Early life and education
Upbringing in Dasmariñas
Arny Ross was born Arny Ross Roque on July 19, 1991, in Dasmariñas, Cavite, Philippines.[11][12] As a child and teenager, Ross showed an early inclination toward performance through participation in local beauty pageants, including being crowned Binibining Dasmariñas, Miss Cavite Global 2008 at the age of 17, and grand winner of the Circle of 10 Image Model Search in 2009. These experiences provided her first exposure to modeling and public performance.[13]Academic background
Arny Ross completed her primary and secondary education at local schools in Dasmariñas, Cavite.[11] She later enrolled at De La Salle University–Dasmariñas, where she pursued a Bachelor of Arts in Communication.[14] During her university tenure in the late 2000s and early 2010s, Ross actively participated in extracurricular activities, notably joining the university's dance troupe La Salle Pointes N' Flexes, which helped nurture her passion for dance while she managed her academic commitments.[15] Ross graduated with her degree in the early 2010s, aligning closely with the start of her professional entertainment career following her participation in the 2012 talent search Protégé: The Battle for the Big Artista Break.[16]Career
Breakthrough in Protégé
Arny Ross gained initial prominence in the Philippine entertainment industry by participating in the second season of GMA Network's reality talent competition Protégé: The Battle For The Big Artista Break, which premiered on July 23, 2012. Representing Southern Luzon as a 21-year-old from Dasmariñas, Cavite, she competed under the mentorship of actress Gina Alajar and later Phillip Salvador and stood out among the contestants for her exceptional dancing skills, earning her the affectionate moniker "Protégé Dance Darling."[2][17] Ross advanced through the early rounds, reaching the Top 10 as one of the program's finalists, where she delivered memorable performances that highlighted her versatility in acting and dance. A notable example was her routine in the "Aftershock" episode, where she acted in a skit titled "Girlfriend" alongside fellow contestant Ruru Madrid before transitioning into a captivating dance to Adele's "Turning Tables."[18] Despite being the first eliminated from the Top 10 on September 16, 2012, her strong showings captured audience attention and paved the way for her professional breakthrough.[2] Following the competition, Ross signed an exclusive contract with GMA Network, marking the launch of her career as a contract artist and opening doors to subsequent television opportunities.[16]Television and comedy work
Following her success in the 2012 GMA Network reality competition Protégé: The Battle For The Big Artista Break, Arny Ross secured a contract with the network and debuted as a regular cast member on the long-running comedy sketch series Bubble Gang in 2013.[19] There, she contributed to comedic sketches and served as a performer in the show's dance ensemble, the Bubble Shakers, which featured high-energy routines between segments.[20] Ross remained a key fixture on Bubble Gang through its 28th season, showcasing her skills as a dancer and comedian until stepping back in 2022 amid her pregnancy.[21] Ross's television career evolved from these lighthearted ensemble roles into more diverse acting opportunities across GMA's programming slate. In 2023, she took on the dramatic role of Bea Almazan, the former mistress in a central family conflict, in the hit primetime series Abot-Kamay na Pangarap.[22] That same year, she appeared in the true-crime anthology Pinoy Crime Stories, portraying characters Ivy and Sally in episodes depicting real-life criminal cases.[23] By 2024, she returned to comedy with a recurring guest role as Jane in the family sitcom Pepito Manaloto: Tuloy ang Kuwento.[24] Her versatility continued in guest spots, including a 2024 appearance as a contestant on the game show Family Feud Philippines alongside fellow former Bubble Gang alumni.[25] In 2025, Ross made a nostalgic return to Bubble Gang for its 30th anniversary specials, BG30: Batang Bubble Ako, participating in celebratory segments that highlighted her enduring ties to the show's comedic legacy.[26]Film roles
Arny Ross entered Philippine cinema with a supporting role as MJ in the 2019 action thriller KontrAdiksyon, directed by Njel de Mesa.[27] The film, which addresses socio-political themes surrounding addiction and corruption, features an ensemble cast including Jake Cuenca, Kris Bernal, and Katrina Halili, where Ross's character contributes to the narrative's exploration of moral contradictions.[28] Her performance in this genre marked an extension of her dramatic capabilities beyond television, though specific critical reviews of her individual role remain limited in available sources. No additional feature film appearances by Ross have been documented as of November 2025, indicating a primary focus on her television and entrepreneurial pursuits.Personal life
Marriage to Franklin Banogon
Arny Ross met Franklin "Frank" Banogon during their college years at De La Salle University-Dasmariñas, where he was a member of the university's band and they connected through shared social circles in the campus community. Their relationship began around 2008 and lasted 13 years before they decided to formalize their commitment, with Ross later describing Banogon as sentimental, kind, and deeply valuing family and friends.[14][29] The couple announced their engagement on November 19, 2019, following a surprise proposal by Banogon during Ross's performance at the annual Dance Series concert of Lasallian Pointes 'n Motion, her college dance group. They exchanged vows on November 9, 2021, in an intimate ceremony at Club Ananda in Tagaytay, reflecting their preference for a low-key, personal celebration as a millennial couple surrounded by close family and friends. Ross wore a custom bridal gown by designer Mikee Andrei, emphasizing elegance and simplicity in line with their shared aesthetic.[30][31][29][32][3] Their partnership has been strengthened by mutual values in faith, family, and entrepreneurship, with Ross highlighting Banogon's strong belief in God and commitment to loved ones as key influences on their enduring bond. As an entrepreneur and photographer, Banogon has provided consistent support to Ross amid her stable career in entertainment, allowing them to prioritize personal milestones. The couple has openly shared relationship updates and joyful moments on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok, including anniversary celebrations and everyday affections, continuing this practice into 2025 to inspire their followers.[14][3]Family and motherhood
Arny Ross welcomed her first child, son Jordan Franco Banogon, on July 27, 2022, via cesarean section.[33] As a first-time mother, Ross has openly shared the joys and challenges of parenthood, emphasizing the rewarding yet demanding aspects of nurturing her infant. She described exclusive breastfeeding as a significant milestone, continuing it successfully for seven months despite initial difficulties like pain and tears, which she credited to perseverance and support.[34][35] Ross also highlighted the logistics of traveling with a breastfed baby, such as during a family trip to Venice, Italy, where she balanced feeding needs amid new environments, noting both the convenience of not needing bottles and the added stress on mother and child.[36] Ross frequently documents family routines on social media, showcasing everyday moments that reflect her priorities as a parent. These include simple daily activities like morning wake-ups and playtime, as well as special occasions such as Jordan's first birthday in 2023, celebrated with a jungle-themed safari party featuring animal decorations and family gatherings.[37] She has shared heartfelt birthday tributes to her son, expressing profound love and commitment, such as in a 2024 post where she wrote about doing everything for him and cherishing his simple joys like blowing out a candle.[33] Motherhood prompted a temporary slowdown in Ross's professional commitments following Jordan's birth, allowing her to focus on family during the early months. She returned to acting in early 2023, joining the GMA series Abot-Kamay na Pangarap as Bea Almazan just a few months postpartum, marking her re-entry into television work while balancing parental responsibilities.[22] By 2024 and into 2025, Ross continued selective projects, including appearances in Pinoy Crime Stories, demonstrating a sustained work-life balance shaped by her role as a mother.Other ventures

The studio's services extended to a diverse client base, including celebrities like Ross herself for promotional and personal shoots, as well as local events such as corporate anniversaries and parties up to 2025.[51] This growth underscored the business's role in sustaining their entrepreneurial portfolio beyond entertainment.[48]Awards and recognitions
