Early life
Kyline Nicole Aquino Alcantara Manga[N 2] was born on September 3, 2002,[3] in Ocampo, Camarines Sur, Philippines, to Rowena Alcantara and Salvador "Butch" Manga.[4][5] She has brothers named Robin and Kent, and her parents divorced when Alcantara was four. Alcantara attended Saint Francis of Assisi College for her primary education and later attended Academy of Christian Excellence Montessori for two years of high school before moving onto Exodus Elementary School.[4]
As a child, Alcantara wanted to become an actor, prompting her to join theater plays. She gained attention from show business in 2009, at the of seven. Before auditioning as a cast member in Goin' Bulilit (2005–2019), Alcantara's family traveled to ABS-CBN Broadcasting Center in Diliman, Quezon City, where they arrived too late and noticed auditions had ended.[4]
Career
Alcantara became disillusioned at the Goin' Bulilit audition and negotiated minor television roles. In 2010, she auditioned for the television talent show Star Circle Quest: Search for the Next Kiddie Superstars, in which she qualified to the top ten before being the first contestant to be eliminated from the show. Despite losing,[4] she was recruited at Star Magic in 2011.[6] In 2013, Alcantara starred opposite Andrea Brillantes in the remake of GMA Network's Anna Liza (1980–1985), titled Annaliza. At her audition for the show, she immediately secured the role of antagonist. In a 2020 retrospective, Alcantara said her craftsmanship influenced the show, having had acting lessons from co-stars Zanjoe Marudo, Kaye Abad, Denise Laurel, and director Theodore Boborol. Her next supporting roles were Jessa Boborol in Pangako Sa 'Yo (2015–2016) and Chloe in Born for You (2016). Alcantara made her cinema debut with minor roles in 2015 films Hamog and Etiquette for Mistresses. Her Star Magic contract expired in 2017.[4]
With Alcantara's departure from ABS-CBN, she decided to transfer to GMA Network in October 2017 and appeared as Cheska in the television series Kambal, Karibal (2017–2018). She co-stars in the series, including Bianca Umali, Miguel Tanfelix, Pauline Mendoza, and Jeric Gonzales, presented her with new acting experiences. Alcantara then auditioned for the role of young Teresa but Jean Garcia was awarded the part. Lauded by viewers[7][8] and acquiring the honorific nickname[9] "la nueva kontrabida",[10][11] the performance won her a PMPC Star Award for Television[12][13] and garnered her an Asian Academy Creative Award nomination.[14][15]

After signing a five-year contract with Sparkle in March 2018,[1][16][N 3] Alcantara headlined GMA Network's television series Inagaw na Bituin (2019), Bilangin ang Bituin sa Langit (2020–2021),[4] and I Can See You: #Future (2021).[19] In 2018, she co-hosted two variety shows: Sunday PinaSaya and Studio 7.[4] During Alcantara's time at GMA Network, the media called her "la nueva diva"[11][20][21] and later "Kapuso breakout star".[N 4] She signed with GMA Music[25][N 5] and released her debut album Kyline in September 2018.[27] Alcantara's next film role was in Julius Alfonso's Black Lipstick (2019) alongside Migo Adecer, Manolo Pedrosa, and Kate Valdez.[28] Rappler critic Oggs Cruz criticized the film's complicated, unfocused scope, describing it as "old-fashioned".[29] Alcantara hosted alongside others, including Alden Richards and Julie Anne San Jose, in the variety show All-Out Sundays, which began airing in January 2020.[30] She then portrayed Tonito (Richard Yap) and Aurelia's (Issa Litton) daughter Tiffany in the television romantic drama series I Left My Heart in Sorsogon (2021–2022).[31]
Personal life
Alcantara had difficulties with acne, missing roles, her family life, finances, and rejection from auditions.[1][4] She is an ambassador for companies Converse[32] and Ever Bilena,[33] and agencies SOS Children's Villages[34][35] and the Korea Tourism Organization (KTO). Alcantara's purpose of the KTO is to maintain South Korea a "top-of-mind tourist destination for Filipinos".[36] She and fellow I Left My Heart in Sorsogon star Mavy Legaspi are in a relationship since December 2021.[37]
