Olivia Culpo Shares New Photo of Baby Girl With Matching Diapers
Christian McCaffrey wants to tackle every special moment in fatherhood.
However, his football training has other plans. As the San Francisco 49ers player prepares for the upcoming NFL season, he detailed feeling guilty for leaving his wife Olivia Culpo and their four-week-old daughter, Colette Annalise McCaffrey, for the field.
“I feel guilty at times,” Christian explained in an August 5 interview with the NFL Network. “I’m sleeping well in the hotel bedroom while she’s doing the dirty work. But I’m super thankful for her and she’s doing an incredible job.”
But the running back isn’t always far from his family, as Olivia, 33—who welcomed Colette via C-section in July—and her mom have occasionally traveled to his training camp in California. In fact, the couple’s newborn has “been to a couple practices now.”
“It’s been incredible,” the 29-year-old continued. “Getting over practice, whether you’ve had a good day or bad day, and just being able to go there and see your daughter. It’s very special.”
Though Christian misses having downtime with his daughter, he noted that his wife has helped him be a present dad while also focusing on his football career.
“I think you just change some of the stuff that you do when you’re not training,” he shared. “My wife and our families do such a great job in helping out when needed and allowing me to still train and keep football first.”

And as the NFL star finds his footing on the field, Olivia is building their daughter’s closet with some at-home fashion staples. Indeed, the former Miss Universe shared a sweet photo of her and Colette twinning in their fluffy brown robes.
“Mommy-daughter matching,” Olivia wrote on her July 17 Instagram post, before joking about her postpartum journey. “Diapers and all.”
