Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach has officially adopted her husband Jeremy Jauncey’s surname, more than a year after they tied the knot.
She even went Instagram official by changing her handle to @piajauncey.
“We’re the Jaunceys now,” Pia shared in an interview with Preview. “After a while, I started feeling like ‘Pia Wurtzbach’ didn’t feel right anymore.”
She explained that taking on her husband’s last name is part of their plan to have a unified family identity. “One day, when we have kids, I would want them to see that we share the same last name as their dad,” she said.
The beauty queen described the move as “a bit of a traditional move for Jeremy,” but noted, “it doesn’t really bother me.”
