Quite the Starting Lineup! Inside Olivia Culpo’s Dating History: From Athletes to Musicians

Ryan Lochte

Olivia and the Olympic gold medalist swimmer sparked relationship rumors in September 2012. 

Although she hasn’t spoken out about the athlete, he gushed over the Rhode Island native the same month. “She is beautiful. I love hanging out with her,” he told E! News. “She has a great sense of humor, she makes me laugh, she’s just a good girl to hang out with.”

He even praised her for becoming Miss USA a year into her entering the pageant world. 

Nick Jonas

The two were so serious that she thought he was going to pop the big question, especially after he knelt down on one knee to her in the middle of the 2014 Miss Universe pageant. 

After they broke up in 2015, Olivia revealed her true feelings in an emotional Instagram post. “Your heart just breaks, that’s all,” her June 2015 caption read. “Heartbreak is hard but you find more and more things to be grateful for every day,” she continued.

“One of those things is all of you,” she added. “Thank you all. Yes I’m going to be okay and I love u guys so so much. Everyday is a blessing.”

Tim Tebow

The Other Woman actress dated the former athlete for a short three-month period. Tim became deeply devoted to his faith at the time and was practicing celibacy, however, that was a dealbreaker for Olivia.

Danny Amendola

Olivia and the NFL wide receiver had quite the toxic relationship from April 2016 to March 2018. After their breakup, Danny posted a lengthy rant on Instagram, deep diving into their past relationship.

“I believe there should be a boundary btw private life and social media. Olivia believes in fishbowl lifestyle. This fundamental difference was huge in our relationship,” he said.

“Olivia chooses and wants to be noticed on the internet and in Hollywood to make money. Which was hard for me to understand but quickly had to learn. Whereas the cost of fame in this world doesn’t appeal to me. I play ball for one reason and that’s RESPECT.”

Zedd

The Sports Illustrated model was seen dancing in the DJ’s arms at Coachella in 2019, however, their romance didn’t progress any further.

Christian McCaffery

Olivia and the NFL star first sparked dating rumors in May 2019, while they announced their engagement nearly four years later in April 2023.

“We tried to keep this quiet for as long as possible but apparently word travels fast,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “I’m marrying my best friend, I love you so much, fiancé.”

The couple tied the knot in Watch Hill, Rhode Island, in June 2024. Olivia wore a stunning yet modest long-sleeved Dolce & Gabbana ball gown with a crew neck.

“I didn’t want it to exude sex in any way, shape or form. I wanted it to feel effortless and as if it’s complementing me, not overpowering me. There’s so much beauty and simplicity,” she told Vogue about her wedding dress.
