One of the NFL’s best running backs is preparing to take on a new role. San Francisco 49ers superstar Christian McCaffrey and his wife, Sports Illustrated model Olivia Culpo, are expecting their first child together.
Culpo, 32, took to Instagram to share the news, captioning a black and white photo “Next chapter, motherhood.” She also shared a video in which she and McCaffrey are enjoying a romantic outdoor scene before she holds up a sonogram.
The pair got married less than a year ago in a lavish ceremony in Culpo’s native state of Rhode Island. They’ve been linked since 2019 and got engaged in April 2023.
McCaffrey, 28, was named the 2023 Offensive Player of the Year. He’s looking to bounce back in 2025 after getting hurt in December, forcing him to end his injury-plagued campaign early. He dealt with a calf strain early in the year and suffered a sprain PCL in November.
Culpo was open about her fertility journey, revealing that she feared her endometriosis would make it her difficult for her to conceive. “I want to have kids, but I want to make sure that I can,” Culpo said on her reality series, “Culpo Sisters,” in an episode that aired in November 2022. “Endometriosis can affect your fertility in a lot of different ways,” she continued. “You can have endometrial tissue growing near or on your ovaries, it can affect the quality of your eggs, scar your fallopian tubes.”
Culpo’s due date has not been revealed.
