Model Joyce Prado, who represented Bolivia in 2018's Miss Universe Pageant, held in Thailand, has been stripped of her Miss Bolivia and Miss Santa Cruz crowns after revealing she's pregnant.
To pageant organizers, this was considered a breach of contract—contestants in the Miss Universe pageant agree to remain unwed during the competition, as well as the year of their "reign."
<p>
<strong>Prado announced the news of her pregnancy on Instagram alongside boyfriend, model Rodrigo Giménez:</strong>
</p><blockquote>
<em>"I want to share with you that I am the happiest woman in the world because my life is full of love, because together with the man of my dreams we are beginning to live the most beautiful stage of our lives."</em>

<strong>As unfair as it may seem to some, <a href="https://www.missuniverse.com/about" target="_blank">pageant rules</a> are very clear on contestants becoming pregnant:</strong>
</p><blockquote>
<em>"They must not have ever been married, not had a marriage annulled nor given birth to, or parented a child...titleholders are also required to remain unmarried throughout their reign."<br>
</em>
</blockquote><p>
Fortunately, it doesn't seem like Prado is too worried about her lost title—she's got an exciting new direction coming in her life and she's ready for the change!
