Gray explained that her parents are safe in their home in Australia while she is staying in Manila during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. While they are miles apart, her mother sent over the sepia-toned photos of them.
“It’s my first time seeing them,” the Miss Universe 2018 winner said. “My mama is so beautiful.”
Gray has always been proud of her close relationship with her parents. When she was named Miss Universe in 2018, she quickly expressed her gratitude for their support.
