The actor also gave fans a glimpse of Rivera tightly hugging their children at home, on his Instagram page today, Dec. 20. He described the scene as “the promised land,” seemingly referencing their recent trip to Israel.
Rivera was part of the all-female selection committee for Miss Universe 2021, alongside Miss Universe 2016 Iris Mittenaere, Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima, Indian actress Urvashi Rautela, American model Lori Harvey and Puerto Rican actress Adamari López.
Beatrice Luigi Gomez, the country’s delegate to the pageant, finished her Miss Universe journey as one of the top 5. Harnaaz Sandhu of India won the Miss Universe title, with Miss Paraguay Nadia Ferreira as first runner-up and Miss South Africa Lalela Mswane as second runner-up. JB
