Watching the 68th edition of the Miss Universe pageant must have brought special memories and a little nostalgia, as in 1993 the mom-of-two was crowned with the coveted title. At the time, the Latina beauty was only 18 years old! Now, her and Marc’s eldest son Cristian Muñiz is the same age as his mother when she was named the most beautiful woman in the universe.
Recently, the blue-eyed beauty shared she had her 14th treatment after being diagnosed with Melanoma in January 2019. Dayanara shared her last session will take place in March 2020, a year after she first began treatment for skin cancer. “If you have doubts about a new mole that is growing, has different colors, uneven border... please call your doctor or dermatologist! Early detection is key!” she wrote.
