Emmanuelle “Emman” Atienza, a 19-year-old TikTok creator and daughter of Filipino television host Kim Atienza and Felicia Atienza, has passed away.

Her family confirmed the tragic news on October 22, 2025, through an emotional statement shared on social media.

“It’s with deep sadness that we share the unexpected passing of our daughter and sister, Emman,” her mother, Felicia, wrote. “She brought so much joy, laughter, and love into our lives and into the lives of everyone who knew her.”

Emman, affectionately called Emmanuelle, was a rising social media personality known for her honesty and openness about mental health. She was a member of GMA’s Sparkle Artist Centre, where she was recognised for her authenticity, style, and message of self-acceptance.

Born on February 8, 2006, Emman had developed a growing fan base online for her candid conversations on wellbeing and body positivity.

A fashion enthusiast, she studied at the Parsons Summer Academy in New York and made her runway debut at Bench Fashion Week in 2022. Friends and fans described her as grounded, kind-hearted, and deeply empathetic despite her family’s fame.

Her parents, Kim and Felicia, released a statement urging others to honour her memory by carrying forward her compassion and courage. “To honour Emman’s memory, we hope you carry forward the qualities she lived by: compassion, courage, and a little extra kindness in your everyday life,” they said.

The Atienza family has requested privacy as they mourn their daughter, whose light and authenticity continue to inspire many.
