Olivia Culpo Is Pregnant, Expecting First Baby with Christian McCaffrey
Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey are adding another player to their team.
The former Miss Universe and San Francisco 49ers running back—who tied the knot in June 2024 after five years together—recently announced that they are expecting their first baby together. And in honor of the exciting pregnancy news, it felt only right to journey back through the couple's game-winning love story.
After all, Olivia, 32, and Christian, 28, have been each other's biggest cheerleaders since the start of their romance, which went public in November 2019, when the NFL star praised the model's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit photo shoot.
Sharing a behind the scenes snap from the spread to his Instagram Story at the time, Christian wrote, "Proud of you!" followed by heart-eyes and fire emojis.
And Olivia is not afraid to highlight her husband's biggest career moments, either—even when they don't turn out exactly how he hoped. In fact, she shared a sweet message of support for the football player after the 49ers lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2024 Super Bowl.
"Sad because I wish the outcome was different," Olivia wrote in a TikTok post at the time. "But ultimately grateful I get the opportunity to watch someone I love do what he loves and pour his heart and should into becoming better every single day."
She added, "I'm so proud of you Christian, you deserve the world."

And Olivia and Christian's hard work has certainly paid off in more ways than one. Case in point: Back in June 2024, the pair celebrated their nuptials with a glamorous Rhode Island ceremony, during which Olivia wore a show-stopping white Dolce & Gabbana gown.
Not to mention, four months later, the model revealed that the couple had purchased a stunning new mansion for their soon-to-be family of three.
“Now onto my next project,” Olivia wrote in an Oct. 29 Instagram Story atop a photo of the home’s European-styled exterior. “The most exciting one of all. Our forever home.”
But Olivia isn't only happy to have Christian on her team for
the high points in their journey.
"Even when things are exciting—everything's better with another person that you can share experiences with," Olivia previously told E! News. "So being there to support each other is such a blessing and it really does make everything easier. And at the end of the day, when you have that attitude, there's no worst-case scenario because at least you have each other."
