Hayden Dela Santa Kho Jr. was born on May 20, 1980 in the Philippines to parents Hayden Kho Sr., a Chinese doctor, and Irene Dela Santa, a Spanish-Filipina businesswoman.[5]
He spent his early years at Grace Christian High School (now Grace Christian College) in Quezon City.[1] Kho studied at the University of Santo Tomas, earning a bachelor's degree in medical technology in 2001 and a medical degree in 2005.[6] He completed his internship at the Makati Medical Center, where he also served as president of the interns' association.[7] He received his medical license in 2007.[8]
Modeling and Television career
Kho began his modeling career at 16, appearing in runway shows locally and internationally, including in the United States, Singapore, South Korea, and Japan.[citation needed] In 2007, he began his career on television in the Philippines as an actor, appearing on Celebrity Duets, and taking on supporting roles for GMA Network.[9]
Kho was the focus of public controversy in 2009, involving his alleged participation in a sex scandal that garnered widespread national attention.[10] As a result, criminal and civil cases were filed against him by Filipina actress Katrina Halili, with whom he had partnered on Celebrity Duets. He ultimately faced the Senate for a public trial.[11][12] As a result of the case, he was stripped of his medical license in 2011 but it was ultimately reinstated in 2014.[13]
