This week, Lina Luaces was crowned Miss Universe Cuba 2025, leaving her family bursting with pride. Among the first to express their admiration were her great-uncles, Emilio and Gloria Estefan, who were quick to share their excitement over her achievement.
Emilio Estefan took to Instagram to share a heartfelt message alongside a collage of family photos, stating, "Congratulations on an unforgettable night celebrating your amazing work. So proud of you, Lina." Lina's response was short but filled with emotion: "Love you." Her mother, TV host Lili Estefan, chimed in with enthusiasm, "Yessss! So beautiful!"
Soon after, Gloria Estefan joined in with a touching message, reflecting on Lina's journey from infancy to her recent accomplishments. "I am incredibly proud of my great-niece, Lina Luaces, our new Miss Universe Cuba 2025. From welcoming her into the world to celebrating her dance achievements and watching her grow through life's ups and downs, it's been an honor. Congratulations, Linita! Your tireless effort has brought you to this moment. You'll make us proud in Thailand!"
With the unwavering support of her influential and close-knit family, Lina is now gearing up to represent Cuba at the upcoming Miss Universe pageant, slated for November in Thailand. While she carries a well-known surname, Lina aims to make her mark based on her own merits.
Currently, she holds a crown, the attention of a nation, and the full-hearted celebration of her family.
