The Truth About Olivia Culpo And Christian McCaffrey's Relationship

The San Francisco 49ers' Christian McCaffrey may have suffered an ankle injury during his time as a Carolina Panther in 2020, according to the team's website, but the NFL hunk's relationship with model Olivia Culpo didn't slow down amid the setback. The couple — who celebrated their one-year anniversary in June 2020 — was introduced by fellow model Kristen Louelle and her husband Tyler Gaffney, before fans started noticing them liking each other's photo on Instagram, OK! reported. After that, they were spotted for the first time together at a beach in Cabo.

More recently, the Sports Illustrated model and the running back kicked off the 2020 NFL season with a steamy photo she posted of them cuddling in the ocean with the caption, "ITS GAME DAY !! !! lets goooo." This wasn't the only time Culpo showed her support for McCaffrey. After he posted an Instagram about his injury in September, his model girlfriend commented, "I love you!!!!!!!", and in another photo with their adorable pup, Culpo referred to them as her "best friends."

Christian McCaffrey, who is the highest-paid running back in NFL history, obtained a $64 million contract extension with the Panthers in 2020, according to Sport Illustrated. After the exciting news broke, he and former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo purchased a castle-like mansion. The NFL star isn't just shattering records through football; Mansion Global reported his French Chateau-inspired house broke the price record for the Charlotte, North Carolina area, selling at $7.5 million.

While property records don't clarify if they jointly own the house on Lake Norman, Nick Jonas' former girlfriend is already making herself at home, posing for a photo with McCaffrey and their dog in front of the six-bedroom mansion, as well as photos of her decorating the home for fall and sitting on the spiral staircase.

The two are sure to create even more picture-worthy memories in their new home!

After nearly four years of being in a relationship, Christian McCaffrey decided to get down on one knee and pop the question to Olivia Culpo. The couple announced the exciting news on social media with different photos from the special day. The carousel of images included the moment McCaffrey asked Culpo to marry him and the reactions after the exciting engagement. Culpo captioned the photos with the date of their engagement, she wrote, "4.2.23."

Not long after the engagement, Culpo revealed on Amazon Live (via People) in April 2023 that the couple was wasting no time planning their wedding. She shared, "It's so much work. My parents want us to get married in Newport, I don't know about that. I do like the idea of mountains, so we will see." Eventually, Culpo decided to go with a venue much more sentimental to her. In a TikTok video in October 2023, she revealed the two will be getting married in her home state of Rhode Island.

Since deciding on the venue, Culpo has had many more wedding festivities. In November 2023, the influencer spammed her social media with content from her thrilling bachelorette in Cabo San Lucas. It's only a matter of time before the two walk down the aisle, and if it's anything like the pre-wedding festivities, it will sure be fun and beautiful.

Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey are truly couple goals. The two support one another in everything they do — Culpo is constantly on the sidelines of many games as she cheers her beau on, now as a San Francisco 49er. In January 2024, the influencer posted snaps from a playoff game with photos of her and McCaffrey. She captioned her post, "That was fun. thank you @kristinjuszczyk for the amazing fit and @christianmccaffrey for being you." With the 49ers having an incredible 2023 and 2024 season, we wouldn't be surprised if they made it all the way to the Super Bowl with Culpo cheering her man and the team on.

The love and support in this relationship isn't one-sided. Just like how Culpo supports McCaffrey's career, he does the same. In July 2020, Culpo was featured in Vogue India and revealed on Instagram that the football star was the one to shoot her photos. McCaffrey is constantly showing his admiration for the model. When she was featured in a 2019 issue of Sports Illustrated, the 49ers star shared a video from the shoot on his Instagram story with the caption, "Proud of you! @oliviaculpo," per the New York Post. In everything they do, Culpo and McCaffrey are there for one another no matter what.
