Olivia Culpo has heaped praise on Christian McCaffrey, her husband.
Olivia Culpo “knew” Christian McCaffrey would be a “really good dad”.
The 33-year-old model and the 29-year-old NFL star welcomed their daughter Colette into the world in July, and Olivia admits that her husband has already proven to be a great dad.
The brunette beauty told Us Weekly: “I always knew he would be a really good dad because he’s a really good person. He has a really good example because his parents are great.”
Olivia is convinced that Christian will always be a “good example and protector” for their daughter.
She said: “He will be such a good example and protector to her. I know that she’ll always be able to feel like she has someone who loves her more than anything. I feel like everybody deserves to feel that.”
Olivia revealed, too, that she’s close with her own dad, Peter Culpo.
The model shared: “I’m also so close with my dad, and I appreciate what a great father he is for me, and I really do feel like I’m a daddy’s girl.
“I just feel like that’s what they’re going to be like, too. It’s a really beautiful thing to see so early on. She loves her dad, and little girls really do. You see the way that they light up with their dad.”
Meanwhile, Olivia previously confessed to suffering a “little bit of an identity crisis” after giving birth.
Speaking on The Squeeze podcast, Olivia shared: “There’s totally a shift.
“Whether or not you want there to be or not, you have somebody that’s physically dependent on you. So, I’m not going to sugarcoat it: Yeah, it’s scary.”
Olivia has been career-focused for many years, and she worries how she’ll balance motherhood and her modelling career.
Olivia – who married Christian in 2024 – said: “I’m just kind of a worry wart that way, like I’m very ambitious.”
Despite this, the model admitted to relishing the challenges of motherhood.
She said: “It’s been so fun.
“Every day is so different and I’m really just trying to sit in because I know it goes by so fast. Everybody says these are the days that go by quicker than you could have ever imagined.”
