Christian McCaffrey’s Wife: Olivia Culpo

Christian McCaffrey has firmly established himself as one of the premier running backs in the NFL, quickly reaching milestones like 3,000 rushing yards and 3,000 receiving yards. Before being traded to the San Francisco 49ers, McCaffrey set several records with the Carolina Panthers. With the 49ers, his performance soared, earning him three First Team All-Pro selections.

Beyond his on-field success, McCaffrey’s personal life has also caught public attention, especially his relationship with Olivia Culpo, whom he married on June 29, 2024.

Olivia Culpo was born on May 8, 1992, in Cranston, Rhode Island. Her early years were marked by a strong interest in music; she began learning the cello at just two years old. Culpo spent summers at band camps and performed with esteemed groups like the Rhode Island Philharmonic Youth Orchestra. Culpo excelled academically at St. Mary’s Academy in Bay View, graduating in 2010 with high honors and as a member of the National Honor Society. She attended Boston University but eventually left to pursue an acting career.

Culpo entered the world of pageantry in 2012, winning the Miss Rhode Island USA competition. Her success continued as she claimed the Miss USA title, becoming the 61st Miss USA and the first from Rhode Island. She then won Miss Universe, making her the eighth American to achieve this honor.

Her pageantry successes transitioned into a thriving modeling career. In 2013, she walked in the Sherri Hill fashion show and appeared in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue five years later. In 2020, she graced the cover of the magazine and appeared in Esquire.

With her growing fame, Culpo became a prominent fashion influencer, garnering significant followings on platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter. She has collaborated with Vogue and Byrdie, offering beauty tips. Companies like Uberliss, Kipling, and L’Oreal have partnered with her for various campaigns.

Culpo has also ventured into acting, appearing in films such as “The Other Woman,” “American Satan,” “I Feel Pretty,” “Reprisal,” and “Venus as a Boy.” She has also had roles in TV series including “Paradise City” and reality shows like “Model Squad” and “The Culpo Sisters.”

Following in her father’s footsteps, Culpo entered the restaurant business, opening “Back 40” in 2017, which offers Rhode Island-style All-American cuisine. Five years later, she co-opened another restaurant named “Union & Main.”

Olivia Culpo’s love life has seen her linked with various celebrities, including Nick Jonas, Ryan Lochte, Tim Tebow, and Danny Amendola. However, it was Christian McCaffrey’s strong family values that led her to break her “no dating athletes ever again” rule, marking the beginning of their notable relationship in 2019.

The couple made headlines when McCaffrey liked one of Culpo’s Instagram photos, following which they were seen vacationing together in Mexico. Their relationship quickly became public, with Culpo seen supporting McCaffrey at his games while donning his jersey and McCaffrey presenting at her magazine shoots.

Despite their busy careers, which often kept them apart, McCaffrey’s trade to the 49ers brought them geographically closer. Their bond deepened, and McCaffrey proposed in 2023, leading to their wedding on June 30, 2024, in Watch Hill, Rhode Island, attended by numerous celebrities and McCaffrey’s teammates.

Throughout their relationship, Culpo has been McCaffrey’s biggest supporter, a role that she will undoubtedly continue in their married life.
