Early life
Kimberly Sue Yap Chiu was born on April 19, 1990. She is the fourth of five children to William Chiu, a businessman from Mindoro and Louella (née Yap; 1963–2013), a native of Dinagat Islands who migrated to Surigao del Sur; both her parents are Chinese Filipino. She is fluent in Cebuano, Tagalog, and English, with her Waray, Hokkien, and Mandarin Chinese at a beginner level only.
Since her parents' separation in 1998, Kim had a dysfunctional relationship with both of her parents. She and her siblings Lakam, Twinkle, William, and John Paul were raised by their paternal grandmother and, as children, frequently moved residences in the Visayas; including in Tacloban, Cebu, Cagayan de Oro, General Santos, Mindoro and back to Cebu City until 2006. In 2013, she reconciled with her father "after five years of estrangement" while visiting his second partner and half-siblings in San Jose, Occidental Mindoro. A month later in June, her biological mother, Louella, fell into a coma. Following a week of hospitalization, Louella died on June 23, 2013, due to brain aneurysm. In a eulogy dedicated to her mother, she debunked rumors of animosity over her mother's child abandonment and expressed: "An angel guides me in my decisions in life. For me, that is finally my mom."
Career
2006–2008: Career beginnings
Chiu gained prominence when she won the top prize in the reality series Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition. She was dubbed as "Chinita Princess ng Cebu".

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. She was the only housemate who was never nominated for eviction.
After winning, Chiu became part of Star Magic. She and her on-screen partner Gerald Anderson became regulars in ASAP XV and appeared together in several ABS-CBN shows Love Spell, comedy sitcom Aalog-Alog and in the film First Day High.
In 2007, Chiu starred in the primetime TV series entitled Sana Maulit Muli alongside Anderson which was released to significant acclaim.
