Aurora Culpo is back on the market following her brief romance with Paul Bernon ended over the summer. “I’m dating,” she exclusively tells Page Six. “Not currently any person at the moment, but I’m open to dating.” “Right now, I’m hopefully expecting to meet somebody. I feel like I will,” Aurora adds, while promoting her and sister Sophia Culpo’s partnership with Thorne. The “Barely Filtered” podcast host clarifies that she’s “not really going out of [her] way to make it happen,” but she meets “interesting people all the time.” “There’s, like, ebbs and flows of my dating life. I feel like there it picks up, and then, right now I’m in a little bit of a lull. But, I know it won’t last. I’ll meet somebody who I think is interesting,” she says. When asked about possibly pursuing one of Olivia Culpo’s husband Christian McCaffrey’s San Francisco 49ers teammates, Aurora seemed hesitant to date someone younger than her. “They’re so young. Like, I’m 35. I mean, I don’t know why I always think I need to date older. Maybe I should date young. I don’t know! Maybe, I’ll see. But I think for the most part, no, I’m not interested in any of my brother-in-law’s teammates. But, you know, I’m open,” she shares. Aurora was previously married to Michael Bortone, but she filed for divorce from him after his alleged infidelity in April 2022. The exes remain in each other’s lives as they co-parent son Remi and daughter Solei. “Co-parenting is a learning experience. I’m changing, my ex is changing all the time. We have two kids who are constantly changing into new phases of life, from like being toddlers to now being school age,” she tells us. The “Culpo Sisters” star explains that co-parenting for them has been like a “game of flexibility.” “I think that would probably be one of my biggest pieces of advice for other moms who are co-parenting or single moms, just realizing that, not everything is ever going to be perfect at one time, and not everything needs to be,” she shares. Aurora advises other people in her position to be “OK with being in the mess” of the moment because “nothing lasts forever.” “There’s so many wonderful parts about being a single mom. I think a lot of people kind of look at it as a situation that’s unfortunate. I think that it’s made me really strong and actually a better potential partner in the future. Just give yourself some grace and be flexible,” she says. After her split from Bortone, Aurora briefly moved on with Bernon –– who was previously engaged to Bethenny Frankel. However, they split after two months of dating in July after Olivia joked that Bernon was her “flavor of the month.” “There were things, like, he doesn’t want any more kids [and] I probably do want more kids,” she said on an episode of her “Barely Filtered” podcast. Aurora added that they also had “different” communication styles and figured out that they were “not compatible” as a couple. “He’s such a nice guy. He’s sweet. He’s generous. He’s a great dad. Super funny. Just because we can’t be together doesn’t mean that I’m mad at him or doesn’t mean that I don’t still think he is an amazing person, because he is,” she continued. Meanwhile, her younger sister, Sophia Culpo, recently celebrated her first anniversary with boyfriend Michael Stevens. “This last year has been, like, I feel like a truly a new person. I feel like I have like a whole new lease on life and just new perspective on so many things and new relationships,” Sophia, 27, raves to Page Six. Sophia gushes that she’s been able to “break old patterns” and “grow” with Stevens. “I truly feel like I just have such a kind and loving partner that really has kind of helped me learn to love myself more in ways that I never knew I even needed to. He’s great,” she tells us. The sisters are currently promoting Thorne, a wellness company that provides supplements and personalized tests to help people reach their health goals. “I started taking Thorne [supplements] years ago,” Sophia says. “When you’re able to work with brands that you genuinely love and that are great companies, especially in a space that really needs more standard-setting companies like Thorne, it’s really special to be able to work with them.” Aurora adds that one of her primary passions is “longevity and mental health.” “I just love Thorne as a company, because they really do integrate holistic wellness,” she says. “They’re not just trying to get you to buy as many supplements as possible, because we all know that that can be kind of daunting to feel like you need to take every supplement under the sun in order to maintain wellness.”
