Olivia Culpo And Christian McCaffrey Are Expecting Their First Baby

Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey are expanding their team! The former Miss Universe and San Francisco 49ers running back announced on March 10 that they’re expecting their first child together.

Culpo shared the news on Instagram, posting a series of photos cradling her baby bump with the caption, "next chapter, motherhood."

The Easter Egg We All Missed

Of course, some eagle-eyed fans had already been speculating. Back in October, Culpo posted a casual Instagram dump featuring glam shots, family moments, and a whole lot of Oliver Sprinkles (her pup, not a new pregnancy craving). But tucked between the aesthetic chaos was one particular image that had people talking – McCaffrey’s hand resting suspiciously on her stomach.

It didn’t take long for the comments to roll in. One user summed it up with a simple, "The picture of Christian touching your stomach" alongside the classic eyes emoji.

A Love Story That Almost Didn’t Happen

Culpo and McCaffrey’s journey started in 2019 thanks to a little matchmaking from model Kristen Louelle and NFL player Tyler Gaffney. But it wasn’t exactly love at first sight – at least not in Culpo’s mind.

"I was apprehensive," she admitted in a 2022 Instagram post. "I was worried it would be the same old story all over again and that all guys were the same." Given her dating history – including Nick Jonas and Danny Amendola – it's fair to say she had her reasons.

But then McCaffrey showed up on their blind date wearing distressed jeans, a t-shirt, and holding pink roses. The rest is history.

"I’m so grateful for the voice inside me that told me to give love another chance," she wrote. "The yin to my yang, you are the epitome of strength through humility. Thank you for being my rock and restoring my faith in love. You are everything I ever dreamed of and more."

The baby news comes just under a year after the couple tied the knot in a stunning New England wedding on June 29, 2023. The ceremony, held at the 150-year-old Watch Hill Chapel in Rhode Island, was the picture of classic elegance. Culpo, ever the fashion icon, wore a custom Dolce & Gabbana ball gown with a 16-foot lace veil.

"I didn’t want it to exude sex in any way, shape, or form," she told Vogue. "I wanted it to feel effortless and as if it’s complementing me, not overpowering me. There’s so much beauty and simplicity."
