Christian McCaffrey’s wife, Olivia Culpo, proved that she is his biggest supporter with her game-day dedication in the 49ers-Seahawks game.
It is very evident that Christian McCaffrey has taken a step back and can’t stay healthy. The 49ers must start preparing for life without McCaffrey, as retirement is on the horizon.
Highlights
- Christian McCaffrey and Olivia Culpo tied the knot in Rhode Island on June 29, 2024.
- Olivia Culpo has won Miss Rhode Island USA, Miss USA 2012, and Miss Universe 2012.
- After dating for a year, Culpo revealed on Instagram that McCaffrey had named his boat after her.
Running backs typically retire around age 28 or 29, and McCaffrey is 28. Not to mention, Christian has had plenty of wear and tear playing over seven seasons so far.
During that span, he has had 1347 carries for 6387 yards and 52 touchdowns while having 524 catches for 4466 yards and 29 touchdowns.
In all his playing time, he has suffered a pedal-high ankle sprain, shoulder joint sprain, hamstring strain, calf strain, Achilles sprain, and now a knee injury that landed him on IR.
It is clear how much McCaffrey impacts the 49ers offense and how much Kyle Shanahan relies on him.
However, after returning from IR with an Achilles Tendinitis injury, McCaffrey quickly saw an expanded workload.
With the current situation in San Francisco, having a strong run game to open up the pass for the quarterback, in this case, Brock Purdy, is crucial for the team to succeed.
Without it, the offense stalls and can’t be productive. With McCaffrey not being able to make an impact like he once used to, plus Jordan Mason being a free agent after the season, the 49ers must look for a running back to replace McCaffrey.

Nearly a year later, in 2021, Culpo and McCaffrey showed they were still going firm when the model revealed through an Instagram story that McCaffrey had named his boat after her.
In the video, Culpo asks, “What’s the name of the boat?” before panning to the word “Olivia” written in the script.
During their vacation at Amangiri in Utah, the NFL player got down on the knee and proposed to Culpo. The pair announced their engagement on April 7, 2023, through an Instagram post.
In an exclusive interview, Culpo talked about what it’s like to be engaged. She said,
“I’m so excited,” “It’s been the thrill of a lifetime, honestly.”

A few days later, during an Amazon Live, she told fans that wedding planning is underway. She said,
“It’s so much work,” said Culpo, who hopes to get married sooner rather than later because she wants to start having kids. “My parents want us to get married in Newport, I don’t know about that. I do like the idea of mountains, so we will see.”

McCaffrey and Culpo’s engagement party occurred in Rhode Island in July 2023. All their guests were asked to wear white. The event included an ice cream bar, a cupcake tower, and champagne.
The couple tied the knot on June 29, 2024, in Watch Hil, Rhode Island. Culpo explained to Vigue that Christian’s one request was to get married in a church.
Culpo walked down the aisle in a custom Dolce & Gabbana dress that the model described as “timeless, covered and elegant.”
She paired that gown with a 16-foot lace veil. Culpo said,
“I didn’t want it to exude sex in any way, shape, or form,”. “I wanted it to feel effortless and as if it’s complimenting me, not overpowering me. There’s so much beauty and simplicity.”
