Atasha Aaron Bonnin Muhlach (Tagalog pronunciation: [ˈmulak]; born November 5, 2001) is a Filipina media personality, television host, and model daughter of the celebrity couple, Aga Muhlach and Charlene Gonzales.[1] She made her first foray into showbusiness through the noontime show, E.A.T. on September 23, 2023.[2] Currently, she is part of the daily noontime show, Eat Bulaga!.[3]

Personal life[edit]

Atasha's father is seasoned actor and the original superstar showbiz heartthrob and actor, Aga Muhlach and former beauty queen, host and actress Charlene Gonzales, both of whom are actors with years of showbiz experience in the bag. Atasha is often viewed as a potential beauty queen by many. She has a twin brother, Andrés Antonio Muhlach, and an older half-brother, Luigi "Iggy Boy" Muhlach, who is Aga's son with Janice de Belen. After graduating high school from the British School Manila, Atasha went on to attend university in Nottingham, where she took up a business-related course.[4]

Atasha attended the prestigious Le Bal des Débutantes in November 2022, an annual event in Paris, France with a select group of 20–25 girls from around the world to raise funds for young women's charities.[5][6]

Months prior to her debut as a host of the noontime show E.A.T., she earned a business degree with honors from Nottingham Trent University in Nottingham, United Kingdom on July 28, 2023. Atasha is a fitness enthusiast and athlete, apart from swimming, marathon, basketball, golf, and having played for the under-18 women's national rugby team, she also does wakeboarding, jet skiing, parasailing, and snorkelling.[7]

Career[edit]

Atasha has appeared on Jollibee commercials since her childhood, featuring her parents and twin brother Andres.[8]

With a showbiz lineage, Atasha entered the industry after completing business school in Nottingham because her parents encouraged her to focus more on her studies. During her contract signing with Viva Artists Agency in July 2023, she disclosed that her aspiration to join the showbiz industry had been a dream since she was a kid.[9]

Atasha was introduced as the newest addition to the set of E.A.T. hosts on its September 23, 2023 episode. Before her introduction and performance, hosts Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon described the young celebrity as a fashionista, studious, performer, artist, and family-oriented.[10]

On October 25, 2023, Atasha released her first single, Pasuyo, under Vicor Music, a record label under Viva Records, which was praised by fans and fellow celebrities for its relatable pop arrangement with well-planned composition by Kyle Raphael and produced by JP Verona.[11]

Atasha has now been part of Eat Bulaga!, the Philippines' longest-running noontime TV program, after TVJ won a trademark dispute against Jalosjos-owned TAPE Inc., allowing them to use the trademark and drop their interim title, E.A.T., on January 6, 2024.[3]

Atasha will be joining her family, Aga Muhlach, Charlene Gonzales, and Andres Muhlach in an upcoming sitcom—their first-ever acting project as a family—as they officially signed a contract on January 26, 2024, to work on a project in collaboration with MediaQuest Ventures, Cignal, TV5, Viva Films, Studio Viva, and Viva Artists Agency.[12]
