Lustre started her career with Viva in 2009 as a member of the sing and dance group Pop Girls. Her breakthrough came with the film &quot;Diary ng Panget&quot; in 2014, which launched her reel and real romance with singer-actor James Reid.The &quot;Multimedia Princess&quot; left Viva just as she broke up with Reid, who also left Viva to start his own record label.
