Two Miss Bumbum contestants have shown their love for each other has outlasted the famed pageant, with the pair snapped kissing at the launch of their nude photoshoot for ‘Sexy’ magazine.

Brazilian beauties Deia Cavalheiro and Camila Beck surprised fans of Brazil’s popular annual beauty pageant by announcing they were in a relationship with each other ahead of voting.

Despite the award for Brazil’s best buttocks going to rival Lunna LeBlanc, both Deia and Camila have kept their romance up and have lately posed for a saucy photoshoot for the magazine Sexy.

The pair rocked up to the launch party for the July edition of the popular mag, which features the two curvy beauties leaving little to the imagination as they pose up close together in the nude.

The two women arrived at the event holding hands and were photographed kissing, drawing praise from gay-rights activists for drawing attention to the LGBT cause.

The pair said: “The magazine spiced up our relationship, it was something different that we did together and that gave us a lot of pleasure. We have an exhibitionist side, so it was a unique and important experience for our career.”

Deia, 29, said “I loved myself in the magazine, the result was incredible”, while Camila, age unknown, commented: “We asked for little touching up, the photos are very natural and provocative.”

The women revealed they have received praise online for going public with their relationship, despite lingering anti-gay prejudice in Brazil.

Though LGBT rights in Brazil are amongst the most advanced in the world, the country is also reported to have the highest LGBT murder rate in the world.

The pair said: “We’re in love, we have projects together and we’re at the best moment of our lives, enjoying every moment and opportunity. Our dating goes beyond the contest.”
