MODEL ADMITS TO "SIMPLY BEGINNING TO DATE AGAIN"
Sophia Culpo has indicated a new romantic interest, stating she has "simply began dating once again." This comes in the wake of her public dismissal of speculation regarding a rekindled relationship with ex-partner Braxton Berrios.

Culpo addressed the rumors of reconciliation with Berrios through a direct social media post. She later elaborated on her thought process behind this pointed public statement.

THE BERRIOS-EARLE INTERSECTION
The speculation surrounding Culpo and Berrios's potential reunion emerged shortly after Berrios's split from model Alix Earle. Berrios, a professional football player, had previously dated both Culpo and Earle.

Culpo's own past relationship with Berrios was reportedly tumultuous, with allegations of infidelity made by Culpo that Berrios reportedly denied.

DATING SCENE RE-ENTRY
Culpo's confession of re-entering the dating scene was made in response to direct inquiries. Her remarks follow reports, including a since-deleted post from the gossip account DeuxMoi, suggesting Culpo had been seen with a wide receiver for the Houston Texans in New York City.
