Alexie Brooks opens up on relationship with girlfriend: ‘I'm grateful everyday na she's there to make me happy'
In an interview with Boy Abunda in "Cayetano in Action with Boy Abunda" on June 1, the Miss Eco International 2025 queen revealed that she's been in a relationship for almost a year now.
Alexie gently corrected Tito Boy when he asked her how important 'this man' was to her concept of happiness.
'I'll change the 'man.' I'll rephrase. The woman,' the beauty queen said.
So Tito Boy asked her again, 'How important is that woman to your concept of happiness?'
'Very important, Tito. I realized it when my grandma passed away and she was there. And that was the first time that I caught myself down on the floor. And she helped me get out of the floor. I didn't eat for a few days, she didn't eat for a few days,' Alexie said.
She added that during that time, her girlfriend made sure that she was OK.
'I think that tells so much about how much she cares for me, how much she loves me. I'm grateful everyday na she's there to make me happy and supporting me in the dreams that I want,' Alexie said.
Alexie had always been vocal about her androgynous identity and how she embraces fluidity in both style and relationships.
'And I feel like it's better if you don't put yourself a limit into what you can, you know, expression mo sa sarili mo. And it's so much better. I'm happier. I'm comfortable and I feel confident and I don't think—there's nothing wrong with that,' she said.
Alexie was crowned Miss Eco International 2025 last April at the Hilton Green Plaza in Alexandria, Egypt.

Jinkee Pacquiao thanks Manny's supporters following boxing comeback: 'My heart is full'
Despite Manny Pacquiao's less than desirable results in his return to ring against WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios, his wife Jinkee Pacquiao is still full of gratitude. On Instagram, Jinkee shared photos of their family following the boxing match held in Las Vegas, Nevada. "My heart is full thanks to you all," Jinkee wrote. "I'm deeply grateful for all your love, prayers, and support." During the match, Jinkee donned a maroon one-shoulder sleeveless top and a red bandage miniskirt. She finished off her look with a pair of red pumps and, of course, her signature Hermès bag, this time in the design Sac Faubourg Birkin 20 set in matte alligator black hardware. At 46, Manny managed to finish a 12-round fight with Barrios, with the latter winning the match via majority draw. The Filipino boxing legend may not have won the fight, but his legion of fans worldwide still referred to him as the GOAT (Greatest of all time), including Ruffa Gutierrez. The Pacquiao-Barrios match marked the Filipino champ's boxing comeback after he announced retirement in 2021. — Hermes Joy Tunac/LA, GMA Integrated News

(It's been seven years but until now, I can't explain how you were able to change my world the way you did.) "Hindi ko alam kung anong hiwaga ang meron ka, pero sa'yo ko natagpuan ang kapayapaan sa gitna ng gulo, at ang saya sa gitna ng lungkot," she added. (I don't know what magic you hold, but through you I found peace in the middle of chaos, and happiness in the middle of melancholy.) Bianca promised Ruru that she will always choose him: today, tomorrow, and every day. "Pitong taon pa lang 'to, pero parang habambuhay na kitang mahal," she said. (It's only seven years but I feel like I've loved you a lifetime.) Earlier, Ruru also shared an appreciation post for Bianca and wrote a short but sweet poem. Ruru confirmed his relationship with Bianca in 2022. The couple has talked about marriage, with Ruru calling Bianca The One.
