Christian McCaffrey and Olivia Culpo Share Heart-Warming Family News

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey has a new reason to be motivated to perform this season - it will be his first season as a father.

McCaffrey and his wife Olivia Culpo shared photos of their newborn daughter on Sunday, welcoming Colette Annalise McCaffrey to the world.

The star ball-carrier and former Miss USA winner announced they were having a baby via Culpo's Instagram on March 10 with a series of photos from a pregnancy shoot.

Colette's arrival comes just over a year since her parents married on June 29, 2024 during the offseason after "CMC" helped lead his 49ers to Super Bowl LVIII, where they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in February of last year.

This special time for McCaffrey and his family leads up to what is sure to be a season driven by focus and determination for the 49ers.

Last season after their Super Bowl berth, San Francisco was ravaged by injuries and played below their standards, leading to a 6-11 season in which they missed the playoffs entirely.

McCaffrey, in particular, missed 13 of the team's 17 games with Achilles and knee troubles.

The former All-Pro running back has vowed that he is fully healthy this offseason and ready to rebound from a disappointing season. When fully available, the Niners have enough firepower to contend not just in the NFC West but the conference as a whole.

A motivated McCaffrey is a huge factor in that.

And the new father now has a little bundle of joy to play for as he enters his ninth season in the NFL.
