Kristine Hermosa Orille-Sotto (Tagalog: [ˈkɾɪstɪn heɾˈmɔsa ˈsɔtɔ]; born September 9, 1983), professionally known by her maiden name Kristine Hermosa, is a Filipino actress, model, endorser and entrepreneur. She is recognized as one of her generation's most successful actresses in the Philippines.

Hermosa made her screen debut in the youth-oriented variety show, Ang TV (1995). Her breakthrough came in the classic soap opera, Pangako Sa ‘Yo (2000). To date, it remains as the second top-rating television series of all time in the Philippines. Since then, she has established herself as one of the country's superstars,[1] achieving a subsequent level of prominence and recognition in the years that followed by starring in a number of beloved soap operas including Sana'y Wala Nang Wakas (2003), 'Til Death Do Us Part (2005), Gulong ng Palad (2006), Prinsesa ng Banyera (2007) and Dahil May Isang Ikaw (2009), which garnered a nomination at the prestigious International Emmy Awards and became a finalist in the 2011 New York Festivals TV & Film Award.[2]

Apart from being the second half of the groundbreaking and one of ABS-CBN's prime loveteams "EchoTin" (with Jericho Rosales), she has also been referred as one of the network's blockbuster queens, noted for having the "talent, commercial pull, and magic all combined to seize box-office."[3] Among her most notable works is the film, Forevermore (2002) which is deemed as "one of the sweetest, biggest films of all time."[3] In 2003, Ngayong Nandito Ka was released. It was a blockbuster hit, earning ₱115 million at the box office. The following year, she teamed up with Aga Mulach in the film All My Life. It prove to be a bigger success, grossing ₱175 million.[4] The same year, she teamed up with Vic Sotto in Enteng Kabisote: OK Ka Fairy Ko... The Legend (2004), the first installment of the highly successful Enteng Kabisote film series.

She went on to reprise her role as "Faye" in the succeeding four installments of the Enteng Kabisote film series up until 2007. The second among them, Enteng Kabisote 2: Okay Ka Fairy Ko... The Legend Continues! (2005) was a box-office success, earning ₱158 million domestically, hailing her as the "Box-Office Queen" at the 2005 GMMSF Box Office Entertainment Award.[5] She took an indefinite hiatus in 2010 to focus on her family with Oyo Sotto. She made her television comeback in the sitcom Hay, Bahay (2016) and returned to her mother network in 2018 to play an antagonist role in Bagani.[6]

On September 21, 2004, she married actor Diether Ocampo. Their marriage ended shortly after and was officially nullified on January 30, 2009.[7] Hermosa announced per Instagram post on February, 2024 that she is pregnant with her sixth child with Sotto.[8][9]

Hermosa married actor and host Oyo Boy Sotto on January 12, 2011. They have five children - Kiel, Ondrea Bliss, Kaleb Hanns, Marvic Valentin and Vittorio Isaac.[10][11][12]
