Olivia Culpo's Heartfelt Tribute to Christian McCaffrey as He Heads to NFL Training Camp
SPOILER ALERT!
The drama is already unfolding on the gridiron, folks! As NFL training camps prepare to kick off, one of the league's most eligible bachelors, Christian McCaffrey, has made a shocking departure from his new family life to get back to business. The San Francisco 49ers running back bid adieu to his newborn daughter and wife, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Olivia Culpo, to join his teammates for what promises to be an action-packed season.
But don't worry, folks! McCaffrey's departure hasn't gone unnoticed by his loving wife. In a heartwarming Instagram post, Culpo gushed over her hubby, revealing that she's going to miss him terribly while he's away. "Best daddy in the world goes to camp today. Everyone go wish him luck @christianmccaffrey," she wrote, accompanied by a crying emoji. Talk about a mom-guilt alert!
For those who may not be familiar with this adorable power couple, McCaffrey and Culpo tied the knot last year in a picturesque ceremony at Watch Hill's historic Ocean House hotel. And just six months later, they welcomed their little bundle of joy, Colette Annalise McCaffrey.
However, it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows for this new family of three. In a candid TikTok post back in March, Culpo opened up about the difficulties she faced during her pregnancy. She revealed that she had contracted pneumonia and was bedridden for four weeks, with a subchorionic hematoma (a condition where there's bleeding between the wall of the uterus and one of the sacs) making things even more challenging.
In a series of emotional black-and-white photos shared on their joint Instagram post announcing Colette's arrival, fans got a glimpse into the couple's journey. One particularly poignant image showed McCaffrey holding his wife's hand as she underwent a C-section – a heartwarming moment that will surely make you go "awww!"
As the 49ers running back heads off to camp, Culpo is left to navigate motherhood solo for the first time. But don't worry, she's not going it alone! The couple has been sharing adorable updates about their little one on social media, giving fans a peek into life as new parents.
Will McCaffrey be able to balance his football career with being an awesome dad? Only time will tell. For now, we're sending love and support to this gorgeous family of three. Stay tuned for more updates on their journey!
