Pia Wurtzbach and 'Beautiful Destinations' founder Jeremy Jauncey confirm relationship

Pia Wurtzbach and Jeremy Jauncey confirmed their relationship in Philippine Tatler they graced the June cover of the luxury magazine.

Philippine Tatler proudly shared its cover on social media Monday. Pia and Jeremy's cover spread was shot by America's Next Top Model judge Nigel Barker no less.

In their cover feature, the Beautiful Destinations founder said the Miss Universe 2015 queen "blew [him] away the first time they met in London."

Pia agreed that there was "definitely an immediate spark."

"We couldn't stop talking. I found him to be such a warm person and I like that he was always smiling," Pia continued.

 

 

According to Jeremy, Pia sets the parameters in their relationship, which he happily accepts.

"It was a chance to show that I was serious about her and that I want to be a gentleman about it, which was very important to me," he said.

The couple said they wanted to make sure they have built a good foundation before making their relationship public.

"I've always felt a close connection to the Filipinos because they've always been kind to me," Jeremy shared.

"So to all detectives out there, thank you! We knew how much we liked each other, but we wanted to spend quality time with each other and build something strong before we made any official announcements," he continued.

Pia said she didn't want to make the same mistake by announcing a relationship too soon.

"We wanted to make sure we set a good foundation for our relationship before we came out in the open. I've made a mistake of sharing too much too soon before, and I wanted to make sure I did it right this time."

Without naming her partner, Pia in March opened up about a relationship in an interview with MEGA Magazine. 

"I can be my full self. I can be my full Pia, 100% empowered Pia, fight mode all the time; I can be the alpha that I am, all the time. I don’t have to filter myself for anyone anymore," she told MEGA Magazine back then.

Netizens have been speculating that the two are in a relationship after several fans noticed similarities in their social media posts and photos. 

Jeremy is the CEO of travel agency Beautiful Destinations and a travel editor-at-large for Asia's Tatler. He also modelled for local clothing brand Bench.

Last December, Pia's business manager Rikka Infantado-Fernandez confirmed that the beauty queen and Marlon Stockinger had broken up in September 2019. — Jannielyn Ann Bigtas/LA, GMA News
