In 2003, she was devastated when her boyfriend, actor Miko Sotto, fell off from the 9th floor of his condominium in December 2003.

Many feminist groups, as well as former Senator Nikki Coseteng, complained about the offensive gestures in the advertisement.In the television commercial, Angel is teasing a man by showing off money and her body but the man approaches Angel and takes only her money. Because of these complaints, Unilever pulled out the commercial.

Locsín also dated Oyo Boy Sotto (born Vittorio Mari Sotto), son of actor Vic Sotto and actress Dina Bonnevie and cousin of her late boyfriend Miko Sotto.
