A fairy tale proposal

Culpo and McCaffrey, the star running back for the San Francisco 49ers, have been together since 2019. McCaffrey proposed last April with a stunning oval-cut engagement ring featuring side stones from Ring Concierge. The proposal came just months before the 49ers' dominant 2023 season, where they finished with a 12-5 record and reached the Super Bowl.

Before the big championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs in Las Vegas, McCaffrey praised Culpo for her wedding planning efforts. Speaking to "Extra" in February, he said, "She's done a hell of a job. She's steering the ship with the wedding plans, and her style is unbelievable. I'm grateful to have her , allowing me to focus on football while she manages everything else."

The former Miss Universe was a ive presence during San Francisco's postseason run, even though the 49ers lost to the Chiefs in a dramatic overtime finish, 25-22. Reflecting on the season, Culpo shared her excitement for the future on Instagram, posting, "Thanking God for a healthy season and for putting my best friend on this earth. Now let's get married!"

Olivia is a girl of traditions

In a recent interview with People, Culpo revealed one traditional element they will be incorporating into their wedding day. "We're not going to do a first look," she said. "Christian won't see me until I'm walking down the aisle. I think it adds a special touch."

As McCaffrey gears up for his second full season with the 49ers, the three-time Pro Bowler looks forward to balancing his thriving football career with his wedding. McCaffrey, who began his NFL journey with the Carolina Panthers in 2017 as the eighth overall draft pick out of Stanford, was traded to the 49ers in October 2022.

With their wedding day fast approaching, Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey are ready to start their new life together, blending love, sports, and a bit of Hollywood glamour.
