Here are five things you need to know
about the new Miss Universe:

9. 2. She was a child star.
Wurtzbach's parents
separated when she was 11
years old, and she became
the breadwinner of the
family, according to the
Inquirer. She signed with
Star Magic Talent and acted
in multiple TV and film
roles under the stage name
Pia Romero.

10. 3. She's also a trained
chef. After finishing her
secondary education, she
studied culinary arts at
the Center for Asian
Culinary Studies in
Metro Manila,
Philippines. She's also a
stylist and writer for the
Inquirer.

11. 4. She may be dating the
Philippine president. Wurtzbach
has been romantically linked to
Philippine President Benigno S.
Aquino III since the spring. But
when asked by the president's
sister, Kris Aquino, on her talk
show "Aquino & Abunda Tonight"
whether she was dating Aquino,
Wurtzbach would only say, "I
know him. I talk to him, yes. He’s
very fun to talk to."

12. 5. She's a pageant
newcomer. Wurtzbach may
have looked like a veteran on
stage, but she did not start
competing in pageants until
2013. In her very first
pageant, Binibining
Pilipinas, she won first
runner-up; the following
year, she lost after stumbling
during the Q&A.
