Sophia Culpo has her sights set on finding someone ready to start a family as she re-enters the dating pool.
“My number one 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 Friday.
“That’s number one,” she says, adding, that another non-negotiable she’s looking for is someone who wants to be a dad.
She told us, “With all my cute nieces, I want to be a mom someday.”
While Culpo, 29, didn’t disclose whether she has met anyone special recently, she’s currently embracing her auntie era.
The TV personality, whose siblings are Pete, Aurora, Gus and Olivia, gushes over witnessing their children “grow into their personalities” and “experience their firsts.”
Talking about Oliva and her husband Christian McCaffrey’s 8-month-old daughter, Colette, she said, “Coco just started to crawl, and it’s so sweet. That’s just so fun to watch.”
Sophia also has all hands on deck when it comes to helping her siblings, sharing that Olivia texts her “at least once a day” asking if she is coming over to hang out.
She jokingly told the 33-year-old model, “I know it’s just because you want someone to hang out with and half-watch your kid. I’m not going to say no to that, but I know what you’re doing.”
“She misses me as a roommate,” Sophia quipped. “I know she does.”
Sophia, meanwhile, recently shared via Instagram last week that she was back on Bumble after taking time off from dating.
She gave the heartfelt advice for her followers to set their intentions, know “their values” and what they’re looking for in a partner when they “were ready” to date.
“The Culpo Sisters” star also shared that it was “no secret her dating life has been public,” alluding to her past romance with Braxton Berrios, 30, with whom she dated from 2021 to 2023.
Sophia cheekily shut down speculation that she reunited with the NFL star after the gossip blog Deumoxi shared an alleged since-deleted photo of them in New York City.
“Me logging on to the Internet to figure out what city I’m in today,” she wrote via a TikTok video on March 11.
Berrios was rumored to be cheating on Sophia with now-ex-girlfriend Alix Earle, with whom he recently split in December after two years together. The wide receiver previously denied the allegations against him.
Sophia’s last public relationship was with Michael Stevens. She and the attorney started dating in 2023 and called it quits in October.
