Early life and education
Padilla (born Krista Valle Sullivan) was born to a Filipina mother and a British father who is a banker in an online company from Nottingham, England.[2] She first attended a Montessori education-style international school in Forbes Park, Makati, before attending the foreigners class of Colegio San Agustin – Makati.[3]
Padilla's maternal grandmother is the sister of Eva Cariño-Padilla, wife of actor-director and former Camarines Norte governor Roy Padilla, Sr., making her mother Meg Cariño a niece of Eva.[4] Her uncles are actors Rommel and Robin Padilla and her aunt is transsexual actress BB Gandanghari, all children of Eva Cariño and first cousins of her mother.[5] Her second cousins include Daniel Padilla (son of Rommel) and Kylie Padilla (daughter of Robin).[6]

Career
In 2008, then known by the stage name Krista Valle, she was one of the new talents introduced by ABS-CBN via Star Magic Batch 15. The same year she got her first TV role in the teen drama Star Magic Presents: Abt Ur Luv Ur Lyf 2. She later changed her stage name to Krista Sullivan when she started working as a freelance actress.[2] In 2009, she played a minor role in the TV series Totoy Bato.

In 2010, she left Star Magic, replaced her manager with Claire dela Fuente and moved to GMA-7. Along with the move, she also finally changed her stage name to Bela Padilla. In 2011, Bela was awarded the Miss Friendship and the Media's Darling awards in the Asian Super Model Contest that was held in Guilin and Nanning in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of China, on 6 and 7 September.[8]
In March 2012, she was at the center of a controversy when her FHM Philippines magazine cover was accused of racism and withdrawn.[9] In 2015, Padilla returned to ABS-CBN to star in the teleserye adaptation FPJ's Ang Probinsyano, co-starring Coco Martin, Maja Salvador and Susan Roces.[10]
