Sophia Culpo’s in a new relationship, and she couldn’t appear to be happier about it.
The model and influencer raved over her new boyfriend during an exclusive interview with the California Post on Monday, revealing for the first time publicly his name is JP.
“We met through a mutual friend, which I think is really the way to go about it these days,” said Culpo, the sister-in-law of San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey. “And he’s just so lovely. And we’re in our little bubble, trying to balance the bubble and also the public aspect of people wanting to know.
“But everything is going great.”
Culpo said when the two were initially introduced, she was in a relationship and she had no interest in JP romantically.
“I’m a loyal gal,” the 29-year-old said.
However, they ultimately reconnected, and Culpo said they’ve now been going strong for about seven months.
Culpo, who previously dated New York Giants wide receiver Braxton Berrios, revealed to The Post that JP is a 32-year-old “finance guy” who she joked is now her “financial advisor.”
“Just in like a funny way,” she added, “because he’s the numbers guy. I’m the personality, he’s the numbers guy. He’s the smart one. I’m the funny one. He’s great.”
Culpo first showed him off to her tens of thousands of social media followers last month, when she shared several snaps of him on her Instagram page. She called him her “sweet midwestern boy” in a caption on the carousel, but offered no further details.
She admitted on Monday that since the post, she’s received “a lot of DMs” about him “every day.”
In addition to the new relationship, Culpo’s also been involved in some new business deals, including one with SVEDKA that led to a unique outfit choice for her appearance at the 49ers vs. Broncos game on Sunday in Santa Clara.
She donned a strawberry-red clear jersey to promote the brand’s Vodka Water while rooting on her brother-in-law, and she said she “got so many compliments on it.”
Seems it’s now only a matter of time before she and JP show up together at Levi’s Stadium and garner similar responses.
