Children of the 80s and 90s mostly swooned over the love team of Sharon Cuneta and Gabby Concepcion, where their movies were almost always blockbusters, and their on-screen romance blossomed into a real-life love story. At the age of 19, Sharon Cuneta gave birth to her child, Maria Kristina Cassandra Cuneta Concepcion, also known as KC Concepcion.
Sharon, coming from a prominent showbiz and political family, is the daughter of Elaine Gamboa, who is the sister of Helen Gamboa, the wife of former Senator Tito Sotto. Sharon’s father is the former Pasay City Mayor, Pablo Cuneta, who served for an extended period as the mayor of Pasay.
Tito, Vic, and Joey played a significant role in shaping Sharon Cuneta’s career. Joey De Leon, in particular, composed several of her songs, including the popular track “Mr. DJ,” back when Joey De Leon was a disc jockey.
The Sharon and Gabby tandem was truly iconic, even at a time when colored televisions were a luxury for the privileged few. Their wedding at Manila Cathedral was a blockbuster event, drawing hordes of fans.
However, due to their youth and personal reasons, Sharon Cuneta and Gabby Concepcion’s marriage ended in separation. In KC Concepcion’s heartfelt letter, one can see her deep desire to reunite her parents and rebuild their family.
With the upcoming reunion concert of Sharon and Gabby, it appears to be a fairy tale come true for their only child, KC. In her post, where she shared her old letters to her mother, many netizens were touched by the emotions expressed in these letters. It’s remarkable to think about how deeply affected KC was by her parents’ separation, especially considering her young age at that time.
As their reunion concert approaches, many fans are eagerly awaiting the event. October 27, 2023, is a date that holds great significance for all those who have followed their story.
