Lea Salonga has long been open about supporting her child through his transition. In a previous interview with People magazine, as reported by Inquirer, the Broadway star shared her perspective on parenting and acceptance.
“The one thing I’ve learned is that you have to raise your child the way your child needs to be raised. As a parent, I want to set my child up for success.
“I want my child to feel safe and strong and ready to conquer the world on their own terms. You have to meet your child where they are,” the actress-singer said.
Lea Salonga is a globally recognized singer and stage actress who has earned numerous awards throughout her career. She rose to international fame after portraying Kim in the musical Miss Saigon, a role that won her a Tony Award and made her the first Asian woman to receive the honor.

More recently, Lea confirmed that she and her longtime husband, Robert Chien, have separated. She shared that they have been living apart for quite some time and revealed that Robert has since entered a new relationship.
