Best of news of the season for 49ers’ Christian McCaffrey who melts hearts on Olivia Culpo’s Instagram
San Francisco’s star running back has a new highlight for his reel... but it’s not one that took place on the field.


Christian McCaffrey won’t take another official snap until September, but he’s already likely notched his biggest win of the season. The San Francisco 49ers’ All-Pro running back and wife Olivia Culpo welcomed their first child, sharing the news in a joint Instagram post Sunday.
What is Christian McCaffrey’s child called?
The post, a black-and-white collage, took us inside the delivery room and featured touching moments of the couple each holding their newborn daughter. The caption read simply her name: “Colette Annalise McCaffrey.”
Culpo followed with a series of Instagram stories that tugged on heartstrings. One showed McCaffrey holding Colette with the caption: “Colette is so lucky to have the best daddy in the world. A love like no other.” Another image caught him comforting his wife during labor, with her writing: “The scariest and most rewarding of all experiences. As soon as he came into the room I felt most at peace.”
The couple, who tied the knot just last month, announced the pregnancy back in March. Now, they’re settling into life as a family of three - just in time for McCaffrey’s offseason recovery to come full circle. We’ll have to wait and see what his first touchdown celebration will be: sucking thumb, rocking the arms etc. Your guess is as good as mine.
