Personal life
Jossette Campo was born and raised in Nasipit, Agusan del Norte. Her father, Robert Ocampo, a retired seafarer, abandoned their family when she was 10. At this early age, she realized she would need to be the breadwinner. She worked so that she could send her siblings to school.[5]
She has four children with husband Arturo N. Atayde, whom she met in 1989, including Arjo and Ria. She also has another daughter from a previous relationship.[6] On March 27, 2004, they got married at the Our Lady of Lourdes Parish Church in Tagaytay.[7]
On March 31, 2020, Sanchez announced that she and her husband Art Atayde had tested positive for the COVID-19 disease,[8] making them one of the first public figures to do so during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines.
Career
Sanchez first started as a sexy actress[clarification needed] before transcending into one of the country's best known actresses.[9] In 1997-1999 she starred in the critically acclaimed primetime soap opera Esperanza as the main anti-heroine. In the 2000s, majority of her work were supporting roles but in 2012–2013, after doing roles for both GMA and ABS-CBN, she would do another antagonist role in Mundo Man ay Magunaw opposite Eula Valdez.
In 2016, she took the role in The Greatest Love as a mother struggling with Alzheimer's, a portrayal that gave her more recognition worldwide. From 2017 to 2018, she starred in Hanggang Saan opposite her son Arjo Atayde.
