For a long time, many people have been calling for beauty pageants to update their seemingly antiquated rules. However, for the most part, these rules haven’t changed much – and there are beauty pageant queens now navigating some of these rules. One such beauty queen is Miss Guatemala 2024. 

The glamorous beauty queen, who had captivated audiences and earned acclaim as Guatemala’s representative, passed the baton to Ana Gabriela Villanueva, the first runner-up of the July competition. Andrea Radford‘s departure from the Miss Guatemala 2024 title unfolded recently amid the poignant announcement of her six-month pregnancy. 

Radford’s decision to embrace motherhood is one she chose proudly and is now embarking on a new chapter in her life. 

What Happened with Miss Guatemala, Andrea Radford?

The transition, however, was not without its complications. In a revealing live broadcast with journalist Lucho Borrego, Radford disclosed that she had been awaiting a crucial decision from Miss Universe regarding her eligibility to compete while pregnant.  

Despite her earnest efforts to represent Guatemala on the global stage, Radford faced the harsh reality of bureaucratic limitations. 

In a surprising turn of events, Borrego’s discussion with Miss Universo executives revealed that Radford could indeed participate while pregnant. Yet, the Miss Guatemala organization’s decision to require her resignation left Radford with no choice but to step aside. She expressed her feelings with grace, acknowledging the impact of her departure on others. 

What’s Next?

Looking forward, Radford remains hopeful. She shared that although her reign has concluded, there is a door left open for her return next year. This glimmer of possibility allows Radford to envision a future where she might once again grace the pageant stage, embodying both the elegance and determination that defined her tenure as Miss Guatemala. May she be able to enter this stage, so she can make her dreams come true.
