She received her first Best Actress award in the 2010 Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival for the film Mayohan in the role of Lilibeth. The same year, she was also a FAMAS Best Actress awardee for the film Sagrada Familia in the role of Kath Asero.
On September 16, 2021, Poe transferred contract to ABS-CBN.

## Early and personal life

Lourdes Virginia Moran Poe was born in St. Luke's Medical Center in Quezon City. She was conceived between Filipino actors Fernando Poe Jr., and Rowena Moran, who was his co-star in Kapag Puno Na ang Salop (1987). Poe was raised by Moran as a single mother. She was publicly acknowledged by her father in 2004 during his presidential campaign. Through her father, she has two older siblings, Senator Grace and DJ Ronian, and through her mother, she has a younger sister, singer Mariel. Poe was also a classmate of Bela Padilla.
Poe finished high school at the Colegio San Agustin in Makati where she graduated in 2007. She then later took courses at the International Academy of Management and Economics and Miriam College.
Poe endorsed her sister Grace in the 2016 Philippine general election and the 2019 Philippine Senate election.
On August 26, 2023, Poe married British movie producer Monty Blencowe at Cliveden House near Berkshire, England. They announced their engagement publicly on August 8, 2023.

## Career

It was in 2006 when Poe was handpicked by an international singing duo named Same Same to perform with them the song "Without You," which is included in the duo's debut album "The Meaning of Happy." She was then first paired with Cogie Domingo in the youth-oriented drama Love to Love. Her biggest acting break came when she played the character of Kristal Maisog in the hit 2006 drama, Bakekang. Her co-star Sunshine Dizon pushed her to join show business as an actress. Her acting performance in Bakekang gained critical praise and was named as Best New Female TV Personality in the 21st PMPC Star Awards for Television. In 2007, Poe was cast in Zaido: Pulis Pangkalawakan (a Philippine spin-off of Shaider) as a newspaper journalist who is a close friend of policeman Alexis Lorenzo (played by Marky Cielo) who turned into the superhero Zaido Green.
In 2008, she played another starring role in the character of Joanna on the afternoon drama, Sine Novela: Kaputol ng Isang Awit, alongside Glaiza de Castro, Marky Cielo and Jolo Revilla.
In 2008, she won the New Movie Actress of the Year award in the 24th PMPC Star Awards for Movies for the film Shake, Rattle and Roll 9. She was also part of the Gabby Concepcion 20-city tour which kicked off on August 17, 2008. Her Bloom solo concert at Music Museum was held on October 16. Bloom is also the title of her second album under SonyBMG. She was also cast in the film Paukay-Ukay by Regal Entertainment. She also co-starred in LaLola (2008) and Ang Babaeng Hinugot sa Aking Tadyang (2009).
Poe appeared in the TV5 youth-oriented drama Lipgloss; GMA Network previously did not allow her to join the series as per network policy stating their contract talents be exclusive to their network. Her manager, Leo Dominguez defended their move saying that "Lovi does not have an existing contract with GMA." Since then, Poe has not appeared in any of GMA Network shows. It was also reported that she entertained offers from GMA's rival network ABS-CBN, until her manager decided to accept GMA's offer to cast Poe in the new sitcom Show Me Da Manny. In 2010, she was a regular host on the GMA Sunday noontime variety show Party Pilipinas. In July 2010, she appeared in the independent film Mayohan for which she won her first acting award, the Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival Award for Best Actress.
After 15 years with GMA Network, Poe moved to ABS-CBN on September 16, 2021. Her first television drama project was the Philippine adaptation of Flower of Evil with Piolo Pascual. She has since launched her own production company C'est Lovi Productions in partnership with Montgomery Blencowe (The Prince, Heist) as executive. In 2023, she received her first screenwriter credit for the Netflix film Seasons, which Carlo Aquino starred as a lead with Poe.
Poe is part of the cast of the finished Hollywood independent film “Bad Man” directed by Michael Diliberti. She was previously cast in “The Chelsea Cowboy" and "My Sister's Bones," both of which are yet to be released.
Poe finished her filmmaking of Regal Entertainment's "Guilty Pleasure," a drama thriller film directed by Connie Macatuno and written by Noreen Capili. She renewed her contract with Gracee Angles' skin care Eevor Skin Care Depot (SCD), as celebrity endorser since 2022.
In her long-distance relationship via FaceTime with Monty, Poe commutes to her three houses (staying in Manila, traveling to Los Angeles for Monty and living in London).
