Miss Mexico, 26, beat 74 other contestants, to take the 2021 crown on Sunday, May 16. However, she is already embroiled in controversy.
Miss Universe
2021 winner, Andrea Meza, has been forced to deny she is married after
"wedding pics" emerged that could strip her of the beauty title.
The photos
have been shared across social media and by Mexican publications, sparking
controversy.
'Wedding'
rumours started just hours after Andrea was crowned Miss Universe in Florida on
Sunday night.
A major rule
for the Miss Universe beauty contest is that contestants must be single.
The photos
were shared by Andrea and Jorge Saenz in 2019 alongside romantic captions that
read like wedding vows.
Jorge wrote
in the captions: "I am immensely grateful to God for giving me the
opportunity to meet her at this moment and to cross our path.
"Today a
new stage in our lives begins and I am sure that sharing everything with you
will make me the happiest person in the world."
However,
after Andrea was crowned Miss Universe, the romantic captions were deleted from
the photos.
And Jorge has
now clarified the situation, saying that he is not currently, and never has
been Andrea's husband.
Jorge, a
Mexican model, explained that the pics were part of an advertising campaign, to
highlight and show off the State of Chihuahua.
He said: "People,
my photo with @andreamezamx is just a shooting for @ahchihuahua.
"Please
stop with your messages and threats. That photo is from 2019, and it is not
edited. It was just a joke. Check @achihuahua profile."
Newly-crowned
Miss Universe winner, Andrea Meza, forced to deny she is married after wedding
pics emerged that could strip her of title
In 2019,
divorced mother Veronika Didusenko was stripped of her Miss Ukraine 2018 title.
She was banned from competing at Miss World because she had been married at one
point and had a five-year-old son.
Miss Universe
rules were recently changed to allow divorcees to participate in the pageant.
