The iconic and legendary singer turns 56 on Wednesday, Apr. 22, 2026.

Regine Velasquez is celebrating her 56th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed singers of her generation.

Popular singer-actress Regine Velasquez (I'll Never Love This Way Again, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 56th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Velasquez, a cultural icon

Born Regina Encarnacion Ansong Velasquez in Tondo on April 22, 1970, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Filipino history. Velasquez's not just a great singer, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little Regine hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Regine Velasquez as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 56.

Happy Birthday, Regine, you're the best!
