María Carmina Muñiz Villarroel-Legaspi (Tagalog: [kaɾˈminɐ biʎɐˈɾɔɛl lɛˈgaspɪ]; born August 17, 1975) is a Filipino actress, television presenter, and product endorser. In 2022, she portrays the role of Lyneth Santos in the medical drama, Abot-Kamay na Pangarap.

Personal life

Villarroel was previously married to Rustom Padilla in 1994; the two had no children, and Villarroel filed for annulment several years after, which was granted in 2002.

Villarroel married her partner Zoren Legaspi on November 15, 2012; the couple had twins on January 6, 2001, in the United States. Legaspi planned a surprise proposal and civil wedding with the help of their families and the network. The ceremony was later aired the following Saturday as the television special Zoren-Carmina: Always Forever, A Wedding Like No Other. The idea of a surprise proposal followed by a flashmob-style instant wedding was inspired by a remarkably similar episode of the U.S. television programme Mobbed, hosted by Howie Mandel.
