It’s more than just a name change…
If you’ve been keeping an eye on your feed lately, you might’ve noticed something subtle but significant: Pia Wurtzbach is now Pia Jauncey on Instagram.
Yes, the Miss Universe 2015, actress, advocate, and all-around Filipina icon is embracing a new chapter, not just in life, but in name.
Romero to Wurtzbach to Jauncey
For a lot of us, Pia will always be the woman who made history in that iconic blue gown, putting the Philippines back on the Miss Universe map. But before all that, she was Pia Romero in showbiz, until she stepped into the pageant world and reclaimed her real surname, Wurtzbach.
Fast forward to today, and we’re meeting Pia Jauncey; wife, soon-to-be mom (hinaot unta!), and a woman who’s proudly settling into the soft, secure version of life she’s worked so hard for.
She made it official not just in interviews, but right on social media, changing her socmed handles and embracing her married name after tying the knot with travel entrepreneur Jeremy Jauncey in 2023. Two years in, it’s clear that this isn’t just about a name, it’s about growth, transition, and peace.
In Honor of No Longer Being Alone
After spending most of her life grinding, supporting her family, chasing dreams, facing the spotlight, she’s now choosing softness. Stability. Wholeness. A home that’s hers, in every sense.
As she put it beautifully, even the crowns and glam can’t compete with the joy of knowing you’re no longer carrying everything on your own.
Pia Jauncey isn’t just a new name, it’s a new season, and frankly, we’re here for it.
