Olivia Culpo joined “Extra’s” Maria Menounos as a special guest co-host from Times Square for the first time since being crowned Miss Universe. The two talked about Olivia’s new found fame and set the record straight on her rumored romance with Olympian swimmer Ryan Lochte.
Maria, “Now you said just two weeks ago you were doing chores and scrubbing the floors so has life changed since you became Miss Universe?” Olivia said, “Since winning Miss Universe I have a different title. I’m not Miss USA. I’m still the same person. I’m just excited to have a bigger platform.” Culpo’s platform is raising awareness for HIV and AIDS.
As for her dating life, Maria said, “I’m sure a line of guys are trying to date the most eligible woman in the Universe,” but Olivia doesn’t seem too concerned, “Whatever happens, happens. Just gonna go with the flow.” On the rumor she was dating Olympian swimmer Ryan Lochte, “Rumors are rumors. At the end of the day we’re just friends and I’m happy with that.”
But there is one man that is a part of her life, boss Donald Trump. Olivia saying, “Mr. Trump is an amazing person…I think I have the best boss.” Who her next boss may be, Maria asked, “Where do you see yourself career wise? What’s your dream job?” Olivia, “It’s crazy to think one year ago I was carrying books to my college library so much can happen in a short period of time. We’ll see what happens.”
