Congratulations are in order for Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey, who have officially become parents for the first time with the arrival of their newborn.
Olivia, 33, and Christian, 29, took to social media to reveal that they had welcomed a baby girl, with a slew of photos capturing their trip to the hospital and the happy family.
“Colette Annalise McCaffrey,” the post was simply captioned, their newborn’s name, and quickly their friends and fans took to the comments to congratulate them.

She is a beautiful angel. love you guys,” and a third adding: “She’s the most beautiful baby with the best mommy and daddy. She’s already so loved. Her auntie loves her.”
The former Miss Universe and the San Francisco 49ers star have been together since June 2019, when they were introduced by mutual friends. They tied the knot after five years together in June 2024.
Speaking with People recently, the model explained that her pregnancy, which she announced back in March, gave her a new appreciation for her own mother, Susan Curran, a mom-of-five herself.

“She’s just been so helpful to me, especially in the beginning of my pregnancy. That was really tough. It’s just kind of an interesting thing, and I’m just so grateful to her.”
Olivia continued: “It’s just an ironic thought that you need your mom the most when you’re about to become a mom. That’s just genuinely how I felt.”

“I would say anything that you think you’re going to do going into parenthood could change,” Olivia added. “Overall, staying open-minded is the way that I’m approaching this. I feel like you can’t get ahead of yourself because you just never know.”

“It is fun growing your family with someone that you really love and just being able to see Christian as a dad will be really exciting,” she lovingly continued. “I just know he’s going to be such a good partner and husband and father. I can’t wait to see him step into that role. It will just be unlike any other experience.”
