Former child star and actress Isabelle de Leon has officially decided to start a new chapter in her life—permanently settling in the United States. The 29-year-old actress announced the big move via her Instagram, where she also shared details of a massive personal clearance sale as she prepares to leave the Philippines behind.
“Moving to the USA for good,” Isabelle wrote in her post, revealing she’s selling off her wardrobe and accessories, some of which were featured in her past TV dramas and movies. From clothes in sizes small to extra small, to bags, shoes, and even never-worn items with tags still on, everything must go.
She offered enticing deals, writing: “1K for 10 pieces of clothes! If you buy worth 3K (that’s 30 pieces), you’ll get a bonus worth 1K (an additional 10 pieces—clothes, shoes, and bags).”
But she made it clear: only serious buyers are welcome. “Please DM or comment if you’re interested,” she said, adding in jest, “Serious buyers only, I don’t have time to reply to people who aren’t buying. Shunget!” followed by a laughing emoji.
Isabelle also admitted she’s uncertain when she’ll return to the Philippines, saying, “I’m not sure when I’ll be back.”
Fans flooded her comments with mixed emotions—many expressing sadness over her departure, while others voiced their support, wishing her happiness and fulfillment in her new life abroad. One commenter even warned her about the current political climate in the U.S., especially under the shadow of the Trump administration’s stricter immigration policies.
“Congrats on the move! But if you can delay it until 2026, I would advise that, considering what’s going on now,” the concerned netizen said, citing growing fears among immigrants due to controversial U.S. policy shifts—such as aggressive deportation raids, reduced legal aid access, and the revocation of long-standing immigration protections.
Despite the concern, Isabelle responded calmly, revealing she’s already been living in the U.S. for years. “It is chaotic right now, but too late—I’ve been here for four years now,” she replied.
As she prepares to let go of her life in the Philippines, Isabelle de Leon embraces the unknown with courage—packing memories, dreams, and a fresh sense of freedom as she steps into a new life across the Pacific.
