After nearly a year of marriage, Olivia Culpo announced that she is pregnant with her first child with NFL player Christian McCaffrey. Miss Olivia Culpo, 33, and her husband, NFL player Christian McCaffrey, 29, are expecting their first child. Culpo announced the good news via Instagram when she shared a photo of her large baby bump, with the caption: “Next chapter, motherhood 🤍,“.
In the comments section, Culpo received many congratulations from fans and friends, including celebrities like Gigi Hadid and Demi Lovato. Currently, the couple has not revealed the baby’s due date.
Culpo previously expressed concerns about her fertility due to endometriosis, a condition that can affect her ability to get pregnant. She has shared about the difficulties in diagnosing and treating the disease, which made her worried about having children.
Culpo and McCaffrey have been dating since 2019. Initially, Miss Universe 2012 did not want to date the athlete anymore because she had a troubled love history with players. However, McCaffrey patiently proved his sincerity.
In 2023, McCaffrey proposed to his girlfriend in a romantic setting in Utah. According to People, Culpo was very emotional when her boyfriend knelt down, expressed his love and placed on her finger a 5- to 6-carat oval diamond ring, worth $100,000-200,000.
Culpo shared that she felt like she was living in a fairy tale when she accepted the proposal from her other half. The couple officially got married in June 2024 in Rhode Island, the bride’s hometown. The couple tied the knot at Watch Hill Chapel, witnessed by family and close friends.
In her pre-wedding interview with Vogue, Culpo described marriage as a “covenant.” “It’s the beginning of the rest of your life,” she said, “and it’s the union and bond of two people forever.”
This profound perspective influenced Culpo’s wedding attire selection—a bespoke Dolce & Gabbana creation that she felt “was as serious as that commitment.” “When I think about Christian and what he loves and the moments that he thinks that I’m most beautiful, it’s absolutely in something like this: timeless, covered and elegant,” the model explained.
In the months preceding her widely-publicized wedding, the former Miss Universe had expressed her intention to “start trying immediately” for children after marrying the NFL player.
Following their June ceremony, Culpo’s siblings shared exclusive insights with PEOPLE in October about how the newlywed is already adapting her lifestyle in preparation for future parenthood.
Aurora, Culpo’s older sister and mother of two, observed changes in her sister’s interior design choices. “Already, I can see that her house is no longer all white and beige,” Aurora remarked. “I’m like, ‘You’re realizing this might not work for your future.'”
Sophia, the youngest Culpo sister, concurred, characterizing her sibling as a “through and through perfectionist,” a trait she believes is incompatible with raising children.
“I know she’s going to be a really loving mother. I know that she’s going to be very prepared. I think she’s going to have everything in place,” Aurora predicted, adding humorously, “Probably already picking out her children’s preschool. At the moment she’s probably already on the waitlist.”
