Early life

Soberano was born in Santa Clara, California to a Filipino father, John Castillo Soberano, and American mother, Jacqulyn Elizabeth Hanley. She was raised in Visalia, California by her paternal grandparents when her parents separated. In 2008 at the age of ten, she moved to Manila, Philippines to live with her father and relatives.

At age ten, after moving to Manila she was offered jobs to model for print and television ads. At the age thirteen a talent scout spotted her and was introduced to Ogie Diaz who is now her talent manager. Since she could not speak Filipino at the time, her talent manager encouraged her to become fluent in the language so that she can land good television and film projects.
