Olivia Culpo welcomes first baby with Christian McCaffrey. ‘Look at the grip'
The superstar couple, who celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary on June 29, took to Instagram on July 13 to announce the birth of their first baby together.
In the caption, Culpo revealed the name of her newborn baby girl: Colette Annalise McCaffrey.
Colette, a shortened form of Nicolette meaning 'victory of the people' in Greek (via Nicholas), has been listed in the Social Security Administration's (SSA) top 1,000 every year since 2012.
It most recently ranked 400th in the U.S. with 789 recorded births in 2024, per the SSA.
But, in the eyes of Culpo and McCaffrey, Colette is one-of-one.
'Luckiest man on the planet,' McCaffrey, a running back for the San Francisco 49ers, wrote next to a photo of him and Colette on his Instagram Stories.
'The scariest and most rewarding of all experiences,' Culpo wrote in an Instagram story of her own. 'As soon as (McCaffrey) came into the room I felt most at peace. Look at the grip.'
In a separate story, Culpo praised McCaffrey as the 'best daddy in the world.'
Many of the couple's close friends and colleagues took to the comment section to congratulate them on the new arrival.
'Oh sweet girl you are so loved already. Welcome to the world angel. Love y'all so much,' wrote Natalie Stewart, the wife of retired running back Jonathan Stewart.
'Congratulations!!!! so happy!' added Morgan Romano, who was crowned Miss USA in 2022.
'Colette you have no idea how loved you are already! The luckiest little lady with two of the best to call mom & dad LOVE YOU ALL!!!' wrote Kathleen Messier, who married McCaffrey's brother, Max, in June.
Culpo has 'been dreaming of this' moment for a long time
Culpo, a former Miss USA and Miss Universe winner, revealed her pregnancy in March on Instagram with a black-and-white photo showing off her baby bump in a dress.
'Next chapter, motherhood,' she wrote in the caption on March 10.
In an interview with People, published March 26, Culpo opened up about what she's looking forward to as a first-time mom.
'I'm so excited and grateful to be pregnant. I've been dreaming of this for a long time,' she said at the time. 'It's very special.'
One of the things she was looking forward to the most was making 'traditions' with her new family.
'It is fun growing your family with someone that you really love and just being able to see Christian as a dad will be really exciting,' she told People.
'I just know he's going to be such a good partner and husband and father,' she added. 'I can't wait to see him step into that role. It will just be unlike any other experience.'
On May 18, the couple took to Instagram to share a video of gender predictions from their baby shower.
'I am your mom and I have no idea what you are. I thought you were a boy, now everyone thinks you're a girl, so I think you're a girl, but watch you be a boy,' Culpo said at the start of the video.
'I'm your dad and I think you're going to be a boy,' McCaffrey added in the next clip.
One month later, the couple celebrated their first wedding anniversary — two weeks before their baby's birth.
'One year down, with something new, Soon it's more than just us two,' Culpo wrote in a caption on Instagram. 'Best day ever, best year ever… happy anniversary to the love of my life. So so thankful.'
McCaffrey and Culpo sparked dating rumors in 2019 and went Instagram official later that year.
The couple got engaged in 2023, per People, and tied the knot on June 29, 2024. And now they have a baby.

Labubu Love-Fest: Megan Thee Stallion Proudly Parades The Gifts Her Man, Her Man, Her Mannn, Klay Thompson Got Her
Now that Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson are Instagram official, they're not being shy about their relationship. Source: Justin Casterline / Dimitrios Kambouris Just a few days after hard-launching their romance, Megan Thee Stallion and her man are expanding their relationship to another app! The Houston native took to TikTok to post a video of the sweet gifts her 'man' got her, posting a six-minute video of her unboxing the Labubus from the NBA star. While she doesn't reference Klay directly, she's sitting on his lap during the unboxing, gushing over the figures as she opens each one and admitting blue is their favorite color as a couple. While Thompson spent a lot of his NBA career with the Golden State Warriors, he went to the Dallas Mavericks last year, which could explain their color choice. The baller never shows his face in the video, even getting shushed by the rapper when he starts to mumble in the background. But, still, she ends the TikTok thanking her man for the Labubus, referring to him as 'baby' a lot throughout the video. For some reason, Meg deleted the video from her TikTok page—but it doesn't seem like a negative mark on their relationship, as Klay's IG hard launch is still up. Rumors of a relationship between the stars first started last week, when Meg posted bikini pictures with a mystery man in the background. Fans immediately noticed that the man lounging in the background of her photoshoot looked like Thompson, and a few days later, the baller confirmed their relationship with a photo dump—including one picture of them sharing a kiss, and another of the pair holding hands. Prior to her recent pop-out, Megan Thee Stallion most recently dated Bulls player Torrey Craig in 2024. While the pair never announced their breakup, it seems like the Grammy winner kept it pushing after his ex threw some shade—plus, a model accused him of dirty dog DMing during the relationship. Now, she's on to bigger and better things, going from dating a bench-warmer to cuddling up with a future Hall of Famer. As for Thompson, he was most recently linked to Laura Harrier, though they kept their relationship fairly private.

LiAngelo Ball Files For Divorce From Pregnant Rashida Nicole After 3 Months, Estranged Wife Alleges Miss Nikki Baby's Been Harassing Her
'Tweaker' rapper LiAngelo Ball has filed for divorce from Rashida Nicole after a mere three months of marriage—and just days after she announced her pregnancy. Amid that drama, Rashida's speaking out to allege that her Ball's 'obsessed' ex, Miss Nikki Baby (Nikki Mudarris) has been harassing her. Source: As BOSSIP previously reported, before Rashida, Gelo was famously linked to reality star Miss Nikki Baby, with whom he shares two children. Their relationship spanned 3 and a half years together, but their split in February 2025 was far from amicable. Miss Nikki Baby took to social media, alleging that LiAngelo had abruptly 'decided to walk out on his kids and I and tell me he got someone else pregnant and now is creating a new life with her.' She expressed being 'beyond blind-sided by this whole thing,' calling it 'The ultimate betrayal.' Nikki also previously accused him of being a 'deadbeat,' claims which LiAngelo has refuted on multiple occasions. LiAngelo Ball and Rashida Nicole's relationship went public shortly after his split from Miss Nikki Baby in February 2025. According to HotNewHipHop, the former baller purchased a custom-made G-Wagon for his new girlfriend. Then, in May 2025, Rashida subliminally hinted that she and Gelo had secretly married through a subtle Instagram comment, leading to speculation that they had tied the knot. Just weeks later, TMZ reported that Rashida Nicole was pregnant, making this her second child and Ball's third child, following his two children with Miss Nikki Baby. 'Wish I had all the right words to describe this journey, but I guess if I had to define it, all I can truly say is: I'm grateful, terrified, anxious, nauseous, HANGRY…all of thee above,' Rashida wrote in an Instagram post. 'As a teen mom, I was always hesitant about going thru pregnancy and parenthood again. (Iykyk) I want to thank my daughter for being here for me during this process, always demonstrating unconditional LOVE & reassuring me that, 'Everything is alright!' And for now…I choose to protect my peace and this beautiful energy.' Despite Rashida alleging that she's 'protecting her peace,' she seemingly let that mantra go for a bit as she took social media Sunday, July 13, to address Miss Nikki Baby directly after she made explosive claims during an appearance on The Jason Lee Show. Miss Nikki Baby Alleged That Liangelo Ball Broke Up With Her Via Text, Told Her He Got Someone Else Pregnant In the interview, which aired Sunday, July 13, on the Zeus Network, Miss Nikki Baby alleged that Ball ended their relationship via text after getting another woman pregnant, presumably Rashida Nicole. According to Nikki, Ball started acting differently when their child was only four weeks old, before revealing the shocking news. 'He had a meeting in New York,' said Nikki. 'He didn't text me for like three days, he didn't answer, he always answers. He ended up texting me like, 'We need to talk when I come, it's really bad.'' After some back and forth, Nikki said she convinced him to stop delaying the news and come clean, jokingly asking if he had impregnated someone else. ''Yeah, we need to coparent, I got someone pregnant,'' she alleges the rapper told her. On Sunday, though Rashida didn't mention Nikki Baby by name, she appeared to address the claims in a fiery Instagram Story post, saying she's 'sooo tired of this bish keep talking about me,' and accused Gelo's ex of harassing her behind the scenes. 'This lady has harassed me the entire time…trying to have ppl call me to abort my baby, wishing death on my unborn child and so much more,' she wrote. Rashida, who confirmed her pregnancy on June 26, added that the drama has only fueled her. 'Thank you for all the free promo…while I'm baking this beautiful baby,' she said. 'Sit back, relax and enjoy the show bc I know I am…I'm just loading up!' LiAngelo Ball's divorce from Rashida Nicole was filed just a few days after her pregnancy announcement, and only three months into their alleged marriage. This swift move, given the new baby on the way, sparked widespread reactions across social media. Despite the internet chatter, Gelo appears to be largely unbothered by the public's opinion. He recently weighed in on the reactions during a chat with Billboard : 'When people conversate about my personal life, it don't touch me or bother me too much,' he told the outlet. 'Like I see it, of course, because you know, everybody got a phone, but it don't rub me the wrong way or nothing because nobody really go [through] what I go through every day. You not me, for real. So it don't mean sh*t, for real .' Ball went on to claim that the only reactions that truly matter to him are those of his friends and family, 'I don't even know half the people saying anything,' he asserted. 'And everybody I know rock with me. Sh*t, there it is. I be feeling good when I step out. Got love.' Ball has yet to publicly comment on the situation or confirm the reported divorce. Meanwhile, despite the personal drama, Gelo's music career appears to be flourishing. He has a new album titled League of My Own set to drop on July 18 via Def Jam Recordings, featuring collaborations with artists like Lil Wayne and GloRilla.
