Olivia Culpo and her sisters, Aurora and Sophia, made their TLC reality TV debut with «The Culpo Sisters» on November 7. The first episode of the show foreshadowed a season filled with laughter, tears, and drama. According to Page Six, when producers asked the former Miss Universe to speak openly about her time with the singer and their eventual breakup, she hesitated but eventually revealed a slew of new details. Spoiler: Jonas was not portrayed positively.
Culpo described moving to Los Angeles to be with Jonas before becoming famous as a «very formative experience.» «I didn't have a brand, I didn't have any money, and I was in love,» she explained. «It was fantastic, but when he dumped me, I lost my sense of self.» She was madly in love with the singer and was convinced they were going to marry, but their time together was overshadowed by her personal problems. «I just remember staring at the ceiling of my unaffordable apartment night after night, wondering how I was going to pay the rent,» she recalled.
