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’s into wellness

She has two children from a previous marriage

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.
