Olivia Culpo showcased her unwavering support for husband and San Francisco 49ers star Christian McCaffrey during a recent game against the Atlanta Falcons on October 19, 2023. The couple’s daughter, Colette, who is just four months old, was not present, but Culpo made her enthusiasm clear by sharing lively footage on her Instagram Stories.
In a playful clip, Culpo, 33, celebrated McCaffrey’s impressive touchdown with visible excitement, jumping and cheering while holding her pumping bra. The 49ers ultimately triumphed over the Falcons, finishing the game with a score of 20-10. Dressed in a low-cut tank top, blue denim Levi’s jeans, an oversized blazer, and a red cap, Culpo captured the spirit of the event at Levi’s Stadium, where she was joined by friends.
Earlier that day, Culpo humorously detailed her game-day preparations, noting that she opted to wear a hands-free pumping garment following a wedding celebration the night before. “This is my pumping bra. I went to a wedding last night and I had two martinis, and I swear, I was poisoned,” she shared in an Instagram Story. “I’ve never felt so horrible in my entire life.” She added, “It was my first time having to pump and dump,” highlighting the realities of balancing motherhood and supporting her husband.
Culpo’s light-hearted tone continued as she expressed her discomfort, saying, “I wish I could wear a mask over my head because I feel so horrible. I’m never drinking again. I’m just not a good drinker.” Her choice of attire was strategic, as she mentioned needing to wear a tank top due to her pumping schedule throughout the game.
Supportive displays of affection were evident, with Culpo and friends holding handmade signs to cheer on McCaffrey. One sign humorously spelled out the initials of the NFL star in bold red letters, while another read, “Go Colette’s dad.”
Culpo also shared a glimpse into her game-day bag, which contained her breast pump equipment. In another Instagram Story, she posted a touching moment of Colette being bottle-fed at home while Sunday Night Football played in the background, captioning it, “Meanwhile at home.”
Having started their relationship in 2019 and tying the knot in June 2024, Culpo has consistently supported McCaffrey throughout this NFL season. She has embraced the team spirit, often donning 49ers colors and dressing Colette in tiny team onesies.
McCaffrey, 29, has expressed gratitude for Culpo’s support, acknowledging the challenges of parenthood. In an interview with the NFL Network on August 5, he admitted to experiencing “dad guilt” at times, saying, “I feel guilty at times. I’m sleeping well in the hotel bedroom while [Olivia’s] doing the dirty work. But I’m super thankful for her and she’s doing an incredible job.”
Culpo’s blend of humor, dedication, and love for her family demonstrates the challenges and joys of being a supportive partner in the spotlight of professional sports.
