Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez has taken to her Instagram account to write an emotional and touching note to her fans about her experience in the Miss Universe pageant.
“After the storm comes the calm. I want to thank each and everyone of you who have sent messages of support and strength,” the 21-year-old Colombian TV host and model wrote. “Every one of you has become an incredible human being in my book and I am the most fortunate and thankful for having the support not only from one country but from the whole entire world. Your destiny is written for you. And my destiny was this.”
“I was able to bring happiness to my country after becoming Miss Universe for only a couple of minutes… Today because of that COLOMBIA and the LATIN COMMUNITY are being talked about in every corner of the world,” Ariadna continued. “I also want to congratulate the Philippines for their new Miss Universe 🙏🏼. The happiness that you must be feeling must be incredible. Life continues and in the future we will find out why things happen the way they happen. Thank you all for your LOVE SUPPORT and KINDNESS. ❤️”
Ariadna also posted the same message in Spanish.
Just two days ago, Ariadna was mistakenly announced as the winner of the Miss Universe pageant, but then minutes later it was revealed that she was actually the runner-up.
