TWO weeks before she gives up her crown, reigning Miss Universe Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach admitted she is in a relationship with Filipino-Swiss F1 driver Marlon Stockinger.
“We are together,” said Wurtzbach in an interview on ABS-CBN recently.
The Filipino-German beauty queen is in town to crown her successor at the Miss Universe 2016 beauty contest at the SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City on Jan. 30 at 8 a.m.
“I’m glad that I finally met somebody who’s very secure with himself and who understands my job, and who’s not afraid to let me have my moment such as right now, now that the competition is happening here,” said Wurtzbach. “He’s very understanding and we really get along.”
Stockinger and Wurtzbach have been constant dates since they met in New York last September.
Both personalities greeted New Year as they spent the holidays in Hawaii.
Wurtzbach, 27, posted two photos of her trip to Hawaii with Stockinger on Instagram.
In December, they were seen dating at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.
But the two celebrities then said that they were just close friends.
Stockinger, 25, is the first Filipino to win a formula race in Europe.
Now based in Zurich, Switzerland, Stockinger currently drives for Lotus F1 Team Juniors in the 2013 World Series by Renault.
Wurtzbach was earlier linked to Mikhail Vashavski, dubbed “Sexiest Doctor Alive” on social media.
