“He is humble, takes nothing for granted, works extremely hard and has earned everything he has accomplished. I’m grateful for his contributions to the Panthers and wish him the best as he moves forward with his career.” “Christian’s focus and commitment to the game are rare,” Panthers owner David Tepper said. The 26-year-old is the son of former Stanford and NFL wide receiver, Ed McCaffrey, and former Stanford soccer star, Lisa McCaffrey. He played college football in California for the Stanford Cardinals before the Carolina Panthers drafted him as the eighth overall pick in the first round of the 2017 NFL draft. The NFL pro, 26, was traded to the San Francisco 49ers in October after playing several seasons with the Carolina Panthers. Culpo, 30, opened up about the big change during an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, noting that she was excited to be on the same coast as her beau.

The former Miss Universe announced on Friday that she is engaged to longtime boyfriend Christian McCaffrey. In October 2019, Culpo was photographed wearing one of McCaffrey’s jerseys to a game, and on Nov. 3, 2019, he posted an Instagram Story about how proud he was of Culpo for her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit shoot. Later that month, McCaffrey posted another story of Culpo and his mom cheering him on at a game. Several more sightings followed, and on Feb. 1, 2020, they made their red carpet debut as a couple at the NFL Honors.

While speaking with StyleWatch, Culpo reiterated that though she wants to start a family with McCaffrey, watching her sister Aurora Culpo parent her two kids is a “really good form of birth control.” Culpo also opened up about how she feels she has a “ticking time bomb” when it comes to her fertility given her endometriosis diagnosis and the couple’s four-year age difference. “I’ve talked to Christian and we’re on the same page about having kids, we both want to have kids, but the timeline of that is something that is not in the foreseeable future,” she said. Culpo was first linked to McCaffrey in 2019 after he liked one of her Instagram posts. “He’s just the best, I feel like he is really everything that I could ever ask for, so I never have to worry about anything,” she told Entertainment Tonight in November 2022. Culpo was first linked to Zedd in April 2019 after TMZ shared a video of the DJ and model dancing with their arms around one another to Ariana Grande’s “God Is a Woman” at Coachella.

The model revealed in an old Instagram post that she wasn’t sure if she was ready to date, but went ahead with it anyway. The 30-year-old Be4 model and 26-year-old footballer have established themselves as stars in their respective careers. “The first thing that really drew me to him is family values. Christian’s really family-oriented, [like me],” she told us. The couple first began dating in 2019 when Christian played for the Carolina Panthers.
Ahead of the Super Bowl, the couple attended the 12th annual NFL Honors in Phoenix. Culpo, who wowed in an off-white, mermaid-inspired gown, posed for photos on the red carpet with McCaffrey, who donned a custom double-breasted suit by Pantheon Limited. The model shared photos from the star-studded evening on Instagram.
In addition to modeling and modeling for music videos, Olivia has dabbled in acting. She is also an accomplished social media influencer; her Instagram account has over four million fans. The stunning photos she posts on the site are largely responsible for her massive following.
Culpo tagged her boyfriend “poor sick baby” in the caption and gave him a light kiss on his forehead. Even though the running back could not show off his skills on the field, he had his lady make him feel better till he recovered. Culpo is not only a girlfriend to the professional footballer; she is also his biggest supporter. From showing her support by rocking a Panther-themed nail design to being by his side in sickness, the 28-year-old has proven to be a doting girlfriend.
