Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey Celebrate Arrival of Baby Girl Colette Annalise
Let’s get straight to today’s standout news: Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey welcomed their first child, daughter Colette Annalise McCaffrey, on July 13, 2024. The former Miss Universe and the San Francisco 49ers running back introduced their little one in a set of intimate black-and-white snapshots shared on Instagram. In her caption, Olivia wrote “Colette Annalise McCaffrey,” and later added in her Stories, “Colette is so lucky to have the best daddy in the world. A love like no other.”
The couple first revealed their pregnancy in March with a series of glowing photos of Olivia cradling her baby bump and the simple caption “Next chapter, motherhood.” Reaction came swiftly from Olivia’s sister, Sophia Culpo, who revisited a January Instagram post where Olivia posed with her dog Oliver in front of her midsection. Sophia cheekily noted on her Story, “Now you all know why her nickname is Oblivia… she ain’t stealth.”
Throughout her pregnancy, Olivia kept fans in the loop. She and Christian embarked on a babymoon road trip, documenting scenic drives and quiet moments together. The model even tried her hand at a popular TikTok trend that claims old wives’ tales can predict a baby’s sex based on morning sickness and cravings. Despite her strong intuition that she might be carrying a boy, Olivia chose to wait until Colette’s arrival to learn the true gender.
This joyful moment comes after Olivia’s public discussion of her fertility concerns. Diagnosed with endometriosis—a condition where uterine tissue grows outside of the uterus and can impact egg quality and fallopian tube function—she worried it could complicate her journey to motherhood. In a November 2022 episode of The Culpo Sisters podcast, Olivia acknowledged the pressure she felt to start a family sooner rather than later. “There is so much I do not know about what will happen in the future with that condition and I worry all the time about my timeline,” she said.
In spring 2024, Christian proposed during a trip to Utah and the couple exchanged vows in June in Olivia’s native Rhode Island. Throughout their relationship, the duo has made clear that they lean on each other for support both on and off the field. Olivia told E! News last spring that having a partner to share victories and frustrations is “such a blessing” and “makes everything easier.”
Even amid football season, the new parents find ways to connect. Olivia admitted to E! that she and Christian started a two-person book club featuring her choice of “girly girl thrillers,” and they try to schedule date nights at least twice a month. Now balancing life with a newborn, they are embracing late-night feedings and first smiles with the same team spirit they bring to every aspect of their lives.
And there you have it: one more remarkable play from the Culpo–McCaffrey playbook. Stay tuned for the next chapter in their growing family saga.
