49ers' Christian McCaffrey and Olivia Culpo Share Baby News: 'Next Chapter, Motherhood'

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey and his wife, Olivia Culpo, have announced that they’re expecting their first child together. The exciting news comes just months before the couple celebrates their first wedding anniversary.

Culpo, the 33-year-old former Miss Universe, took to social media to share a stunning photoshoot alongside a heartfelt caption: "Next chapter, motherhood."

Among the flood of congratulatory messages was a special shout-out from McCaffrey’s teammate Kyle Juszczyk. The soon-to-be-released fullback humorously declared, "Uncle Juice can’t wait to meet his godchild! Congrats guys!" Juszczyk’s wife Kristin wasn’t far behind, chiming in with, "The best mom and dad there ever will be. We love you guys so much!!" Clearly, the couple has a solid support system both on and off the field.

The love story between Culpo and McCaffrey began in 2019, with their engagement taking place in April 2023. The pair tied the knot in June 2024 in Culpo’s home state of Rhode Island. However, their wedding wasn’t without drama; Culpo faced criticism over her choice of dress, prompting McCaffrey to fiercely defend her on social media, calling one critic’s remarks "evil." Ah, the joys of public life.

Culpo has been vocal about dealing with online negativity. In an interview with Fox News Digital, she reflected on the motivations behind trolling, saying, "I feel like trolls are people who are so upset with their lives that they have to spread hate… It’s sad for them." Her candid thoughts reveal a resilience that’s pretty admirable, especially when life in the spotlight brings its unique challenges.

The baby news comes on the heels of reports that the 49ers are releasing veteran fullback Kyle Juszczyk after eight seasons with the team. McCaffrey shared his thoughts on Instagram, calling Juszczyk his "brother" and underscoring their bond as teammates.

While it’s been a whirlwind of emotions for the 49ers organization this week, the focus for McCaffrey and Culpo is clearly on their bright future as parents. Congratulations to the happy couple—it looks like their team is growing in more ways than one!
