In 2010, Sotto married businessman Jojo Oconer,[1][2] with whom she has a son.[3]
At age six, Sotto made her first appearance on Eat Bulaga! and became one of the show's regular hosts from 2005 to 2012.

During her teenage years, Sotto together with cousin Danica Sotto and Jocas de Leon, had a regular Saturday production number in Eat Bulaga!.
