The lovebirds (now woman and wife!) first met at the 2020 Miss Grand International competition in Thailand. The duo represented Argentina and Puerto Rico respectively. They soon became thick as thieves and one date turned into several.
Valentina took to Instagram to share the news with her followers through an emotional post.
