He couldn’t go because of his football commitments. “It’s not drama. It’s not about him doing something wrong or me doing something wrong. It just didn’t seem to be working at that moment.”Culpo and Berrios’ 2023 split was tumultuous, with rumors of cheating when Earle began seeing her. Berrios denied the overlap, stating on Instagram, “I really want this to be over and for everyone to move on and follow what makes them happy.” She described their relationship as “a good relationship. It was healthy. Towards the end, we had conversations where we just weren’t compatible. It had nothing to do with anyone else; we just didn’t work, and that’s acceptable.Culpo hinted at trust issues in later deleted posts.After the breakup, she briefly dated comedian Michael Stevens in late 2023, but now appears focused on new connections.
