Celeste Cortesi shares glimpse of life in new reality docuseries 'Celeste Unscripted'

Celeste Cortesi is giving fans a glimpse into her personal life in the upcoming reality docuseries "Celeste Unscripted.”

In a Facebook post, the show’s official page announced that the eight-episode series will debut on Saturday, August 8, at 10:30 p.m on GTV.

It will also make its global premiere on GMA Life TV on August 15.

Created by Michael Carandang, the docuseries follows the Filipina-Italian beauty queen as she navigates life beyond pageantry, balancing motherhood, entrepreneurship, and her relationship with businessman Jonathan Sterling.

Carrying the tagline "From Beauty Queen to Beauty Mogul," the show will give an unfiltered look at the former beauty queen's journey as she builds her beauty business while preparing for the arrival of her first child.
Celeste said viewers will get to see a side of her that has never been shown in public.

"I think this is the first time that people actually can see the different, not-so-polished sides of me... They actually don't know what's going on in my private life," she said. "This show is really going to let them see relationships, friendship, motherhood, and building a business."

“During my time in Miss Universe, I would always advocate for authenticity and being vulnerable on camera…I think this is the first time that I’m actually letting people see the unedited version of me," she added.

Celeste represented the Philippines at Miss Universe 2022, where she bowed out early from the competition.

In a 2023 episode of "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda," Celeste opened up about coping with the pain of her early exit from the Miss Universe pageant.

In 2024, she launched her beauty brand Asul. It offers several makeup products, including peptide lip balm, lip liners, and blush. It’s available in select Beauty Bar stores.

In April, Celeste announced her pregnancy and a month later, she showed off her baby bump at the Miss Universe Philippines 2026 coronation night.
