The former pageant queen, 33, confirmed the exciting news on Sunday by posting a slideshow of black and white photos from the hospital with their newborn.

In another sweet post, uploaded to her Instagram Story, Culpo gushed ‘Colette is so lucky to have the best daddy in the world. A love like no other.’
She also described giving birth as ‘the scariest and most rewarding of all experiences.’
‘As soon as he came into the room I felt most at peace [crying emoji], look at the grip,’ the new mom said of McCaffrey, referring to her white-knuckle grip on his arm.

Culpo hid her pregnancy for approximately six months.
In May a source told DailyMail.com that she first ‘started telling very close family members she was pregnant around Thanksgiving.’
The pair went public with the news in March.
She shared several stunning black-and-white snaps of herself caressing her bump on social media as she announced to her followers: ‘Next chapter, motherhood.’
Olivia also shared a video of herself and Christian romantically holding hands and kissing outdoors.
The couple, who began dating since 2019, tied the knot last summer in a lavish ceremony in Rhode Island.

Christian is the star running back for the San Francisco 49ers, while Olivia is an actress, model and former pageant star.
Having a child was a dream Olivia was unsure she would be able to attain.
During a 2022 episode of the reality show Culpo Sisters, she said: ‘I want to have kids, but I want to make sure that I can. It could be really hard for me to have babies.
She continued: ‘Endometriosis can affect your fertility in a lot of different ways.
‘You can have endometrial tissue growing near or on your ovaries, it can affect the quality of your eggs, scar your fallopian tubes.
‘There is so much that I don’t know about what’s going to happen in the future with that condition, and I worry all the time about my timeline. I feel like I have to have kids ASAP.’
