Sophia Culpo Debuts New Romance After Michael Stevens Breakup

Sophia Culpo Hints at New Romance After Shutting Down Braxton Berrios Dating Rumors

Sophia Culpo is on cloud nine.

Nine months after she and attorney Michael Stevens reportedly ended their two-year relationship, the Culpo Sisters star has confirmed her new romance.

In a TikTok posted July 17, Culpo shared a glimpse of herself completing her skincare routine as she sat on a flight. And while donning her face mask, she panned the camera to her companion who joined her in her self-care, wearing two eye patches as he smiled at the camera.

The reality star, 29, captioned her post, “on my way to la di daaaaa.”

And social media users couldn’t help but point out that Culpo was glowing beyond her beauty treatment, with one person writing, “Happy to see my girl happy.”

Another teased that this was “the moment everyone has been waiting for,” while a third dropped a positive comment about their potential future: “He’s the one, I feel it.”

Prior to calling it quits in October, Culpo and Stevens started dating in 2023 after her split from NFL star Braxton Berrios. At the time, Berrios—who then began his romance with Alix Earle—faced speculation that he had cheated with the TikToker. However, the exes both shut down rumors of infidelity.

"It was a good relationship, it was a healthy one," Berrios shared in a 2023 Instagram Stories post. "And towards the end of it, we had conversations along the lines of we just weren't working out. So when we split back in January, that's why."

As the athlete, 30, explained, "It had nothing to do with anything else. It had nothing to do with anybody else for that matter."

Indeed, Culpo later said she reached out to Earle, 25, directly.

"I was like, 'Hey, I just wanna say I'm really sorry that this is turning into girl vs. girl,'" Sophia shared in a September 2023 episode of the Barely Filtered podcast. "'You don't owe me anything, he was the only person that had loyalty to me.'"

As for the Dancing With the Stars alum, she was ready to waltz on by all the drama too.

"She agreed," Culpo noted. "We were like, 'This needs to stop. This is so not helping anybody.' And at the end of the day, I just wanna move forward."

And move forward they did, as Culpo recently teased her budding dating life after setting the record straight on rumors she and Berrios had reconciled.

“I just started dating again,” she told E! News exclusively in March. “I took a solid four or five months off, and I think I might have a crush."
