There is a soul mate. VS. A soul mate exists. There exists a soul mate.

There is a soul mate. VS. A soul mate exists. There exists a soul mate.

All of the three are fine to use and they mean the same? What do you native English speakers think?

Thank you so much in advance.

There is a soul mate.
The speaker is telling us that they know that there is the concept of a soul mate which everyone has.

A soul mate exists.
This is a little more passive (not in the grammar sense) and generic. The speaker is avering the existence of soul mates.

There exists a soul mate.
