Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey are embarking on an exciting new chapter: parenthood! The former Miss Universe shared the joyful news on Instagram on March 10, posting a series of stunning black-and-white photos and a heartfelt caption.
“Next chapter, motherhood,” Culpo wrote alongside images of herself in an elegant flowing gown, cradling her baby bump. The couple also shared a touching video set to the song Bloom by The Paper Kites. The clip shows Culpo holding her stomach, the pair walking hand-in-hand through a field, and sweet moments of them kissing and admiring a sonogram.
Culpo and McCaffrey, who have been together since 2019, tied the knot in June 2024 in a romantic Rhode Island wedding. Culpo’s wedding dress, a long-sleeved, A-line gown designed by Dolce and Gabbana, sparked mixed reactions online, with some fans criticizing the look.
McCaffrey quickly came to his wife’s defense, commenting on an Instagram video by fashion commentator Kennedy Bingham, “What an evil thing to post online. I hope you can find joy and peace in the world, the way my beautiful wife does.”
In an interview with Vogue, Culpo explained her vision for the dress, saying she wanted it to feel “complementing” rather than “overpowering” and emphasized that she didn’t want it to “exude sex in any way, shape, or form.”
Despite her intentions, the backlash surprised her. Speaking to People weeks after the wedding, Culpo said, “I feel like I personally like to give people the benefit of the doubt. And unfortunately, I feel like the words I said were spun out of context to fit an agenda that I did not have.
