Sharon Cuneta opens up on KC, healing, and life beyond the limelight

In a rare and heartfelt conversation on ANC 24/7’s Beyond The Exchange, Megastar Sharon Cuneta sat down with esteemed journalist Rico Hizon for a wide-ranging interview that touched on motherhood, healing, and where she stands with her daughter KC Concepcion and ex-husband Gabby Concepcion.

Sharon, now in a reflective chapter of her life, was candid when asked about KC—the daughter she once raised in the limelight, and who now chooses a quieter life away from showbiz.

“KC’s okay,” Sharon shared with a gentle smile. “She’s now quietly focusing on her jewelry business. She studied at the Gemological Institute of America to really learn the craft—on top of her business degree. She still wants to do projects in entertainment, but it’s not her top priority anymore.”

For a mother-daughter relationship that has weathered its fair share of public scrutiny, Sharon was quick to clarify the depth of their bond when asked how “solid” things are now between them.

“I don’t think it’s ever been less than solid,” she said thoughtfully. “There have just been misunderstandings and disagreements along the way. You’re raising a human being, not a carbon copy of yourself. You can’t expect her to have your exact thoughts or choices. But she’s a good kid. We’ve had clashes, yes, but KC always tells me, ‘Mom, just trust in the way you raised me.’ And that always gives me peace.”

Sharon also acknowledged how distance and differences have shaped their connection over the years, but not diminished it. “She’s her own person now. And while we may not always be on the same page, the love has always been there.”

Rico, never one to shy away from the personal, also asked Sharon about her current relationship with KC’s father, Gabby Concepcion.

“We’re okay,” Sharon said plainly. “But you know, when people say you’re ‘friends,’ they sometimes mean constant communication—keeping in touch, checking in. In that sense, no, we’re not friends. But we’re not enemies either. We get along. We’re older now. We’ve moved on. And most importantly, we have a daughter.”
