Singer Juan Karlos Labajo just posted a sweet message congratulating his girlfriend, Dia Maté, after she took home the Reina Hispanoamericana 2025 crown today, February 10!
Dia is only the second Filipino to ever win the Reina Hispanoamericana beauty pageant after Winwyn Marquez in 2017. She had a Top 5 finish in the Miss Tourism competition and also won Best in National Costume for a dazzling piece inspired by the Baroque churches of the Philippines designed by Ehrran Montoya.

The couple hard-launched their relationship to the public on Valentine’s Day 2024 when JK posted a black and white photo of them together with only a red heart emoji in the caption. Most recently, Dia called the singer her “best friend and my greatest love” as she greeted him with a happy birthday. “You deserve the world and more,” she added.
So sweet! You made the country proud, Dia! Congratulations!
