Celeste Cortesi proudly flaunted her growing baby bump on the very stage where she was crowned Miss Universe Philippines 2022.

During the grand coronation night of Miss Universe Philippines 2026, Celeste took the stage alongside fellow beauty queen Katrina Llegado to introduce the non-government organizations partnered with this year’s pageant.

While hosting, the expectant mom gently cradled her tummy, drawing attention to her baby bump.

On Instagram, Celeste shared a closer look at her growing tummy and said, “Baby bump’s first appearance had to be Miss Universe Philippines.”

Celeste earlier announced that she is expecting a baby boy, following the reveal of her pregnancy in April.

Meanwhile, La Union’s Bea Windorski was crowned Miss Universe Philippines 2026.

She is set to represent the Philippines in the Miss Universe 2026 pageant in November in Puerto Rico.
