Hayden dela Santa Kho Jr. (born May 20, 1980) is a Filipino aesthetic medicine doctor, media personality, and entrepreneur.

Hayden dela Santa Kho Jr. was born in the Philippines to parents Hayden Kho Sr., a distinguished Chinese doctor, and Irene dela Santa, a Spanish-Filipina businesswoman, on May 20, 1980.

He spent his early years at Grace Christian High School (now Grace Christian College) in Quezon City.

After completing high school, Dr. Kho pursued his education at the University of Santo Tomas, where he earned his bachelor's degree in medical technology in 2001, and then his medical degree in 2005.

He completed his internship at the Makati Medical Center where he also served as president of the interns' association.

He earned his medical license in 2007.

Following the completion of his medical degree, Dr. Kho underwent specialized training in cosmetic medicine at the renowned Belo Medical Group.

Here, he honed his skills in various medical aesthetic procedures, with a particular focus on injectables, lasers, and liposuction.

This foundational training laid the groundwork for his career in cosmetic medicine.

Additionally, he pursued advanced training in anti-aging medicine through the European Anti-Aging Medicine Society, further enhancing his expertise in the field.

Dr. Kho demonstrated entrepreneurial acumen by engaging in diverse business endeavors.

He played a substantial role in business development, overseeing the distribution of ZO Skin Health medical-grade cosmeceuticals in the Philippines and introducing "Hayden Fragrances," a brand of perfumes bearing his name.

In 2007, Kho ventured into Philippine television as an actor, appearing on programs such as Celebrity Duets and taking on supporting roles for GMA Network.

However, his career faced challenges when he became embroiled in a public scandal in 2009.

This controversy involved his participation in a sex scandal that garnered widespread attention and became a subject of national interest.

Kho was brought to a Senate hearing and faced public trial on national television regarding the matter.

The scandal resulted in criminal and civil cases filed against him by one of the involved parties, Filipina actress Katrina Halili, with whom he had partnered in Celebrity Duets.

A pivotal moment in Dr. Kho's life was his conversion to Christianity in 2013 through the Ravi Zacharias International Ministry.

Kho met Christian apologist Ravi Zacharias in an event hosted by the Christ's Commission Fellowship (CCF) in Manila.

Kho became an active member of the group, and later became a devout Christian in June of that year.

Seeking a deeper understanding of the Christian worldview, Kho went to the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics to study Christian apologetics, where he met and was tutored by Christian sociologist and author Os Guinness; scientist, mathematician, and philosopher John Lennox; theologian and author Alister McGrath; and Jay Smith, among others.

Additionally, he extended his entrepreneurial pursuits with the establishment of Venn Intelligent Aesthetics in 2017, a venture focused on marketing and distributing cosmetic medicine and surgery cosmeceuticals, instruments, injectables, and devices.

Furthermore, in 2021, Dr. Kho expanded his business portfolio by making a noteworthy investment in the Swiss-based watch brand, Vanguart.

At the age of 16, Hayden Kho began his career in modeling, participating in runway shows in various international locations, including New York City, Singapore, South Korea, and Japan.

In September 2017, Kho married his long-time partner Dr. Vicki Belo, in Paris.

In 2018, he continued his studies in Christian apologetics.

Currently, Kho holds dual leadership roles as the Managing Director for Belo Medical Group and concurrently as the President of Venn Intelligent Aesthetics.

Kho is a board member for the non-profit RightStart Foundation and supports various other philanthropic causes.
