Olivia Culpo is going to be a mom!
The former pageant queen is pregnant with her and her husband Christian McCaffrey’s first baby.
“next chapter, motherhood,” she captioned a pair of black-and-white maternity photos on Instagram Monday.
Culpo, 32, also shared a video of her and the NFL player, 28, holding hands and kissing in a grassy field as the mom-to-be posed in a long white dress.
Prior to announcing she was expecting, the model was photographed in late February cradling her baby bump while grabbing takeout in Los Angeles.
She wore a light gray sweatsuit with an open black fleece jacket that she eventually zipped up.
Culpo accessorized her cozy look with platform Uggs and wore her long hair in loose waves.
The brunette beauty first sparked pregnancy speculation in October 2024 after she posted an Instagram photo dump that included a picture of McCaffrey with his hand on her belly.
The couple got married in June 2024 in a Rhode Island ceremony, one year after the San Francisco 49ers running back got down on one knee.
They began dating in 2019.
Throughout their relationship, the “Culpo Sisters” star spoke candidly about her plans to have children — and her fertility fears due to endometriosis.
“I want to have kids, but I want to make sure that I can,” she said in a 2022 episode of her family’s reality show. “It could be really hard for me to have babies.”
She explained, “Endometriosis can affect your fertility in a lot of different ways. You can have endometrial tissue growing near or on your ovaries, it can affect the quality of your eggs, scar your fallopian tubes.
“There is so much that I don’t know about what’s going to happen in the future with that condition, and I worry all the time about my timeline,” Culpo continued at the time. “I feel like I have to have kids ASAP.”
Later that year, she clarified that McCaffrey was “on the same page about having kids.”
Culpo noted that the “timeline [was] … not in the foreseeable future” due to her partner’s career.
“He is completely and totally focused on football, and he should be,” the “Masked Singer” alum told viewers. “He’s not ready to have kids. It’s not really an option.
“I always thought that by 30 I’d be married and have kids,” she added. “I’m definitely the kind of person who likes to have a plan. Right now, I have no plan because I have so many question marks, so I’m freaking out.”
Culpo confessed to feeling “very, very stress[ed]” about their future family plans.
The following year, she told her TikTok followers about her plan to “rip out [her] IUD and start trying immediately” after walking down the aisle.
The actress is already an aunt, as her sister Aurora Culpo shares son Remi, 6, and daughter Soleil, 4, with ex-husband Michael “Mikey” Bortone.
