Pia Wurtzbach, Tita of the Universe

Published June 17, 2016 3:09pm

In the ongoing quest to reclaim "Tita" and turn it into something fabulous, Miss Universe 2015 submits video evidence on Friday that there's more to being an aunt than a well-stocked (faux) Birkin bag and an abanico.

Wurtzbach, performing her duties as a confidently beautiful queen in New York, shared a video of her niece Lara, whom she misses terribly. Proud Tita Pia can be heard singing a nursery rhyme, which she said she sang for a younger Lara to keep her from crying.

Sarah my sister sent me this. I miss my little #LaraLove ?? fun fact: I taught her this song and sang it to her so she would stop crying when she was younger. Now she's a pro! ???? #proudauntie ??

But there's more, of course. Wurtzbach earlier shared a video with Kokomi, the daughter of makeup artist Yuko Takahashi. Despite the language barrier, Kokomi fondly pokes Wurtzbach's face...before being distracted by other babies.

Takahashi also uploaded a photo of the pair, saying, "Good running into you, Pia!! So sweet that you took really good time to play with my baby!!!"

Look who I bumped into! Little Kokomi!!!?? @yukoonthego I wish she could be Lara's playmate. But I think Kokomi only understands Nihongo ???? I tell her "Pia" and she points to me camera cos we have it on selfie mode! #smartbaby
