MANILA – Former beauty queen Maureen Wroblewitz pleasantly surprised her followers on Wednesday when she paid tribute to an unidentified man on social media, seemingly suggesting that they are in a relationship.

Through an Instagram post, Wroblewitz greeted the man a happy birthday before calling him “the one that makes me feel like I’m the luckiest girl in the world.”

“Not only because you are kind, patient, understanding with the most beautiful heart and soul but most importantly, because your gentle love teaches me how I can love myself more every day,” she added.
