Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey are embarking on an exciting new journey as they expand their beloved family! The stunning 32-year-old model and the dynamic 28-year-old running back for the San Francisco 49ers have joyfully announced their upcoming arrival of their first bundle of joy, sharing the heartwarming news through an enchanting Instagram post. Alongside black-and-white maternity photos, Culpo penned, "Next chapter, motherhood," radiating anticipation and joy.
In one captivating snapshot, Culpo wears a flowing dress, kneeling gracefully with a tender hand resting beneath her burgeoning belly. Another photo captures her turning towards the camera, a hand elegantly placed on her hip, exuding both radiance and elegance.
Their love story took a formal vow in June 2024, when Culpo and McCaffrey tied the knot in her hometown of Rhode Island. In an intimate conversation with Vogue prior to their wedding, Culpo described marriage as a "covenant," emphasizing, "It’s the beginning of the rest of your life, and it’s the eternal union and unbreakable bond between two souls." This profound sentiment was mirrored in her wedding gown – a bespoke Dolce & Gabbana creation that she deemed as "solemn as the commitment it represented."
"When I envision Christian and the moments he finds me most beautiful, it's undoubtedly in attire like this: timeless, demure, and exquisite," the model added with a smile.
Months before her wedding went viral, Culpo, a former Miss Universe, eagerly expressed her desire to "start trying immediately" for children upon tying the knot with her NFL star spouse.
Fast forward to after their June nuptials, Culpo's sisters, Sophia and Aurora – the latter a mother of two – exclusively shared with PEOPLE in October how they were witnessing the newlyweds adapt their lives with parenthood on the horizon. Aurora noted the subtle yet significant changes in Culpo's home decor, saying with a chuckle, "Already, I can see that her house has transcended its all-white and beige palette. I teased her, 'You're realizing minimalist chic might not suit your future needs!'"
Sophia echoed this sentiment, portraying her sister as a "thorough perfectionist through and through," acknowledging, "Perfectionism is a luxury you can't afford with kids." Aurora, brimming with affection, added, "I know Olivia will be a devoted and meticulously prepared mother. She's probably already scouting out preschools and might even be on the waitlist! Her love for planning is evident in every aspect of her life."
