On Friday morning, October 24, 2025, the media was shocked to hear that Emman Atienza, a social media star and the daughter of Kapuso TV host Kim Atienza and educator Felicia Hung-Atienza, had died.
The family wrote on Instagram that the 19-year-old content creator “unexpectedly passed away.” The post didn’t say what caused or when he died, but it did say that Emman had been having mental health problems before the event.
“Ang pinagdadaanan namin ngayon ay hindi madali para sa aming pamilya.” “We ask for privacy as we grieve the loss of our beloved Emman,” a part of the family’s statement said.
Status by Sparkle, GMA Network’s digital arm for influencers and online stars, has made Emman one of the up-and-coming content creators. She became famous for her creative and inspiring work at a young age, where she often shared positive messages with kids.
Emman lost his parents and his brothers and sisters, Jose and Eliana.
A lot of people on the internet and other influencers sent their condolences and sadness over the young man’s sudden death. People knew him as a kind and caring person.
Atienza’s family hasn’t said much about the other parts of Emman’s upcoming ceremonies yet.
