Estrada was born on November 21, 1974, in Tacloban City to a Filipino mother and an American father. Shortly thereafter, her father left after being misinformed that Karla had died at birth.[4]
According to an episode in Maalaala Mo Kaya featuring accounts on her life, Estrada was born to a rich family but was forced to move to Tacloban after the death of her grandfather, who was responsible for most of the livelihood of the family. Estrada aspired to become an actress since childhood and joined singing competitions. She was discovered by a talent manager in Quezon City, which led to her appearance in That's Entertainment.[5]
Estrada is the mother of Daniel Padilla whom she had at the age of 20; her son's father is, Rommel Padilla. Estrada brought Daniel to see Rommel Padilla in prison three years later. She had three children, Jose Carlito whom she had at the age of 21 with Naldy Padilla, Margaret and Carmella from different father.[6]
