Aurora Culpo and Paul Bernon ‘split’ after just two months of dating following sister Olivia’s dig and wedding ban
AURORA Culpo has quietly split from Paul Bernon after two months of dating.
A source confirmed to Page Six that Aurora, 35, and Paul, 45, were no longer together.
Bethenny Frankel, 53, first hinted on Sunday that the two might have parted ways on her podcast Just B with Bethenny.
She claimed that Aurora - whose sister Olivia Culpo, 32, tied the knot with NFL star Christian McCaffrey, 28, last week - might have been too vocal about their relationship, which prompted the breakup.
The former Real Housewives of New York City star called off her three-year engagement to Paul earlier this year.
"Hearing about your ex-fiancé committing to another woman shortly thereafter on their first date, and then being inside their relationship, hearing about their sex and their gifts and meeting each other’s kids and the level of commitment," the Bravo star told her listeners.

Bethenny also said she was "proud" of how Aurora handled the breakup and that she learned a lot from the experience.
"[Aurora and Paul's] actions cost them their relationship, which was brand-new, and who knows what would’ve happened?" the podcast host wondered.

The former couple haven't publicly addressed their split.
