If one were to run a joint Google search on Jeremy Jauncey and Pia Wurtzbach, it would yield a multitude of articles published on news, entertainment, and gossip sites, all fanning rumours of a romantic relationship. Eagle-eyed netizens were determined to put two and two together based on Instagram stories alone; matching Sunday brunch photos in New York City and beach trip snaps in Indonesia fuelled talks of are-they or-aren’t-they. Wurtzbach finds it funny. Jauncey finds it flattering. “That photo taken in Hong Kong with me in the background of a fan shot and the shot of Pia in Indonesia wearing my Ray-Bans with her reflection seen in my stove are all part of our story now,” shares the Beautiful Destinations CEO and Tatler Asia contributing travel editor. “People have been so supportive and so encouraging despite not really knowing the full story, and I’m very grateful for that.”
There goes your confirmation. They are, in fact, an item. Wurtzbach rose to global acclaim when she was named Miss Universe 2015, with the coronation going down as one of the most memorable in beauty pageant history due to presenter Steve Harvey’s mix-up. During her reign, she used her platform to raise awareness on HIV/AIDS testing as well as to champion the rights of the LGBT community. Post-Miss Universe, she went on to become an endorser, television personality, businesswoman, and UNAIDS Goodwill Ambassador for Asia and the Pacific. Some time ago, she opened BesTea, a milk tea shop she co-owns with close friends Pauleen Luna-Sotto and Nina Almoro.
