Kirsten "Kisses" Danielle Tan Delavin (born May 1, 1999) is a Filipina actress and singer. She first gained fame in 2016 as a contestant in the reality television series, Pinoy Big Brother where she placed second.

Early life and education

Kirsten Danielle Tan Delavin was born on May 1, 1999, in Masbate to Filipino parents Gilbert and Carrie Delavin.[1] She had a younger sister named Keithleen Gracerie who was born prematurely on her mother's sixth month of pregnancy however she died at age 1.[2] At age 6, Delavin was diagnosed with viral encephalitis and was comatose for less than a day.[3] Her mother describes her as a "miracle baby" as out of the eight pregnancies that she had, only Delavin survived.[4]

At a young age, Delavin showed interest in beauty contests, joining her first one at the age of 3.[5] She entered several beauty contests, winning Miss Teen Masbate in 2013, and Miss Masbate and Miss Kaogma in 2016.[6]

Delavin attended De La Salle University (DLSU) to pursue a bachelor's degree in accountancy but she placed it on hold when she joined Pinoy Big Brother.[7] In 2019, she returned to DLSU but now taking a business course.[8]

Career

Delavin began her acting career with a minor role in the drama series Pangako Sa 'Yo (2015).[9] In 2016, Delavin auditioned for the thirteenth season of the reality television series Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) after she saw an advertisement about it on Facebook.[10] She succeeded in joining and was officially introduced as a teen contestant in PBB on the late-night talk show Tonight with Boy Abunda. When asked by Abunda why she joined, Delavin said she auditioned "to prove that she is ready to become an independent woman".[11] Delavin was later announced as a semi-finalist on the show and had to temporarily exit due to the program's format.[12] On the show's finale, Delavin was announced as a runner-up, with Maymay Entrata winning the competition.[13]

Delavin has appeared on episodes of Gandang Gabi, Vice!, Tonight with Boy Abunda, It's Showtime, ASAP, Magandang Buhay, Umagang Kay Ganda, Rated K, and Matanglawin.

Together with Marco Gallo, she was the Myx Celebrity VJ for the month of July 2017. Collectively known as "KissMarc", they also starred in Young JV's music video for the song "Kulay". They appeared together on several online and print materials, public engagements and as each other's love interest on various ABS-CBN TV shows and movies. Despite the success, the team-up ended following a controversial interview in the online show, Kapamilya Chat.

In October 2017, Delavin signed a contract under Star Music. She was the first official artist under the music sub-label, Star Pop. Tickets to her self-titled grand album launch in November 2017 sold out within 30 minutes. More than 15,000 units of her album were sold the day prior to its launch. She formally received her gold and platinum certifications from PARI on the January 21, 2018 episode of ASAP.[14]

In February 2018, her first solo sold-out concert was held in the KIA Theatre, guested by Sam Milby, Karla Estrada, Marlo Mortel and Tony Labrusca.

In 2018, Delavin was one of the regular hosts of ASAP Chillout.

She appeared on the front cover of MEGA magazine's March 2018 issue. The shoot was held in Prague, Czech Republic.

In April 2019, she had her 2nd solo sold-out concert entitled 'A Life Full Of Kisses' held in Music Museum.

In November 2019, Delavin left Star Magic and signed with APT Entertainment and Triple A Management, which manages GMA Network actresses Maine Mendoza and Marian Rivera.[17]

In December 2019, she is now under both the Kapamilya and Kapuso network after becoming a freelance actress. She now appears in mostly Kapuso shows and did her first major acting role in a mermaid-themed episode of Daig Kayo ng Lola Ko as Oceana.
