Beauty Gonzalez
Biography
Beauty Gonzalez was born as Christine Marie Luche Gonzalez in Dumaguete to Carina Luche, a Spanish-Filipina who hails from Cebu and Ibarra Manuel González, a Spaniard. Her father was a former professional Jai Alai player in Manila. He had coconut and sugar cane farms in Pamplona, Negros Oriental. Her mother comes from a political family in Cebu. She has one older brother. She attended St. Louis - Don Bosco and then Silliman University for college. She later dropped out to join Pinoy Big Brother.
Prior to joining Pinoy Big Brother, she was once chosen as one of Cebu's 12 Prettiest Teens, and she was crowned the Miss Teen Philippines - Central Visayas in 2006.
Gonzalez gave birth to her daughter with Norman Crisologo in February 2016. They named her Olivia Ines. Beauty and Norman, an art curator, became engaged in March 2017, and the couple married in May at a ceremony in Tagaytay.
In July 2023, Gonzalez attracted controversy after wearing a necklace and earrings made of "ancestral gold" to the GMA Gala. She had wished to showcase Filipino culture. The gold pieces were reworked eye and mouth covers from centuries ago excavated from many graves in places such as Butuan and Surigao. They had previously been exhibited at museums.
