Mikael Daez
During interviews, Megan revealed that Mikael played a pivotal role in encouraging her to participate in Miss World back in 2013. Despite being an established actress at the time, the decision was seen by the beauty queen as a significant risk. She also recounted how Mikael was among the first individuals she reached out to right after securing the first ever Miss World crown for the Philippines. Their journey didn’t end there; the actor stood by her side throughout her reign, and their bond eventually blossomed into marriage. Today, the couple continues to captivate and inspire, from Mikael supporting Megan’s K-Pop craze to both sharing their experiences on their podcast, Behind Relationship Goals, available on Spotify and YouTube.
Jason Abalos
In the pages of Vickie Rushton’s pageant history, there were hurdles, especially when she made three attempts at Binibining Pilipinas. On her third try, the pandemic struck, leading her to withdraw from the competition. Amidst these challenges, actor and Nueva Ecija board member Jason Abalos proved to be a consistent pillar for the beauty queen. Jason not only encouraged Vickie to persevere, but also stood up for her against critics during her pageant journey. Fast forward to the present, the two are now happily married, celebrating the arrival of their first child.
Migz Villafuerte
In an interview with Boy Abunda six years ago, Miss Universe Philippines 2017 Rachel Peters delved into her relationship with Congressman Migz Villafuerte. Rachel expressed gratitude for Migz’s support during her pageant endeavors, noting that he even assisted her in honing her question and answer skills through practice sessions. Managing the demanding schedules of pageantry and politics, the former beauty queen explained that they find balance by simply making time to support each other. This reciprocity was evident as she assisted Migz during his campaign, and he, in turn, supported her during her pageant ventures. Proving that love conquers all, Migz and Rachel have since tied the knot and joyfully welcomed two children into their lives.
Lloyd Lee
Shamcey Supsup and Lloyd Lee’s love story unfolds as a remarkable example of destiny in action. Their paths crossed at the beauty queen’s 25th birthday and victory celebration in May 2011, where Lloyd accompanied his cousin, a Binibining Pilipinas candidate who competed alongside Shamcey. Adding a touch of fate, Supsup shared in an interview that her birthday wish that night was to find a boyfriend. After their initial meeting, a string of phone calls and dates ensued, leading Shamcey to eventually say yes a month later. In September 2011, she graced the Miss Universe stage, securing the 3rd runner-up position. Two years following their fateful encounter, the couple decided to embark on the journey of marriage. A decade later, Shamcey, now at the helm as the National Director of Miss Universe Philippines, and Lloyd, carving a successful path in the business landscape with various ventures, continue to flourish in their individual pursuits.
