As much as possible, Ruby Rodriguez remained pretty private when it comes to her personal life but in 2015, her eldest child, Toni Aquino, entered showbiz.
According to the longtime 'Eat Bulaga' Dabarkad, she first turned down offers for Toni to star in some projects because her daughter was focused on her studies at that time.
After graduating from high school, Toni has finally convinced her mom to let her join showbiz after she promised to finish college.
Toni became part of 'TROPS,' TAPE, Inc.'s morning show that aired before 'Eat Bulaga.'
She has also fulfilled her promise of finishing her college degree in UP Manila with a degree in Social Science in September 2020.
After her showbiz career, Toni is now based in the United States where she currently works.
