Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey became mommy and daddy after the former Miss Universe gave birth to a cute baby daughter. The pair named her Colette Annalise McCaffrey.

Instagram was buzzing with the arrival of Colette into the world. Culpo posted a carousel of black and white pictures shortly after experiencing one of the most important moments of her 33 years on Earth.

One of the photos documented the moment. A masked McCaffrey sat next to his dear wife during labor. In another one, now somewhat relieved, McCaffrey gently held Collette in his hands (possibly) for the first time.

These are the moments that live on for the rest of their lives.

Heartwarming messages poured in from all corners on Culpo’s Instagram account. Hollywood star Jeremy Renner left a short note for the new parents. “Omg congratulations you two !!!! And new path , new life shared with this new beautiful baby !!! Bravo new mom and pop!!!“

49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk wrote, “I love her so much already,” while his wife Kristine commented, “Welcome to the world, Colette!! You have the best parents in the world!”

Star tight end, George Kittle, defensive lineman Fred Warner, McCaffrey’s running back partner, Isaac Guerendo, and many more wrote beautiful messages to welcome Collette McCaffrey.

Culpo first announced her pregnancy back in March. She posed for a photoshoot while dressed like a Greek goddess. She captioned it,“Next chapter… Motherhood!”

A couple of months later, the former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model held her baby shower.

A few days before Collette’s birth, Culpo took her first step in motherhood by sitting down, shooting bold and yet graceful photos of her pregnant self.

“The greatest privilege of my life has been watching this body become a home.”

McCaffrey and Culpo tied the knot in a Rhode Island wedding in June 2024. They had a quaint but lavish ceremony with Culpo wearing a long-sleeve wedding gown.

According to the US Magazine, Olivia Culpo said in a TikTok video, “I’m just gonna rip out my IUD and start trying [for a baby] immediately.”

How did Christian McCaffrey and Olivia Culpo meet?

McCaffrey and Culpo first sparked dating rumors in May 2019, when the former Carolina Panthers RB liked a photo Culpo posted on Instagram. NFL reporter Dov Kleiman shared the photo with the caption: “McCaffrey and Culpo started to follow each other on IG when they were in LA.”

In July, the couple went on a vacation to Mexico. She slowly began attending the Panthers’ games and later moved to California after McCaffrey was traded to the 49ers. They have been together ever since and are now parents of a beautiful baby.

The 49ers’ training camp starts on July 15 for the rookies, and the seniors will start showing up from July 22. Kyle Shanahan would not mind too much if McCaffrey skips a couple of days to spend with his wife and daughter before immersing himself in the regimental training routine.

The 2025-26 season will be crucial for the former Offensive Player of the Year. Last year turned out to be a disappointment as he recovered from bad knee issues. He was placed on IR after just 4 games and 50 rushes.
