Initially, the relationship seemed an uncomfortable topic for the model as she tried to dodge questions saying, “Do I need to talk about this?”
Culpo believed at the time that they would get married, but it didn’t work out and the couple ended their relationship in 2015.
She added, “I moved to LA with him. I had no brand, no money and I was in love. That was great, but when he broke up with me, I kind of lost my sense of identity.

“My whole identity was in him,” she said.
“This is a very ordinary story of a young person in love. I thought we were getting married, I thought about all those things, and I just remember looking at my ceiling in my apartment night after night, that I couldn’t afford to think about how to pay my rent will,” she said.
Olivia says the breakup was “a serious, defining moment for me.”
She added that there were times when she “couldn’t even afford my groceries.”
It taught me that you can’t give up.
Olivia is currently dating star running back Christian McCaffrey, who was recently traded from the Carolina Panthers to the San Francisco 49ers.

This deal gives the 49ers the offensive power they need to fight for a Super Bowl title.
McCaffrey was the 2017 eighth-round draft pick and has a contract through the 2025 season with a base salary of $11 million in 2022 and 2023.
Culpo and McCaffrey began dating in 2019 and openly made their love public on Valentine’s Day 2020, when the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model posted a picture of the duo with the caption, “Happy Valentine’s Day to my best friend.” Thank you for changing my life and showing me the kind of love I always wanted but never thought possible.”
In July 2020, the couple got a dog together and in March 2021, Christian named his boat after Olivia.
In June 2022, Culpo posted photos of the happy couple celebrating three years together.
