How Pregnant Olivia Culpo Hid Her Baby Bump Before Reveal

Olivia Culpo Is Pregnant, Expecting First Baby with Christian McCaffrey

Olivia Culpo pulled several trick plays before her big pregnancy reveal.

Hours after the former Miss Universe announced she's expecting her first baby with husband Christian McCaffrey, her sister Sophia Culpo dusted off the playbook to show how Olivia attempted to hide her bump until it was game time.

Re-sharing Olivia's Jan. 1 Instagram post, which showed the 32-year-old holding her dog Oliver in front of her stomach, Sophia quipped on Instagram Stories, "Now you all know why her nickname is Oblivia... she ain't stealth."

In another post, Sophia, 28, jokingly called out how "poorly" Olivia was concealing her growing belly at pals Hayley Sullivan and Deven Marrero's wedding in February. Sharing a close-up of Olivia standing in the crowd with a visible bump underneath her strapless dress, Sophia captioned to quote her sibling, "'I'm just bloated.'"

However, Olivia agrees with Sophia's assessment. In a screenshot of their text exchange discussing the wedding photo, the model wrote, "Hahaha so bad."

But these days, Olivia can finally let loose—literally. Following her pregnancy announcement, the mom-to-be posted a photo of her baby bump stretching over her jeans and seatbelt as she sat inside a car.

"Excited to officially bump around," Olivia wrote in the caption, "because this thing is really getting big."

And it's been a long road to pregnancy for Olivia. As the Culpo Sisters star shared in a 2022 episode of her reality series, "Endometriosis can affect your fertility in a lot of different ways."

"I want to have kids, but I want to make sure that I can," explained Olivia, who was diagnosed with chronic estrogen-dependent disorder in 2020. "It could be really hard for me to have babies."

At the time, she felt there was a "looming timeline" to start a family due to her condition.

"There is so much that I don’t know about what’s going to happen in the future with that condition and I worry all the time about my timeline,” she added. "I feel like I have to have kids ASAP."
