Personal life

edit

Jodi Chrissie Garcia Santamaria is the youngest child. She and her brother were raised by their single mother, Mercedita.[7] She attended the Philippine Pasay Chung Hua Academy and was an honor student.[8] In school, Sta. Maria was active in her school's extra-curricular activities, particularly the volleyball varsity team and the debating team.[8]

Sta. Maria was married to Panfilo "Pampi" Lacson Jr., the son of former Senator Panfilo Lacson, from whom she is now separated.[9] The two met during a taping of Tabing Ilog[10] and married on Easter Sunday 2005 in Las Vegas.[7] The two separated in March 2011 and thereafter Sta. Maria filed a petition for the declaration of nullity of marriage with the Regional Trial Court on grounds of psychological incapacity. The court declared their marriage "null and void" in 2014 but that decision was junked by the Court of Appeals in 2016 and affirmed in 2017.[11] Their marriage was annulled in 2024.[12]

Sta. Maria and Lacson have a son born in 2005 named Panfilo "Thirdy" Lacson III. In a 2016 interview, Sta. Maria revealed that she was greatly affected by her separation from Lacson, which resulted in alcoholism and drug use. She quit smoking, alcohol, and drugs after the intervention of actress Coney Reyes and became a Born again Christian. The success of her TV series Be Careful with My Heart in 2012 also helped her recover from her addictions.[13]

Sta. Maria attended De La Salle University-Dasmariñas and studied Medical Biology as her prerequisite to studying Medicine.[14] She left college after a year due to the sudden success of her series Be Careful With My Heart, which was extended from its intended run of 3 months to 2 and 1/2 years.[15] She completed her degree in Psychology at Southville International School and Colleges in 2020. She was a Dean's Lister during her final semester in 2019.[16]

She has been a WHO Ambassador since 2011.[citation needed]

Career

edit

A talent scout approached Sta. Maria and her friends to audition for commercials while at a fast-food chain. After numerous auditions and no offers, they gave up. The talent scout approached Sta. María once again and encouraged her to audition for Star Magic. At 15, she was the youngest in their batch.

After starring and appearing in teen-oriented shows and movies such as Gimik, Flames, and Jologs, Sta. Maria landed a role in Tabing Ilog as the sassy tomboyish Georgina.[17] The show was successful and ran for almost five years. She also became a host of Star Circle Quest alongside Luis Manzano.

She was cast in the original version of Pangako Sa 'Yo (2000) as Lia Buenavista, and starred in the 2015 remake as Amor Powers.[18]

After playing teen roles, she played villainous characters in primetime shows such as Walang Kapalit and Kampanerang Kuba. She transitioned to star in numerous independent films, which have been screened internationally. She has since received 3 Gawad Urian Award nominations.
