Miss Universe Philippines 2021 Bea Luigi Gomez has officially tied the knot with DJ and music producer John Odin, in a stunning and intimate ceremony held at a beachfront resort in La Union on October 8, 2025.
Photos and short video clips shared by John on his Instagram Stories gave fans a glimpse of the romantic event. Though the newlyweds have yet to release official details, their posts and tagged stories from friends revealed a sunset ceremony surrounded by family, close friends, and the sound of crashing waves.
Bea, known for her elegance and confidence, looked radiant in a minimalist white gown that perfectly captured her signature mix of strength and grace. John, dressed in a beige suit with a crisp white shirt, complemented the bride’s effortless style. Guests described the ceremony as “simple yet deeply emotional,” reflecting the couple’s grounded personalities.
The event was held at a private resort along the shores of San Juan, La Union—one of the couple’s favorite getaways. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the two exchanged heartfelt vows, promising to support each other through love, art, and the ever-evolving rhythm of life—just as they had promised themselves since their relationship began three years ago.
A Love Story Written in Music and Destiny
The love story between Bea and John first caught public attention on February 15, 2022, when Bea shared photos from their Valentine’s Day celebration on her Instagram Stories. The couple enjoyed a romantic dinner date at The Peak in Grand Hyatt Manila. Shortly after, John reposted the photos on his own social media, confirming what fans had begun to suspect: that the beauty queen had found new love.
At the time, Bea was still in the public eye following her historic win as Miss Universe Philippines 2021, where she represented Cebu City and made waves for being the first openly queer candidate to win the crown. When asked about her relationship and sexuality, Bea confidently stated that she identifies as pansexual—someone attracted to individuals regardless of gender.
Her openness inspired many in the LGBTQIA+ community, especially when she explained that love, for her, has always been about connection and character rather than gender or identity. “Love is love,” Bea once said during an interview. “It’s about seeing the person for who they are and who they make you become.”
Before her relationship with John Odin, Bea was in a six-year same-sex relationship with DJ and entrepreneur Kate Jagdon. Their breakup in late 2021 attracted public attention, with rumors and accusations of infidelity circulating on social media. Bea later confirmed in an interview that the relationship ended after a period of emotional distance and misunderstandings, choosing to focus on her growth, career, and peace of mind.
Finding Harmony in Love
Bea and John’s connection came naturally. Both are creative souls immersed in the world of art and music—Bea as a public figure and advocate, John as a respected DJ and producer in the Manila nightlife scene. According to mutual friends, their paths crossed at a charity music event in early 2022. Bea was invited as a guest, while John was performing that night.
“They just clicked instantly,” one friend revealed. “They talked for hours about music, mental health, and life goals. It wasn’t about fame or image—it was about understanding each other’s vibe.”
Over the years, their relationship blossomed quietly. They were occasionally spotted at music festivals, art shows, and beach getaways, but the couple preferred to keep their romance low-key. “They’re both very grounded,” another friend shared. “They enjoy privacy. What people see online is just a glimpse of how strong their bond really is.”
From Pageantry to Partnership
After her reign as Miss Universe Philippines, Bea focused on social advocacy, mental health awareness, and humanitarian work. She also dabbled in acting and modeling while supporting John’s music ventures. The couple often collaborated behind the scenes, producing events that blended art, music, and social impact.
Their engagement reportedly happened in early 2025 during a private trip to Kyoto, Japan. According to a close source, John proposed under a canopy of cherry blossoms with a custom-designed ring symbolizing infinity and freedom—two values that define their love.
Neither of them immediately announced the engagement. “They didn’t want the pressure of public scrutiny,” the source said. “They wanted to celebrate it quietly with their families first.”
By October 2025, fans were surprised when the couple suddenly confirmed they had exchanged vows. What shocked many even more was the timing—Bea had previously hinted that she wanted to marry “in 2028 or beyond,” once she had completed more of her advocacy work and personal projects.
So what prompted the sudden wedding?

In a heartfelt message shared to close friends and family after the wedding, Bea reportedly admitted that she and John had originally planned to wed three years later, in 2028. However, unexpected family circumstances led them to move the date forward.
“Both our families encouraged us to take this step sooner,” Bea was quoted as saying. “They’ve seen how stable and committed we are, and they wanted us to start our next chapter together while everyone we love could still witness it.”
According to sources close to the couple, the decision came after a series of family discussions and emotional conversations earlier this year. Bea’s mother and John’s parents—both traditional and deeply family-oriented—expressed their wish to see the couple officially united sooner rather than later.
“Sometimes, love doesn’t wait for the perfect timing,” Bea reportedly told a friend. “We realized that what mattered most wasn’t the year on the calendar, but the people who would be standing with us when we said our vows.”
Fans and fellow beauty queens flooded social media with congratulations and warm wishes for the newlyweds. Many praised Bea’s courage to live authentically, balancing her public image as a beauty queen and her private identity as a woman who follows her heart without apology.
As the waves of La Union echoed the start of their married life, Bea and John stood hand in hand, smiling at each other—proof that sometimes, the best moments happen not when planned, but when destiny decides the time is right.
