Film producer Paul Bernon has already moved on after splitting from ex-fiancée and Real Housewives of New York City star Bethenny Frankel in March, Us Weekly has reported.
According to the outlet, Bernon has been dating the sister of model Olivia Culpo, Aurora Culpo, for more than two months now. “He moved on very quickly after Bethenny,” a source said.
“Being the oldest means I’m the OG influencer of these two,” Aurora Culpo joked on this photo with her sisters Sophie and Olivia. Photo: @auroraculpo/Instagram
The relationship has reportedly blossomed quickly, as the 45-year-old was spotted with Aurora at Olivia’s wedding to San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey on June 29, per Just Jared.

The new couple have also been spotted on a motorboat cruise in Rhode Island with Culpo’s family in recent days, as seen in pics shared by Backgrid.

Here’s what we know about Olivia Culpo’s older sister Aurora.

The 35-year-old is one of five siblings, including brothers Pete and Gus, and Olivia and Sophia, per People. According to Aurora’s website, she grew up in Rhode Island in a “tight Italian family of classical musicians”.

Aurora and her younger sisters Olivia and Sophia starred on their own reality TV show, The Culpo Sisters, in 2022. Sophia previously dated NFL star Braxton Berrios, who’s now with influencer Alix Earle.

She studied teaching

She’s a social media influencer and blogger

These days, Aurora keeps busy maintaining her social media accounts, including Instagram, where she boasts over 200,000 followers. “[Nowadays] I use my professional skills in a totally different way by digging deep into what makes people tick, connecting with my community and sharing what’s keeping me most sane during these early years of raising babies which is so joyful but so tough at times!” she wrote on her website.

She also runs a blog, where she shares her favourite recipes, workout routines, beauty must-haves and travel logs. She’s even done a collaboration with LA-based fragrance company Wakeheart to release a unisex candle with “hints of santal and palo santo”.

She’s into wellness

It’s pretty clear that the eldest Culpo sister is a wellness junkie – but seems to know how to stay healthy without restricting herself too much. “I love fitness, but I’m not giving up my carbs,” she declares on her site. She also adds that she “would spend all day cooking if [she] could” and that she loves yoga and just started playing tennis and pickleball.

Aurora says her proudest achievement is being a mum. According to People, she shares her son Remi Berkeley and daughter Solei Marie with her estranged husband, Survivor alum Michael “Mikey” Bortone. According to the outlet, they were married for three years before Culpo filed for divorce in April 2022. She opened up about her life as a single mum in an interview with People last May.

 

“I’ve been trying to maximise my natural stress support skills like sleeping and working out with supplements. It’s one step at a time. And I think what I’ve realised is that you have to be able to understand when something is just stressful because it’s situational and that everything will pass,” she told the publication.

How did Aurora Culpo meet Paul Bernon?

 

According to Us Weekly, the new lovers “met online” and “also had mutual friends, so it worked out”. The same source adds that the Deuxmoi gossip account was the first to report on the news.
