The man named Sexiest Doctor Alive by People magazine has confirmed that he is in a new relationship with Pia Wurtzbach, Miss Universe 2016. Rumours the duo were dating had been mounting after the gorgeous doc shared a picture of himself with Wurtzbach on Instagram last month and she shared a picture of them together on her Twitter account.

Speaking to Wonderwall.com, Dr. Mike, aka Mikhail Varshavski, confirmed the new relationship: "I am dating Pia. It's a fairly new relationship but I'm really excited to see where it can go!" Dr Mike was named the 'Sexiest Doctor Alive' by People magazine in 2015 and has amassed a huge social media following with 1.6m followers on Instagram.

Along with her beauty title, Wurtzbach is memorable as the winner who almost was not crowned when host Steve Harvey accidentally awarded the title to Miss Columbia only to have to awkwardly take back his announcement when he realised his mistake.

At the end of February, Wurtzbach posted the picture of the two on Twitter, captioned 'Zombies after boxing'. Almost two weeks before that, Dr Mike shared a picture of them together saying "She says she wanted to be a doctor until she realized she's deathly afraid of the sight of blood, so she decided to win #MissUniverse instead #touché #welldone #stoneheartday".

Dr Mike is a second year medical resident at Overlook Medical Center in Summit, New Jersey. Wurtzbach was born in Stuttgart to a German father and Filipino mother and was the Philippines entrant in the Miss Universe 2015 contest, which she went on to win.
