Earlier this month, it was Culpo gushed over his fatherly duties in an adorable post to her Instagram story – showing McCaffrey some love, while he holds 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.
Among those images included in the birth announcement was 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.’
