Pia recently flew to London to reunite with her boyfriend. They have since been sharing updates about their life through social media.

Last June 2020, the former Miss Universe confirmed that she was in a relationship with Scottish entrepreneur and former rugby player Jeremy Jauncey. He is currently the CEO of Beautiful Destinations, a creative agency handling travel brands.

Beautiful Destinations rose to fame via popular social media channels, most notably Instagram. Some years ago, there were invitations for travelers to join Beautiful Destinations as it explores the wonderful sights all over the world.

The lovebirds described the "immediate spark" before they made their relationship official. Since then, they had been on a long-distance relationship because of the coronavirus travel restrictions.

Keeping their relationship to themselves

Before they went public with their relationship, Jauncey and Wurtzbach kept their relationship to themselves because they wanted to enjoy each other's company before making any official announcement. It's sort of making sure that their relationship has a good foundation before being scrutinized by the public eye.

The two met in London when Jeremy approached Pia and talked about how much he loved the Philippines. There was an immediate spark but they did not want to rush things because Pia just recently came out of a long-term relationship. She used to date Filipino-German race car driver Marlon Stockinger.

After months of courtship, Pia and Jeremy finally became a couple. Despite the coronavirus travel ban that gave them no choice but to be in a long-distance relationship, they coped via regular video calls. Their passion for travel and humanitarian work also kept them preoccupied.

Pia was able to finally fly to London last July after the COVID-19 travel ban eased.
