-- It appears the rumors are true and Danny Amendola and Olivia Culpo have split up, according to a report by Us Weekly.
An Us source claims the two “definitely broke up” and “it had to do with the distance and them barely seeing each other.”
The report says Amendola was not thrilled with Culpo’s SI Swimsuit issue photos. Amendola also just signed a contract with the Dolphins and Culpo allegedly did not want to relocate from Rhode Island to Miami.
“He got signed to the Miami Dolphins and Olivia wasn’t going to move there,” the source added.
Amendola scrubbed his Instagram of photos with Culpo and unfollowed her last week. He posted a picture with Julian Edelman in Austin on Saturday.
Culpo, meanwhile, is living it up in Las Vegas with her sister and a friend.

-- Tim Tebow will start the baseball season with a promotion.
The Heisman Trophy winner and former NFL quarterback will enter the 2018 season with Mets Class AA affiliate Binghamton Rumble Ponies.
Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said in February he thinks Tebow will play in the majors before too long.
“I think he will play in the major leagues,” Alderson said. “That’s my guess. That’s my hope and to some extent now after a year and a half, a modest expectation.”
Tebow joined the Mets organization in September 2016. He has gone 1-for-18 in seven games this Spring Training and hit .226 with a .656 OPS between two Class-A levels.
