her ailing mother. Chiu has declined to comment and appealed for privacy. – Rappler.com
