The fourth child of five siblings, Chiu is Chinese-Filipino. She frequently moved residencies as a child, raised mainly in the Philippine Visayas; locating in Tacloban, Cebu,Cagayan de Oro, General Santos City, Mindoro and back to Cebu City.[27] Being multilingual, she can speak Cebuano, Tagalog, English, with some proficiency in Waray,Mandarin Chinese and Hokkien. Due to her family situation and her mother's abandonment when she was nine years old,[28] Chiu mostly grew up with her paternal grandmother and siblings.[29][30] She attended Cebu Cherish School,[31] joined various extracurricular activities and worked as a cashier in her aunt's boutique.[32]
She had never spoke out about her problem to her friends in her youth, until her involvement in reality television which led to the exposure.[33] Chiu had relayed in the past that she had no contact with either of her parents. After five years of estrangement from her father, Kim reconciled with him in 2013 after a visit to his home that he shared with his second partner. She has half-siblings from her father's second relationship.[34]
A month after her meeting with her father, her biological mother, Louella, fell into a lifeless coma, which led Kim to rush to the hospital across the country. Louella succumbed to brain aneurysm a week later and eventually passed away.[35][36] After claims that it was affecting her acting scenes, the actress admitted that everything dealing with her mother was "hard".[37]
In 2009, she began dating long-time co-star Gerald Anderson. Only two years thereafter did they admit their relationship post break-up in 2010, with Anderson professing she was his "first love".[38] In 2012, after months of his courtship, Chiu began dating fellow actor Xian Lim.[39] The couple has spent vacation overseas together including Hawaii, Paris, Canada and London.
During 2013 Chiu joined the PETA campaign Free Mali along with Xian Lim. Chiu made a video plea for Mali (can be viewed on youtube) asking that she be moved to a sanctuary for the sake of her well being.[40]
Chiu enjoys traveling, extreme sports, shopping, and recreational activities like equestrianism.[41]
