When Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray and Anne Jakrajutatip took the stage together for the first time, the audience erupted with applause and cheers inside Bangkok’s Paragon Complex’s Siam Pavalai Royal Grand Theater.

Anne is the new owner of the Miss Universe Organization, a Thai transgender billionaire.

Catriona and Anne’s meeting drew a lot of attention because almost everyone knew they were both in relationships with Filipino-German model-actor Clint Bondad.

Clint was Catriona’s boyfriend when she won the 67th Miss Universe pageant on December 17, 2018 in Bangkok.

However, the actor confirmed their divorce in March 2018.

Clint has been living in Anne’s house in Thailand for nine months, as she revealed in July 2020.

They only consider each other brothers, according to him, but many people believe their relationship is more than that.

Catriona was one of the Miss Universe winners invited to the Miss Universe Extravaganza, which was one of Anne’s first projects as the Miss Universe Organization’s new owner.

Miss Universe 2021 Harnaaz Sandhu, Miss Universe 2020 Andrea Meza, Miss Universe 2011 Leila Lopes, and Miss Universe 2005 Natalie Glebova were also in attendance on Monday, November 11.

Natalie, like Catriona, was crowned Miss Universe on May 31, 2005, at Bangkok’s Impact Arena.

There were no lip readers or body language experts at the Miss Universe Extravaganza, unlike the harsh members of the media in the United Kingdom, so those interested in the issue and intrigue will want to know what Anne said to Catriona when they hugged and gave the award. They hugged each other.

When Catriona was given the opportunity to speak on stage, she spoke about the kindness shown to her by the Thai people even before she was crowned Miss Universe.

As he put it, “It goes without any explanation that this country has a very, very, very special place in my heart but something that’s so poignant about the kindness of the Thai people is that when I was younger, I was around 19 years old, I actually lived in Bangkok for three or four months.

“And that same kindness, that same courteousness that I was shown back when, you could say I was a nobody, was still shown to me…”
