MANILA, Philippines — Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray opened up for the first time about why she and ex-boyfriend Sam Milby broke up.

In her interview with Karen Davila, Catriona detailed the reason for their breakup.

"There was a point in our relationship where I think he just realized that he wasn't ready to take it to the stage of commitment that we were on, because he had proposed," she began.

"And then, a few months later, [he] realized that hindi pala siya ready. So, that was very hurtful for me, and I was really blindsided at the time. I really tried to make it work. So, I was willing to just—siguro, when you love someone, you're willing to understand them. Pero, it got to a point na, at that age, and what we've been through, and hindi ka pa rin sure, I think that's an answer already," she added.

Catriona then realized that she needed to choose herself.

"Because I've given so much in trying to adjust... I don't look down on myself at that moment because I did it because I love the person," she said.

In the same interview, Catriona said she wants to get married and have children in the future.

"As a woman, I wanna have a family. I wanna get married, and I'd love to be a mom someday. So, I really want a partner who values me and sees that future too. Ayokong ma-wait around for someone to figure out," she said.

In February 2025, Sam confirmed in an interview that they are no longer a couple.

They got engaged in 2023 after three years of dating.
