The Miss Universe 2015 winner was quick to respond to the "The Interview" actor's expression of "love" towards her, re-gramming the photo from his Instagram account.
"I LOVE YOU MORE!!!" she captioned the photo with.
Two weeks into her reign, Pia Wurtzbach has done the rounds on different media outfits, appearing on Good Morning America and Kelly and Michael, among others.
This after the controversial Miss Universe 2015 pageant night where host, Steve Harvey mistakenly announced Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez, the winner instead of Miss Philippines.
"Uh, I have to apologize," Steve Harvey told the crowd at the Miss Universe pageant. "The first runner-up is Colombia. Miss Universe 2015 is Philippines."
Since then, Steve Harvey has been criticized and mocked for the now-famous switcheroo and has been the subject of parodies, even in recent awards shows like the People's Choice Awards and the Golden Globes.
“I tried to fix it and I tried to fix it right there,” Steve Harvey said of the Miss Universe mix-up. “And when I did it, it was horrible. It was horrible to Miss Colombia. And she's the only one I haven't had a chance to talk to.”
"Now, have I tried?" he asked later. "Yes. But I've got not a response... But at the same time, how could I not let Miss Philippines, who actually won the event – she got the most points, she actually was the real winner – so why would I wait (to correct myself)?"
James Franco has yet to reply again to pia's repost on Instagram.
