Angel Locsin made a rare return to Instagram to publicly express her pride and excitement over her stepson Joaquin Arce’s entry into showbiz, marking her first post in months.
In her Instagram Story, the actress congratulated Joaquin, who was officially launched today as one of Star Magic’s Rising Stars under Cornerstone Entertainment.
Sharing a photo of the young actor from his Star Magic shoot, Angel wrote: “Me, your mom & your dad are very proud of you. Can’t wait to work with you.”
The heartwarming gesture instantly made Angel Locsin a trending topic on X (formerly Twitter), with fans praising her for the support and also expressing their eagerness to see her back in the limelight.
Joaquin, who is the nephew of Angel’s husband Neil Arce, was introduced alongside a new batch of Star Magic artists, drawing buzz from fans excited to follow his career journey.
Angel’s post comes after a long period of social media quiet, which began after the 2022 presidential elections. She briefly resurfaced online in January 2025 to inform followers that her X account had been hacked, which was later recovered.
