Olivia Culpo is gearing up to support her hunky fiancé, San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey, at the 2024 Super Bowl.
But before settling down with the NFL player, the pageant queen-turned-WAG has been romantically linked to other successful athletes and A-list musicians.
From Nick Jonas to Danny Amendola, Pvnew is taking a look at the Miss USA winner’s star-studded roster of relationships and heartbreaks.
Ryan Lochte
Culpo was rumored to be dating Olympic gold medal-winning swimmer Ryan Lochte in 2012 after they were spotted schmoozing during Fashion Week.
However, shortly after, the “Culpo Sisters” star denied that they were romantically involved.
“We met last week, and that was it. People make up things when they see people together,” she told Pvnew at the time. “We met, and, the next thing, you read something like that. You can’t really base it off of just meeting someone.”
Lochte, for his part, seemingly tried to fan the flames, telling E! at the time, “She is beautiful. I love hanging out with her. She has a great sense of humor. She makes me laugh. She’s just a good girl to hang out with.”
Nick Jonas
In 2013, the model began Nick Jonas and she swiftly moved into his Los Angeles home. The two went on to date for two years before breaking up in 2015.
Culpo later admitted that she believed she was going to marry the Jonas Brothers member.
“I did date Nick and that was a very formative experience for me,” she revealed in her TLC show in November 2022.
“I moved to LA with him. I had no brand, no money and I was in love. That was great, right, but when he broke up with me, I was kind of left with no sense of identity,” she explained, who explained her “whole identity” was about being with him.
“I thought we were going to get married, I thought all the things, and I just remember night after night looking up at my ceiling in my apartment that I couldn’t afford thinking to myself how am I going to pay my rent.”
Culpo admitted to not being able to afford groceries at the time of their breakup.
“It was a serious, pivotal moment for me, but it was something that taught me that you can’t give up,” she said on her reality show, before revealing that they split because of “distance.”
Jonas went on to marry Priyanka Chopra in 2018 and they welcomed their daughter, Malti, via surrogate in 2022.
Tim Tebow
After Jonas, Culpo sparked dating rumors with Tim Tebow in September 2015.
The former Denver Broncos player and Culpo had been spotted out together on several occasions, per Terez Owens.
E! News later confirmed that they had been dating for a month.
“Tim and Olivia are dating but trying to keep out of the public eye as much as they can,” the insider told the website. “She is very open to getting to know Tim and exploring the chance of something more with him. She’s really attracted to Tim’s personality. Olivia is excited about what’s developing as they get to know each other more.”
Things seemingly fizzled for the duo shortly after and Tebow ended up marrying Miss Universe 2017 Demi-Leigh in 2020.
Danny Amendola
Culpo rebounded from Tebow with a tumultuous on-again-off-again relationship with Danny Amendola.
She and the former NFL wide receiver went Instagram-official in February 2016.
Their relationship came to a screeching halt in 2018 when Amendola was spotted on a beach date with journalist Bianca Peters.
An insider told E! News at the time that Culpo was extremely embarrassed by the whole thing and quickly split from the athlete.
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model seemingly rekindled her romance with him in 2019. However, about four months later, the New England Patriots alum announced their breakup in an Instagram rant where he bashed Culpo.
“Olivia chooses and wants to be noticed on the internet and in Hollywood to make money,” he wrote along with a video of Culpo making pancakes before quickly deleting the post.
“Olivia believes in fishbowl lifestyle,” he wrote. “If you’re my real friend you know I’m private. My mother, brother, father and nephew are closest to me in this world and you don’t see one picture of them and that’s for their protection from those who criticize and judge.”
Amendola said that he and Culpo “had some amazing times together” and “the sex was f–king crazy,” but that “the cost of fame in this world doesn’t appeal” to him.
“I play ball for one reason and that’s RESPECT,” he said, further claiming that Culpo would pressure him to post about their relationship on social media.
He admitted that they had been “on and off for a long time” and were “not together as of late!”
“Not sure what’s in the future but the only thing I care about is her HAPPINESS. And if that’s dancing with scrony little f–ks, so be it. I’m happy too,” the football player said.
Zedd
Amid her relationship drama with Amendola, Culpo started hanging out with German DJ Zedd.
She and Zedd were first linked in March 2019 when they were reportedly seen dancing at Coachella.
Two months later, Pvnew exclusively revealed that Culpo celebrated her 27th birthday with Zedd in attendance.
“[Zedd was] getting cozy with Olivia all night, and sat next to her for the entirety of the dinner,” a source shared at the time, adding, “They were definitely into each other.”
Things seemingly fizzed for the duo as they didn’t resurface together in public after their PDA-packed outing.
Fans believe that Amendola’s “dancing with scrony little f–ks” comment was aimed at Zedd.
Christian McCaffrey
Culpo began dating Christian McCaffrey in 2019 and he proposed four years later.
“We tried to keep this quiet for as long as possible but apparently word travels fast. I’m marrying my best friend. I love you so much, fiancé,” Culpo announced in April 2023 via Instagram.
While the duo are heading down the aisle, it may be some time before they start a family together.
“I’ve talked to Christian and we’re on the same page about having kids, we both want to have kids, but the timeline of that is something that is not in the foreseeable future,” Culpo revealed in a November 2022 episode of her reality show, via People.
“He is completely and totally focused on football and he should be. He’s not ready to have kids. It’s not really an option,” she added.
However, in October 2023, she shared that she wanted to “immediately” try for children after they tie the knot.
“I feel like the day after my wedding, I’m just gonna rip out my IUD and start trying immediately,” she said in a TikTok video.
Culpo admitted to being stressed out about being able to have kids since she struggles with endometriosis and is four years his senior.
The brunette beauty celebrated McCaffrey’s entrance into the 2024 Super Bowl with a sweet post on Instagram in January 2024, writing, “You deserve it all Christian, I love you so so much.”
The couple reside inside Culpo’s stunning $3.5M Encino, Calif., home when he isn’t traveling for football.
