Sofia Culpo has set her sights on finding someone ready to get into dating again and start a family.
“My best quality in a partner is someone who is thoughtful and kind,” the model exclusively told Page Six at the Clarins Night of Extra event in Los Angeles on Friday.
“That’s number one,” she said, adding that another non-negotiable factor she’s looking for is someone who wants to be a father.
“I want to be a mother someday, along with my cute nieces,” she said.
Culpo, 29, declined to say whether she has met anyone special recently, but she is currently enjoying her time as an aunt.
The TV personality, who has siblings Pete, Aurora, Gus and Olivia, is delighted to have seen her children “grow into their own personalities” and “experience new things”.
“She’s just starting to crawl and she’s so cute,” she said of Oliva and husband Christian McCaffrey’s 8-month-old daughter Colette. “It’s so much fun to watch her.”
Sophia also does her best to help her siblings, sharing that Olivia texts her “at least once a day” asking if she wants to come over.
She jokingly told the 33-year-old model, “I know it’s because you want someone to play with and watch the kids half the time. I’m not going to say no to that, but I know what you’re doing.”
“She misses me as her roommate,” Sofia joked. “I know she is.”
Meanwhile, Sofia shared via Instagram last week that she was back on Bumble after taking a break from dating.
She gave her followers some heartfelt advice to set their intentions, know their “values” and what they want in a partner when they’re “ready” to date.
The Culpo Sisters star also hinted at her past romance with Braxton Berrios, 30, who she dated from 2021 to 2023, adding, “It’s no secret that her dating life is public.”
Sofia cheekily denied speculation that she had reunited with the NFL star after gossip blog Deumoxi shared an allegedly deleted photo of her in New York City.
“I’m logging onto the internet to find out what city I’m in today,” she wrote in a TikTok video on March 11.
Berrios was rumored to have been cheating on Sofia with her now ex-girlfriend, Alix Earle, and they had just broken up in December after two years of dating. The wide receiver previously denied the allegations against him.
Sophia’s last public relationship was with Michael Stevens. She and the lawyer began dating in 2023, but broke up in October.
