Kiara Liz Ortega PT 2: PS, Love You, I Married my Stalker. My Miss Puerto Rico Sabotage and No I Do Not Cook! Magic in the Maldives and Back to the Bay!
Manage episode 503078308 series 3599373
What do you do when the man who once slid into your DMs ends up becoming your husband? If you’re Kiara Liz Ortega, you marry him in Ireland at the actual P.S. I Love You bridge, wear a black diamond ring, and then laugh years later about the fact that yes—technically—you married your stalker.
In this unfiltered, hilarious, and heart-tugging episode, the former Miss Universe Puerto Rico and star of The Bay opens up with Pol’ Atteu and Patrik Simpson about everything from red-carpet disasters to her chaotic globe-trotting honeymoon. Imagine this: France, Italy, Qatar (during missile strikes, no less), the Maldives, Egypt, and Spain—all in just a few weeks. Kiara dishes on luxury bungalows, underwater hotels, driving through Spain like locals, and the surreal moment of almost canceling a trip because bombs were flying overhead.
But the glamour didn’t come without the drama. From falling down studio stairs mid-shoot (and her husband casually saying “I’ll call you tomorrow” at 3 a.m.) to navigating soap opera storylines covered in blood yet dressed in couture, Kiara keeps the laughs rolling. She reveals how she hid her gowns from fellow pageant girls to avoid sabotage, walked a stage with mismatched shoes, survived zippers breaking right before a red carpet, and even flashed the wrong underwear during finals night—all while keeping her crown intact.
Fashion lovers will swoon over the Runway Rundown details of her emerald gown designed by Pol’ Atteu, a dress that somehow looked breathtaking even while she was dodging soap-opera gunfire. Meanwhile, Pol’ and Patrik roast her kitchen skills, insisting she looked like she’d never seen a stove while filming, which Kiara blames entirely on her character, Dre Collins Castro.
And then the tone shifts. The much-anticipated coffee reading uncovers something deeper—a snow globe from Hollywood she must keep close to anchor her balance, a wish from childhood she’s still carrying, and the undeniable pull between financial stability and her true passion: acting. Vulnerable and raw, Kiara admits she longs to represent Puerto Rico not just with a crown, but with her craft, her voice, and her heart.
She recalls the resilience of Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria, where strangers pushed each other’s cars in endless gas lines, laughter breaking through despair. For Kiara, that memory fuels her drive: to keep representing her island proudly in every project she takes on.
By the end, we’ve laughed at the absurd (duct tape as a fashion savior), swooned over romance (a whirlwind proposal just four months in), gasped at the near disasters (missiles in Qatar, broken gowns, chaotic commutes), and sat in awe as Kiara shared the most mystical moment of all—the coffee cup confirming a wish she’s carried since she was ten years old.
This isn’t just a podcast episode. It’s a full ride: pageant sabotage, stalker-turned-husband romance, international honeymoon chaos, couture breakdowns, and a mystical glimpse at the future. Kiara Liz Ortega proves she’s more than a queen—she’s a survivor, a storyteller, and a Puerto Rican star who’s just getting started.
So grab your coffee, buckle up, and prepare to be undressed in the best way possible.
