Aurora Culpo is an Auntie! Olivia Culpo Welcomes First Child with Christian McCaffrey

Olivia Culpo just promoted herself from Miss Universe alum to full-time mom—and her big sister, Barely Filtered host Aurora Culpo, is already flexing her new auntie status. 

According to The New York Post, Culpo and San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey introduced baby Colette Annalise McCaffrey to the world, sprinkling Instagram with black-and-white hospital snaps. 

The moment caps a whirlwind 16 months for the couple—an ultra-lux Rhode Island wedding, a headline-grabbing pregnancy reveal, and now the tiniest teammate on the roster. Culpo called childbirth “the scariest, most rewarding experience,” according to The Cut, while McCaffrey, beaming at the bassinet, landed an early nomination for Rookie Dad of the Year.

And yes, if you’re into astrology, Colette’s July 13 arrival officially makes her a Cancer. We’ll leave it to The Balanced Blonde to do a deeper dive on her full astrological chart, however.

Meet baby Colette Annalise McCaffrey

Culpo, 33, and McCaffrey, 29, kept the labor room play-by-play short and sweet; no official birthweight or delivery suite playlist. What we do know is that Colette arrived healthy, the new mom looked suspiciously camera-ready, and the NFL star never let go of her hand.

It’s a milestone that Olivia Culpo once worried she might never reach. Back in March, she revealed a rough first trimester complete with pneumonia and a subchorionic hematoma that forced several weeks of bed rest. “I was bleeding everywhere…but there was still a heartbeat,” Culpo recalled at the time. 

Inside the Culpo-McCaffrey love story

Fans have been following this romance since the duo’s soft launch in 2019. McCaffrey’s sunset proposal on Lake Como made waves in April 2023, and their Watch Hill Chapel “I do’s”—complete with Ocean House reception and 50,000 imported white roses—set the bar for unions everywhere. Culpo later told Vogue she wanted the weekend to “include the gravitas of the moment,” and you could practically hear Pinterest boards exploding.

On McCaffrey’s side, 2024 was bittersweet: his first Super Bowl appearance, followed by an injury-marred season. Now, while the 49ers star rehabs for a bounce-back year, he’s also knee-deep in burp cloths.

Sisters, showers, and that podcast confessional

Of course, a Culpo family headline isn’t complete without a little sisterly spice. In early May, Aurora told Gia Giudice’s Casual Chaos podcast that she and Olivia Culpo got into a “massive fight” when she skipped a Denver baby sprinkle that coincided with her own birthday. “She lost it on us, saying we’re the worst sisters,” Aurora admitted, while waving screenshots of Olivia’s earlier “don’t worry about coming” text for proof. 

Aurora, 35, insisted that travel fatigue and exhaustion as a mom of two—not shade—kept her away. Younger sister Sophia Culpo, however, also bailed, prompting Olivia to grumble that the bar for sisterly support “couldn’t be lower.” As Aurora recounted, Olivia’s third trimester hormones were “very pregnant and emotional,” but she predicted her sibling would “get over it” once the baby arrived. 

By late May, the Rhode Island baby shower snapped the trio side-by-side, and Aurora confirmed the rift with Olivia had healed, though Sophia was still on a communication timeout.

Family goals moving forward

If Colette’s debut teaches us anything, it’s that new life has a way of rewriting family scripts. The Culpo sisters built an entire TLC reality show on tight-knit bonds, so betting against a reunion feels silly, particularly when a fresh baby smell is involved.

Meanwhile, Olivia adjusts to postpartum recovery, McCaffrey dives into diaper duty between training camp reps, and Aurora is enjoying the auntie life. The Barely Filtered listeners can probably expect nipple cream reviews and stroller-friendly Pilates chatter any minute.

Welcome to the world, Colette Annalise. The glam life starts now.

Over 50 & Flourishing
Welcome to Over 50 & Flourishing, the show for any woman who feels like she lost her compass in the sea of midlife. I’m here to tell you it’s never too late to change your course and awaken the healthy, wise, and wonderful woman within. My name is Dominique Sachse, and I love to ask questions, which was why I spent nearly three decades of my life in the TV news business. I also started a YouTube channel in 2014 to connect intimately with my community, and I took an even deeper dive in my book Life Makeover - Embrace The Bold, Beautiful and Blessed You. I’ll be the first to say, I’ve made mistakes, and I’m not afraid to be vulnerable and learn from them. I mean let’s face it, this stage of life can be complicated. Children are moving out, relationships are being examined, our parents are aging, and we’re having to manage all of this along with our menopause! It’s easy to lose sight of ourselves, but can I just say.. we matter. So, whether it’s finding ways to enhance and celebrate our own beauty, taking bold steps toward living our best life in the second half of life, finding ways to be healthier, happier, and more spiritually connected, I will bring you thinkers and innovators who share the same passion of flushing out these ideas. It’s my goal to leave us all feeling inspired, thought and intent-driven, and with a sense of purpose in whatever we pursue. Let’s celebrate growing older together and embrace our Prime. It’s our time!

Live From Bed
Live From Bed is your official invitation to hide from the world with me — your permission slip to unravel out loud. Every Wednesday, I pull the covers over my head and drag my favorite people in with me — from internet sensations to experts — to celebrate our bad habits, worst traits, and the internal monologues that probably make both our therapists and the group chat nervous. We talk about the friendships that downgraded from ride-or-die to ‘hope you're well’, the plans we’re praying get canceled, the milestones we’re nowhere near — and the texts we wish we hadn’t sent. If your best friend’s ignoring your FaceTime… and you’ve already messed up one too many social interactions this week, this is your place. No unsolicited advice. No annoying success stories. Just the things we all think but wish someone else would say first — and a whole lot of commiserating.
