Miel Pangilinan has addressed speculation regarding her parentage after a social media user suggested she was the daughter of Rico Blanco.
In a heartfelt TikTok post, Miel shared a touching message alongside a photo of herself with her parents, Sharon Cuneta and Kiko Pangilinan.

She expressed gratitude for their support and influence on her life, stating, “Thank u for creating me. i’m forever thankful for the support i get from the both of you, i am who i am because of you. i love you both forever and ever.”
However, a comment from a netizen claiming she was Rico Blanco’s daughter prompted a response from Miel. Rather than becoming upset, she replied to the comment, saying, “Hindi daw sabi nya 😭😭😭😭.”
This exchange reignited past speculation about Miel’s parentage, as Rico Blanco had a previous relationship with actress-entrepreneur KC Concepcion, the daughter of Sharon Cuneta and Gabby Concepcion. Their relationship, which lasted from 2003 to 2005, led to rumors that Miel could potentially be their child, a claim allegedly kept from the public.
Miel, also known as Mariel Daniella Sophia Pangilinan, was born in 2004, adding to the intrigue surrounding her familial connections.
