San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey and Olivia Culpo are expecting their first child, and the former Miss Universe winner made sure to pamper the ‘baby daddy’ on his 29th birthday. McCaffrey was born on June 7, 1977, and received a heartwarming tribute from Culpo on his birthday.
Christian McCaffrey Receives Heartwarming Birthday Tribute From Wife Olivia Culpo
Culpo had prepared a delicious breakfast for McCaffrey for the occasion, and while no cake-cutting celebrations appeared to have taken place, let’s just say the joy in the running back’s eyes was undeniable.
“Bday tings for the bday king,” Culpo captioned the picture on her Instagram story.
The 2012 Miss Universe then reposted a picture of them sharing a kiss and requested her followers to wish a belated birthday to McCaffrey, whom she sweetly called the “baby daddy.”
The couple began their relationship in 2019 after the running back liked one of the latter’s Instagram posts. They were spotted on vacation together that summer, and soon after, Culpo started showing up at Carolina Panthers’ (McCaffrey’s team at the time) games.
They became an official couple during that season and quickly appeared in each other’s social media posts. The pair stayed together through McCaffrey’s trade to San Francisco, and Culpo showered massive praise on the 49ers’ back while explaining why she broke her rule to never date another athlete in an interview with “Entertainment Tonight.”
“He’s just the best, I feel like he is really everything that I could ever ask for,” she said. “So I never have to worry about anything. I think that was the reason why I didn’t want to date an athlete, no offense, because there is a reputation there.
“He just comes from a great family. We have a lot in common in that respect. I feel like you can really tell who a person is by the people that raise them, and I just love his parents so much. They have a great relationship.”
The couple got engaged in the spring of 2023 during a vacation in Utah and had an engagement party later that summer. They were married last summer and announced they were pregnant earlier this year in March 2025. The couple hasn’t revealed the gender of their child yet.
Culpo Goes Viral For Hilariously Pretending To Kill McCaffrey in Viral TikTok
Culpo recently made headlines by sharing a video where she pretended to “kill” McCaffrey after the running back insulted the size of her baby bump. MLFootball’s account posted the viral clip X, and it starts with Culpo asking McCaffrey, “Can you believe the baby is the size of a pineapple?” To which he responds, “No way — your belly is way bigger than the size of a pineapple.”

It then cuts to Culpo trying to pull McCaffrey’s body out of the room by his ankles. The running back has a shopping bag over his head to cover up where his wife “killed” him.
McCaffrey is coming off a rough season in 2024, where he missed 13 games due to injuries, and as he steps into fatherhood, the 29-year-old will be itching to get back to his 2023 form, where he made the Pro Bowl and All-Pro teams.
