With NFL training camps set to get into full swing in the coming days, players are already off to get ready for a grueling upcoming season.
Add San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey to that list. The star rusher went off to camp on Monday, leaving wife Olivia Culpo at home with their newborn daughter.
Culpo, a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, gave birth to a daughter – Colette Annalise McCaffrey – earlier this month.
McCaffrey’s wife gushed over him in an adorable post to her Instagram story – showing the new dad giving some love to their daughter.
‘Best daddy in the world goes to camp today. Everyone go wish him luck @christianmccaffrey,’ Culpo posted.
She added, ‘We’re going to miss him so much’ with a crying emoji.

Culpo was open about multiple issues she experienced during her pregnancy
The couple announced the arrival of Colette back on July 13 in a joint Instagram post which included a carousel of black-and-white pH๏τos of the family in the hospital.
Among those images included one where McCaffrey was seen holding Culpo’s hand as she underwent a C-section.
The Rhode Island native and former Miss USA and Miss Universe in 2012 has been open about the difficulties of her pregnancy.
In a TikTok post from March, Culpo revealed that she had ‘pneumonia and I was sick also for two weeks… I’ve truly been on bed rest for four weeks.’
She added, ‘Towards the end of two weeks of being really sick, I got a subchorionic hematoma’. A subchorionic hematoma – or a subchorionic hemmorhage – is a condition where there’s bleeding between the wall of the uterus and one of the sacs (chorion) which enclose the embryo in the uterus, according to the NIH’s National Library of Medicine.
‘So at this point, I was so exhausted, like two weeks of just not being able to move and then all of a sudden just purging,’ Culpo explained.
‘It was a lot. It was heavy… I went to the doctor and it was really exciting to see that there was still a heartbeat.’
Thankfully, Colette was born healthy and the couple have been in the early stages of raising her ever since.
She was born less than a year after the husband and wife tied the knot in the Watch Hill neighborhood of Westerly, Rhode Island. The ceremony took place at a chapel before a lavish reception at the famous and historic Ocean House H๏τel.
