Personal life

Mika was born in Japan to a Japanese biological father and an Italian-Austrian mother.[4] She used the surname Dela Cruz to be recognized more easily in the entertainment business, having an older sibling with a career in the industry. She also had a stepfather named Ernie (now deceased), who accepted her into the family. She is the younger half-sister of Angelika Dela Cruz.[5] Despite her ethnic background, Mika identifies as Filipino.

She married her long-time partner and co-actor in Goin’ Bulilit, Nash Aguas in 2024.[6] The couple, who were engaged since October 20, 2018, were married at the Adriano's Events Place and Prayer Garden in Tagaytay.[7][8]
