'I REALLY LOVE HER BUT...'

Miss Universe Iris Mittenaere addresses girlfriend rumors


Miss Universe 2016 Iris Mittenaere has set the record straight about her supposed lesbian relationship.

In a report by GMA News' Balita Pilipinas on Wednesday, the French beauty queen addressed the lesbian rumors sparked by photos with pageant sister Camille Cerf. Several online publications fanned speculation that Mittenaere might be the first openly gay Miss Universe titlist.

 

 

 

"Camille is my best friend and I love my boyfriend Matthieu," she told GMA News. "I really love her, but I am not with her. She is not my girlfriend."

Although they were not photographed in public together, Mittenaere's boyfriend Matthieu Declercq was watching and cheering for her during the grand coronation night at the Mall of Asia Arena on January 30.

 

 

Like Mittenaere, Declerq is also in dentistry.

Mittenaere, 24, is the second French beauty queen to become Miss Universe. She ended a 64-year drought for France by bringing home the crown. She is currently doing the media week with the Miss Universe Organization. —Aya Tantiangco/JST, GMA News
