The pregnancy announcement quickly went viral across social media, with fans and celebrities flooding the couple with congratulatory messages. Culpo followed up the next day with an Instagram story, showing off her growing baby bump while riding in the backseat of a car.
“Also excited to officially bump around because this thing is really getting big,” she wrote.
The news comes after Culpo previously shared her excitement about starting a family. In a 2023 TikTok video, she joked, “I feel like the day after my wedding, I’m just gonna rip out my IUD and start trying immediately.”
McCaffrey, one of the NFL’s most electrifying players, is coming off an otherwise standout season with the 49ers, albeit missing the strong majority of it with injuries. Now, he’s gearing up for an even bigger role: fatherhood.
As for Culpo, the Rhode Island native has built a career well beyond the pageant world. She made history in 2012 as the first American Miss Universe winner in 15 years. Since then, the 32-year-old has built a fashion, beauty, and entertainment empire, gracing the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue and starring in films and reality TV.
The San Francisco running back and Culpo first met on a blind date in 2019 before officially confirming their relationship on Valentine’s Day in 2020. They got engaged in 2023 before tying the knot last year.
With a baby on the way, McCaffrey and Culpo are stepping into a brand-new chapter — one that fans will eagerly follow, given their combined 5.5 million Instagram followers.
