Bianca Regina Lyttle Reyes-Abrenica (born August 3, 1990), professionally known as Sophie Albert, is a Filipino actress and television personality of European (Spanish-Italian and Irish-Portuguese) and Chinese descent.
She joined Star Magic without telling her parents because her mother did not wish for her to enter show business because she was still young and studying.

One of her breakthrough projects after Artista Academy was the 2014 Cinemalaya movie #Y which later on won Special Citation for Ensemble Acting award.
The film is a coming-of-age story that revolves around the lives of upper-class and modern-day youth, which the title reference to Generation Y, while the hashtag marks this generation known for their affinity with social media and technology, and combines this with a tale of teen suicide, sex, drugs, and alcohol, and the ideological lifestyle of YOLO.
In the same year, Albert and her Artista Academy co-finalists Chanel Morales and Stephanie Rowe were supposed to top-bill TV5’s adaptation of the hit American suspense series Pretty Little Liars.
