I think we have a lot of things in common,” she said.</p><p>When asked about Stockinger’s best trait, Wurtzbach replied: “He’s very funny, like he’d always make me laugh. Hindi pilit ‘yung parang dahil gusto ko siya, natatawa lang ako.”</p><p>“He knows a lot of things about me that I probably shouldn’t tell other people, but he’s cool with it,” she added. </p><p>Wurtzbach also happily shared that her relationship with Stockinger is approved by the people important to her, including the Miss Universe Organization.</p><p>“Esther (Swan, her manager) approves, that’s the number one thing,” she said. “Paula (Shugart, Miss Universe president) likes him, Esther likes him, the Miss Universe Organization likes him. That’s a huge relief on my part because, whew, I don’t have to worry.”</p><p>It was in October last year when Stockinger admitted that he and Wurtzbach are seeing each other, but the race car driver maintained that they “want to keep it down low.”</p><p>The two have long been close to each other, even before Wurtzbach won the Miss Universe crown.</p>
