MANILA, Philippines - Filipino-Swiss race car driver Marlon Stockinger has won the heart of Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach. The 27-year-old beauty queen opened up about their relationship for the first time on Monday, January 16, during an interview with ABS-CBN News’ Dyan Castillejo.
The two were photographed spending New Year’s eve at Hawaii triggering speculations that they are more than just friends.
In a live interview with Castillejo, Wurtzbach said: “We are together.”
“I’m glad that I finally met somebody who’s very secure with himself and who understands my job, and who’s not afraid to let me have my moment such as right now, now that the competition is happening here,” Wurtzbach added.
Noting their many similarities, the half-German beauty revealed that she has a lot of things common with the 25-year-old half-Swiss race car driver. Aside from their mixed European and Asian roots, the lovebirds are both Catholics.
Like most women, the Pinay stunner finds Stockinger’s sense of humor as his best trait.
“He’s very funny, like he’d always make me laugh. Hindi pilit ‘yung parang dahil gusto ko siya, natatawa lang ako,” Wurtzbach disclosed.
“He knows a lot of things about me that I probably shouldn’t tell other people, but he’s cool with it,” she added.
Interestingly, her relationship with Stockinger is approved by the people around her, including the Miss Universe Organization. Her manager Esther Swan as well as Miss Universe president Paula Shugart both like Stockinger for Wurtzbach.
Rumors that the two were dating started when Wurtzbach posted a photo of them on her Instagram account last September. Meanwhile, Stockinger confirmed he was seeing Wurtzbach last October, but stressed that they “want to keep it down low.”
