After Miss Universe 2022’s coronation, Celeste Cortesi posted a statement about “Happiness”

International pageant publications even included the 25-year-old beauty queen, among competitors from Mexico, Colombia, and Indonesia, among the top 10 candidates.

The Miss Universe Philippines organization and her fellow beauty queens continued to support Celeste Cortesi. The Miss Universe queens Pia Wurtzbach and Catriona Gray sent a heartwarming message to the Filipina beauty queen just after the MU competition, and it was published in a previous post.

After sharing a statement on social media about her “heartbreaking loss” in the contest and her journey toward self-recovery, Celeste Cortesi looked to have moved on from her failure to win the Miss Universe 2022 crown.

For the first time since coronation night, the Filipino beauty shared a quotation from Canadian author Bianca Sparacino on Instagram about discovering happiness inside oneself.

Happiness, according to the quotation, “never about your job or your degree or being in a relationship.”
