Tech entrepreneur Jonathan Sterling, the boyfriend of beauty queen Celeste Cortesi, made a return to social media with an Instagram Story on June 23, 2026. Sterling cited the controversies surrounding his relationship with Cortesi, who is currently pregnant with their first child, as one of the reasons for his online comeback.
Joking About Wealth
In his Instagram Story, Sterling addressed speculation about his wealth with a humorous twist. He wrote: “To correct the record: I am NOT a millionaire. I’m a billionaire.” This lighthearted remark did not, however, address the rumors that he and Cortesi had already broken up or explain why actress Bianca Manalo had been dragged into the breakup speculation.
Upcoming Documentary Series
Instead of addressing the breakup rumors directly, Sterling teased an upcoming documentary series about Cortesi. He said: “But seriously, if you want the full story, watch ‘Celeste Unscripted’ when it comes out later this year.” The series, titled “Celeste Unscripted,” is an eight-part documentary that delves into the life of Miss Universe Philippines 2022 Celeste Cortesi.
Sterling’s return to social media comes amid heightened public interest in his relationship with Cortesi, especially following the pregnancy announcement. The couple has faced intense scrutiny, with rumors of a breakup circulating in recent weeks. Sterling’s Instagram Story appears to be an attempt to address the speculation while promoting the upcoming documentary.
