Miss Universe Philippines Celeste Cortesi has received a tribute from her boyfriend, Philippine Azkals player Mathew Custodio, after she was crowned in the national pageant.

The football player called Cortesi “my queen,” as he expressed how proud he is of her via his Instagram page last Tuesday, May 3. He also showed the beauty queen’s crowning moment last April 30.

“We’ve seen her grow, we’ve seen her inspire the people she meets not just by words [and] actions, but by simply carrying her values, her upbringing,” he added.
