Personal life
[edit]Chariz is the eldest of four children born to an Irish-Filipino soldier and a Filipina entertainer based in Japan. Her parents separated when she was four years old. She later enrolled at the University of Santo Tomas to pursue a degree in Tourism but did not complete her studies. Following her departure from college, she attempted to work as an entertainer in Japan, following in her mother’s footsteps; however, her visa application was denied. As the academic year had already commenced, she was unable to re-enroll at the time.[2]
She is the sister of Filipino television personalities Fifth Solomon and Fourth Solomon.[3]
She was previously married to Nestor Ng in 2013; the couple separated in 2018. An annulment was filed in 2019, but proceedings were delayed for six years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They have two children, Apollo and Ali. In 2023, she became engaged to her non-showbiz partner, Vince Teotico. They have one child together, Andreas.[4]

Although she did not advance to the Final 14,[5] she subsequently appeared in various television programs produced by GMA Network, most notably in JejeMom (2010), for which she received the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Gag or Comedy Program award at the 2011 ENPRESS Golden Screen TV Awards.[1] She is also recognized as a recurring cast member on the long-running sketch comedy show Bubble Gang since 2012, and for her role as Janice in the sitcom Pepito Manaloto, which she has portrayed since 2013.
