San Francisco 49ers star running back Christian McCaffrey and Olivia Culpo announced Monday that they are expecting their first child together, just a year shy of celebrating their first wedding anniversary.
The 33-year-old model shared a photoshoot on social media Monday to announce the baby news with a caption that read, “Next chapter, motherhood.”
Teammate Kyle Juszczyk, who will reportedly be released by the 49ers by the start of the new league year this week, congratulated the couple in another post, saying, “Uncle Juice can’t [wait] to meet his godchild! Congrats guys!”
Juszczyk’s wife, Kristin Juszczyk, added, “The best mom and dad there ever will be. We love you guys so much!!”
Culpo and McCaffrey began dating in 2019 and were engaged in April 2023. In June 2024, the couple officially tied the knot in Culpo’s home state of Rhode Island.
The former Miss Universe received harsh criticism following her nuptials over her wedding dress choice, which McCaffrey came to the defense of on social media at the time, calling one critic’s take “evil.”

In an August interview with Fox News Digital, Culpo spoke out against the online “trolls.”
“I feel like trolls [are] people who are so upset with their lives that they have to spread hate,” she said. “Really, that’s what it comes down to. You have to keep that in mind and feel bad for them.”
“It’s hard when you’re on the receiving end of someone who wants to make you feel really bad,” Culpo continued. “We have to imagine the head space that that person is. And when you really think about it, that’s sad. That’s sad for them.”
“They have to live with themselves. You just have to look at it, and then you get to walk away. But they’re stuck with themselves, so it’s sad. I really do hope that there’s a world where that doesn’t exist, because it’s really just an indication of that person suffering a lot.”
Monday’s news followed the shocking reports that the 49ers informed veteran fullback Kyle Juszczyk that they would be releasing him after eight seasons in San Francisco. Juszczyk served as a key piece in Kyle Shanahan’s offense since his signing in 2017.
McCaffrey shared a post on Instagram Monday, calling Juszczyk his “brother.”
