Prominent Filipino actress Jaclyn Jose passed away on March 2, 2024, at the age of 59 in Manila, Philippines. Her talent agency PPL Entertainment Inc. first shared the news of her demise on Facebook, as reported by The Rappler.

The post also requested the public to “pray for the eternal repose of Miss Jaclyn Jose” and allow her family “respect and privacy to mourn her passing and navigate these difficult times.”

According to People Pill, Jaclyn Jose and the late actor Mark Gil (who died in 2014 from liver cirrhosis as per Pep) were in a relationship from 1988 to 1991. They had a daughter named Andi Eigenmann, who is of Kapampangan, Swiss-German, Filipino, and American origin.

Andi shares a daughter Ellie with her former boyfriend Jake Ejercito and infants Lilo and Koa with her fiancé Philmar Alipayo. According to Kami, in November 2022, the late actress alleged that her daughter and her fiancé did not wish her on her birthday, sparking rumors of a rift between the mother-daughter duo.
