49ers Christian McCaffrey Leaves Newborn Daughter for Training Camp

Christian McCaffrey, star running back for the San Francisco 49ers, has begun his first NFL training camp as a new father, leaving behind his wife, former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo, and their newborn daughter, Colette Annalise McCaffrey. Olivia Culpo shared heartfelt messages on social media expressing how much they will miss him and highlighting the challenges she faced during her pregnancy, including pneumonia and a subchorionic hematoma, which required extended bed rest. McCaffrey missed significant time in the 2024 season due to injuries but is fully healthy and aiming for a strong bounce-back campaign in 2025, with coach Kyle Shanahan emphasizing careful management of his playing time. The couple married in June 2024, and their daughter was born in July; Olivia posted touching photos from the hospital, including one during her C-section with McCaffrey by her side. McCaffrey has been recognized as one of the NFL's best running backs, earning multiple All-Pro selections and the 2023 NFL Offensive Player of the Year award. As training camp progresses, McCaffrey balances his professional ambitions with the new responsibilities of fatherhood.
