LOOK: Celeste Cortesi 'hard launches' non-showbiz boyfriend
Celeste Cortesi just went Instagram official with her boyfriend!
The beauty queen did the hard launch on Sunday, Sept. 29, sharing photos of her Spanish boyfriend, Christian Balic Stefanovic, looking sweet and cozy during their romantic dinner.
“My safe place,” Celeste wrote with a white heart emoji. The post also included a short clip where the two were kissing.
In the comments section, Christian quipped, “Honestly, the guy could have ironed properly the shirt.”
While it is unclear when the two started dating, they had Instagram interactions in August, including Christian’s post on Aug. 5 seemingly “soft launching” Celeste. In the post, he shares a stolen photo of her captured from afar in what appears a resort in Pangasinan.
Another was their flirty exchange in a brand’s post featuring the photo of the beauty queen with Christian saying, “Lips look tasty,” to which Celeste replied with smitten face emojis.
According to his Instagram bio, Christian is a Spanish expat and a PADI rescue diver currently based in the Philippines.
As per his LinkedIn profile, he is currently working as Substructural and Earthworks Manager at Malolos to Clark Railway Project under a Spanish social initiative ACCIONA.org that aims to make energy, water, and infrastructure accessible to poverty-stricken communities around the globe, including the Philippines.
He also worked as a model under the agency, Traffic Models.
