A former Miss Universe winner once reportedly dumped her NFL boyfriend due to a bizarre reason.
Olivia Culpo won Miss Rhode Island USA, Miss USA 2012 and Miss Universe 2012.
The 33-year-old, born in Cranston, Rhode Island, went on to crown Gabriela Isler of Venezuela as her successor in 2013, becoming the third Miss Universe from the USA to pass the title to Venezuela.
Culpo then co-hosted the 2022, 2023 and 2024 editions of Miss Universe.

Away from pageantry, Culpo amassed a significant following on popular social media platforms such as X, Instagram and YouTube and went on to partner with a host of different beauty and fashion brands, including L'Oreal, Kipling and Uberliss.
It was previously reported that Culpo was in a relationship with ex-NFL star Tim Tebow back in 2015.
Tebow played for the likes of the Denver Broncos and New York Jets during his career.
However, it was claimed by the New York Post [via Voice] that Culpo left Tebow due to his unwillingness to have sex with her because of his Christian faith.
His parents were Baptist missionaries in the Philippines, and his religion has clearly shaped his sporting career.
However, it appears that it also had an impact on his romantic life.
Back in 2009, Tebow admitted he was a virgin and stated that he was saving himself for marriage.
In 2019, Culpo started dating NFL running back Christian McCaffrey; the pair married in June 2024.
In July 2025, Culpo and McCaffrey welcomed their first child, a daughter named Colette Annalise McCaffrey.
Meanwhile, Tebow married Miss Universe 2017 and South African model Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters in 2020. The pair's daughter was born in July 2025.
During another interview on OutKick’s "Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich," in 2023, Tebow said: "I would just say what Jesus has done for me is everything. So, my faith hasn’t really cost me anything. My faith in Jesus and what Jesus has done for me has given me everything. It’s given me a real hope.
"It’s given me a meaning. It’s given me a purpose for being. It’s given me a hope of heaven. It’s given me a joy for life. It’s given me a love for people. Even in the midst of my mistakes and shortcomings and failures in life, that I’m not defined by my scars – I’m defined by His."
