Early Life and education

Gabriel Arellano Concepcion is now, at the age of 60. He was born on November 5, 1964, in San Juan, Rizal, Philippines, and was raised in Metro Manila.

His parents were Rolando “Rollie” Concepcion and Lourdes Arellano, names that later appeared in family news moments shared publicly when each parent passed away (his father in 2008 and his mother in 2020). He reportedly studied at Ateneo de Manila, Aquinas School, and Centro Escolar University.

Personal Life

Gabby Concepcion’s personal life has often been discussed alongside his public career, largely because he married and formed a family during the height of his stardom. In 1984, he married actress-singer Sharon Cuneta; their marriage included both a civil wedding in July and a church wedding in September at the Manila Cathedral.

They had one child together, Maria Kristina Cassandra “KC” Cuneta Concepcion, born in 1985. The relationship later ended: they legally separated in 1987 and the marriage was annulled in 1993, following public discussion that included accusations of bigamy.

He later married actress and model Jenny Syquia, and they had a daughter, Cloie Helena Syquia-Skarne. Concepcion also had a daughter, Maria Gabrielle “Garie” Ibuna Concepcion, with businesswoman Maria Grace Ibuna.

In 2004, he married Genevieve Yatco Gonzales. Their family includes two daughters, Samantha Alexis Concepcion and Savannah Concepcion.

Later interviews around his reunion concert with Sharon Cuneta showed a more settled tone: he acknowledged that they were on okay terms while also saying they were not “friends” in the close sense, and other public remarks from Sharon described limited contact after their concert.

Career

Gabby Concepcion’s career started with teen-oriented commercial modeling and quickly moved into film. One early milestone was his appearance in a Close-Up toothpaste commercial in 1980, followed by his entry into movies the same year.

In the early 1980s, he became closely associated with romantic features that drew big audiences, including Dear Heart and P.S. I Love You. These titles helped solidify him as a major box-office lead and, for many viewers, defined the “Sharon-Gabby” screen partnership of that era.

Through the 1980s and early 1990s, he maintained a heavy film workload, alternating between romance, drama, and mainstream commercial projects. By the early 1990s, he was also earning major acting recognition, including notable awards attention for performances tied to prestige-leaning drama titles.

His career also included abrupt, widely noted pivots. In late 1988 he left for the United States without finishing scenes for Pahiram ng Isang Umaga, a move that affected the film’s release plans. He later migrated to the U.S. in the mid-1990s and pursued real estate work in California, then returned to Philippine show business in 2008 for a new phase of film and television activity.

The comeback era was built largely on television: he took major roles in well-watched dramas such as Iisa Pa Lamang, Dahil May Isang Ikaw, Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo, and Kahit Puso’y Masugatan.

He also worked with TV5 for projects like P.S. I Love You and Cassandra: Warrior Angel, before transferring to GMA Network in 2015 and anchoring a long run of series that included Because of You and the highly talked-about Ika-6 na Utos. His GMA period later added romantic-comedy mainstream visibility through First Yaya and First Lady, and he continued headlining roles into the mid-2020s.
