Miss Universe 2010 fourth runner-up Venus Raj has recently taken to Instagram to share her joyous news: she’s about to marry her non-showbiz boyfriend. The announcement, made in an enthusiastic post, comes with a series of photos featuring the former beauty queen and her soon-to-be husband, whose identity remains undisclosed.
In her heartfelt post, Raj expressed her excitement and devotion, stating, “In a few days, I will be spending the rest of my life with this man of God that my Father has brought me to.” She emphasized the spiritual aspect of their union, hoping that together they would fulfill God’s purpose for their relationship and honor Him in their lives.
The beauty queen also reflected on her journey of being single for eight years before meeting her partner, describing it as a path of grace, joy, learning, and victories, all under God’s guidance. She offered encouraging words to her followers, especially those praying for marriage, reminding them to trust in God’s timing and process.
Raj’s announcement was met with an outpouring of love and congratulations from fans and fellow beauty queens. Notable figures such as Miss Supranational 2023 first runner-up Pauline Amelinckx, Miss Universe 2013 third runner-up Ariella Arida, and Miss Universe Philippines 2014 MJ Lastimosa were among those who shared their joy for Raj’s upcoming marriage.
Venus Raj is celebrated for her significant contribution to the Philippines’ impressive track record in the Miss Universe pageant. Her success in 2010 as the fourth runner-up marked the beginning of a remarkable semi-final streak for the country, highlighted by the victories of Pia Wurtzbach in 2015 and Catriona Gray in 2018. This legacy continued with Michelle Dee’s Top 10 finish this year, keeping the Philippines prominently on the global beauty pageant map.
