Is Jane de Leon Related To Christopher de Leon?
The only way Christopher de Leon and Jane De Leon will be related to each other is if they co-star in the same movie.
The 65-year-old actor known as an acting genius in the Philippines started his career five decades ago.
I wouldn’t blame you if you thought Jane was Christopher’s daughter, as the veteran actor has ten children. Anyone would have bet that Jane could be one of those ten kids.
The actor has five children from his first marriage with actress Nora Aunor, out of which their first four children, Lotlot De Leon Matet de Leon, Kiko, and Kenneth, were adopted, and their only biological child was Ian de León.
The couple divorced after five years of marriage in 1980, and the actor exchanged his vows for the second time with actress Sandy Andylong.
The actor, who seems interested in making a football team, went on to have five children, once again, but this time with Sandy.
Rafael, Miguel, Gabriel, Mariel, and Mica are the five biological children of the couple. In 2019, the couple renewed their wedding vows in Vietnam to celebrate their 39th year of being together.
Who Is Jane de Leon’s Biological Father? Meet Ruel Florencio de Leon
Ruel Florencio de Leon, the actress Jane de Leon’s biological father, was once a successful businessman. Ruel had lived an opulent lifestyle before his world came crashing down as he suffered financial losses leaving him bankrupt.
A strict father who showed tough love towards his daughter, Ruel disapproved of Jane’s dream of becoming an actress. Not only did he disapprove of it, but he also made sure not to let her go to any auditions. Jane along with her mother would sneak out at night to attend various auditions.
Jane’s hard work paid off, and she broke into the Filipino acting industry with a role in the movie Ex-With Benefits, but before that, from 2013 to 2015, she struggled to find projects.
Right when Jane started to bag major roles in movies and TV shows, Ruel de Leon passed away after battling lung cancer in 2016. Ruel didn’t get the chance to watch his daughter become one of the biggest stars in the Philippines, but the old man is certainly smiling from above.
Taking to Instagram on Father’s Day, the Darna famed actress penned an emotional post for her father. The caption read, “To my ever trying Papa Rouel and he looks like me, (don’t be jealous Mom) HAPPY FATHER’S day! I miss you a lot! Thank you so much for the love, care, attention, and sacrifice you poured into me and Kuya and Mama.
Gabb as 202X Darna. hmmmmm
No Jane De Leon required. She can go back to her grandpa Joey De Leon for all I care.

Jane continued, “Sometimes, it just pains me not having you around, to be with us at this time of my life so that I can be with you in all my walks and activities. I still miss you so much and our bonding moments, especially fishing. How I wish you were still here with us. Continue to guide and watch over me Papa…I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.”
