Personal life

Muhlach was born on November 5, 2001, to actor Aga Muhlach and former beauty queen, model, and host Charlene Gonzales. She has a twin brother, Andrés Antonio Muhlach, and an older half-brother, Luigi "Iggy Boy" Muhlach, Aga's son with actress Janice de Belen. After graduating from the British School Manila, Muhlach attended Nottingham Trent University in England, where she pursued a business-related course.[4]

Muhlach attended the prestigious Le Bal des Débutantes in November 2022, an annual event in Paris, France, with a select group of 20–25 girls from around the world to raise funds for young women's charities.[5] [6]

Months prior to her debut as a noontime show host, she earned a business degree with honors from Nottingham on July 28, 2023. Muhlach is a fitness enthusiast and athlete. Apart from swimming, marathon, basketball, golf, boxing and having played for the under-18 women's national rugby team, she also enjoys water sports such as wakeboarding, jet skiing, parasailing, diving and snorkelling.[7]

Career

Muhlach has appeared on Jollibee commercials since her childhood, featuring her parents and twin brother Andres.[8]

With a showbiz lineage, Muhlach entered the industry after completing business school in Nottingham because her parents encouraged her to focus more on her studies. During her contract signing with Viva Entertainment in July 2023, she disclosed that her aspiration to join the showbiz industry had been a dream since she was a kid.[9]

On September 23, 2023, Muhlach was introduced as the newest co-host of E.A.T., now rebranded as Eat Bulaga! and before her introduction, hosts Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon described her as a fashionista, studious, performer, artist, and family-oriented.[10]

On October 25, 2023, Muhlach released her first single, "Pasuyo", under Vicor Music, a record label under Viva Records, which was praised by fans and fellow celebrities for its relatable pop arrangement with composition by Kyle Raphael and produced by JP Verona.[11]

Atasha joined her parents and twin brother, Andres, in a sitcom—marking their first-ever acting project as a family—after officially signing a contract on January 26, 2024, to collaborate with MediaQuest Ventures, Cignal, TV5, Viva Films, Studio Viva, and Viva Entertainment.[12]
