Career [edit]
Kim Chiu launched her career by winning the reality series Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition. Chiu and the rest of the housemates entered the Big Brother house on April 23, 2006. After 42 days in the Big Brother house, she was named the Teen Big Winner with 626,562 votes (41.4% of the total votes) at the Aliw Theatre inside the Cultural Center of the Philippines Complex in Pasay City. She was the only housemate who was never nominated for eviction.
Six months after winning, Chiu and her on-screen partner Gerald Anderson appeared together in several ABS-CBN shows and in the film, First Day High. Chiu and Anderson also appeared in Love Spell and Aalog-Alog.
Chiu became a regular in ASAP XV in 2006. In 2007, Kim Chiu and Anderson starred in the movie I've Fallen For You under Star Cinema. That same year, Chiu starred in the primetime TV series entitled Sana Maulit Muli alongside Anderson. She was then cast in Philippine adaptation of My Girl, a South Korean TV series.
In January 2009, Chiu starred in the TV series entitled Tayong Dalawa which garnered Chiu several acting awards. Her movie I Love You, Goodbye became part of Star Cinema's official entry to the 2009 Metro Manila Film Festival.

In 2010, Chiu starred in Paano Na Kaya with Anderson. She also starred in the primetime drama, Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo.
In October 2010, Chiu and Anderson teamed up again in the film Till My Heartaches End. That month, it was reported that the long-time couple, Chiu and Anderson (known as Kimerald), split but the reason for the break up was not discussed.
