In a twist straight out of a rom-com, Olivia Culpo’s life flipped upside down after splitting with Nick Jonas. Once struggling to buy groceries, she now stars in her own Cinderella story, married to NFL superstar Christian McCaffrey.
From counting pennies to marrying a multi-millionaire, her journey is a dazzling tale of heartache turned fairytale.
Olivia Culpo Opens Up About Harsh Reality After Nick Jonas Split
Olivia Culpo is spilling the tea on her past relationship with ex-boyfriend Nick Jonas, and it sounds like things got pretty real after they called it quits. In the first episode of her new reality show, The Culpo Sisters, the former Miss Universe opened up about the “very formative experience” of dating a Jonas brother.
For a good two years, Culpo and Jonas were a red carpet staple. However, after their 2015 split, things took a sharp turn for the model. Leaving her vulnerable and financially strained, the breakup forced her to confront a harsh reality. “I moved to LA with him. I had no brand, no money and I was in love,” Culpo shared in a clip. This blind faith left her exposed: “But when he broke up with me, I was kind of left with no sense of identity.”
Struggling to make ends meet, Culpo questioned her future. “My whole identity was in him,” she admitted. “I thought we were going to get married!” The emotional and financial toll left her wondering how she’d pay the bills. “I couldn’t even afford my groceries,” she revealed.
While Jonas called Culpo a “wonderful individual,” he seems to have landed firmly on his feet. Marrying actress Priyanka Chopra in 2018, Jonas recently welcomed a baby girl.
Fast forward to today, and Culpo’s world looks dramatically different. Celebrating her third wedding anniversary with multi-millionaire NFL star Christian McCaffrey earlier this year, she’s clearly smitten. “He is really everything that I could ever ask for,” she gushed to Entertainment Tonight, adding with a laugh, “has a really good head on his shoulders and he’s hot, too, right?”
Culpo’s journey from post-breakup struggles to happily-ever-after with a successful athlete is a reminder that love can take unexpected turns. With a net worth of $9 million herself, Culpo has built a life independent of any partner, a far cry from the days of wondering how to afford groceries. Now, she can cheer on her millionaire husband from the sidelines, a world away from those nights spent staring at the ceiling.
Touchdown! Christian McCaffrey Marries Olivia Culpo
Taking a victory lap off the field, NFL star Christian McCaffrey just married Olivia Culpo! Vogue spilled the tea, sharing the news of their gorgeous Rhode Island wedding and a peek at Culpo’s stunning gown.
The former Miss Universe and McCaffrey, a three-time Pro Bowl running back for the San Francisco 49ers, started dating in 2019 and got engaged just four months later. Culpo, a Rhode Island native, opted for a chic, long-sleeved Dolce & Gabbana dress for the big day. “This is what Christian loves,” she told Vogue. “Timeless, elegant, and totally me.”
McCaffrey, fresh off an impressive season and a Madden NFL 25 cover athlete reveal, is clearly smitten. This isn’t Culpo’s first brush with the spotlight – she co-hosted the Miss Universe pageants and even competed on The Masked Singer.
From red carpets to the gridiron, these two seem to be a match made in celebrity heaven. Congratulations to the happy couple!
