Only Daughter of Lea Salonga Celebrates 18th Birthday
LEA SALONGA – The Tony winner and Broadway star greeted her daughter, Nicole Beverly Chien, with a heartfelt message as she turns 18.
Across the globe, one of the most popular Filipino is Broadway star Lea Salonga who brought so much pride to the Philippines through her crystal-clear singing voice. She took major roles in several giant international projects like the musical Miss Saigon in London where she played as Kim.
Lea was only a teenager when her singing career started. Thus, a big part of the life of the Broadway star is not much of a secret to the public. Aside from joining musicals, she is also an actress who did several hit films that the people never forgets — as well as his phenomenal loveteam with Aga Muhlach that never fails to spark romantic excitement until now.
In November 2002, Lea Salonga met her future husband, Chinese businessman Robert Chien, through a friend. They were in a happy relationship that it smoothly progressed to getting engaged.
Lea Salonga was vocal that Robert Chien is like a combination of all the good qualities of the men who came before him. They got married in 2004 and welcomed their eldest and only daughter in 2006.
Robert and Lea named their daughter Nicole Beverly. She shared the stage with the Broadway star in many of her previous concerts when she was still a kid. Despite her mother’s prominence not only in the Philippines but across the globe, she managed to live a more private life.
Recently, the daughter of Lea Salonga turned 18 years old. On Facebook, the Broadway star has posted a photo of Nicole Beverly Chien along with a heartfelt message for her only daughter.
Lea described her daughter with the many good qualities that she possess. Here’s the heart-melting caption of the actress-singer on her birthday post:
“This is my 18-year-old. My artistic, sensitive, creative, smart, beautiful, affectionate, loving, incredible 18-year-old. I’m beyond blessed and fortunate to call this one mine. Happy Birthday, my babes! Momma loves you to the moon and back!” Lea wrote.
Happy 18th Birthday, Nicole!
