Instead of using her family's name and connection, the Kapuso actress worked hard to prove her worth in showbiz industry.
And instrumental to her success is the amazing support from boyfriend, Vin Abrenica.
The couple celebrated their eight anniversary together in January 2021. They welcomed their baby girl on March 15 of the same year.
Sophie wrote on Instagram to commemorate the occasion, “Scrolling through my gallery and realized that woooah, how time flies! We've known each other for 9 years, been together for 8, but swear it all feels like yesterday. We've been through many milestones together, gone to many places, have done countless crazy stupid things and all I really wanna say is I've been living my best life since meeting you”
Another incredible thing about Sophie is that she's a fitness buff and maintains an active lifestyle.
