Why Olivia Culpo Had "No Sense of Identity" After Nick Jonas Breakup

Olivia Culpo is only human—falling into a relatable relationship pattern.

During the Nov. 7 premiere episode of the influencer's TLC reality show, The Culpo Sisters, Olivia reflected on her two-year romance with ex-boyfriend Nick Jonas. "That was a very formative experience for me," the 30-year-old shared in a confessional. "I moved to L.A. with him, I had no brand, no money and I was in love. So that was great, right?"

However, "When he broke up with me, I was kind of left with no sense of identity," Olivia said of their 2015 split. "My whole identity was in him, which is a very common story of a young person in love. I thought were gonna get married, I thought all the things."

Olivia, who was crowned Miss Universe in 2012, even recalled sitting in her apartment that she "couldn't afford" at the time, thinking about how she was going to pay her rent. "I couldn't even afford my groceries," she noted. "It was a serious, pivotal moment for me but it's something that taught me that you can't give up."

And she didn't. In fact, Olivia's career has only continued to grow over the years—and it's safe to say they've both moved on romantically. Nick, 30, tied the knot with Priyanka Chopra, 40, in 2018 and welcomed daughter Malti earlier this year.

Meanwhile, Olivia has been in a long-term relationship with NFL star Christian McCaffrey. And despite their busy schedules, Olivia and Christian, 26, are stronger than ever.

"I feel like I've always to a certain extent been in a in long distance relationship because we are both pursuing different things that take us away," Olivia recently told E! News. "He's traveling all the time. I'm traveling all the time. But I think when you really love and respect somebody, you want them to achieve their goals and you want to help facilitate whatever they need to get to where they want to go. We're really understanding about that."
