Married beauty queens Mariana Varela and Fabiola Valentín are the new faces for Fenty Eau de Parfum. Miss Argentina, 26, and Miss Puerto Rico, 22, shared their love story for the new ad as part of the brand’s #ComeSmellMe campaign.

Varela and Valentín spoke about how they “connected” in Thailand while competing in the 2021 Miss Grand International. “We were inseparable even though we were competing against each other,” they said. “Little by little, that moment brought us closer.”

Mariana and Fabiola said they soon realized they were meant for each other. “Everything kept flowing and turning into this beautiful friendship, which has grown now even more as wives [and] as a couple,” they said. “And that is magical to find someone like that in your life.”

During Valentine’s Day, they also shared a joint Instagram post. “I take pleasure in loving you each and every day,” the couple wrote.
