Olivia Culpo is excited for her next adventure with fiancé Christian McCaffrey!
On Friday, the 31-year-old model shared sweet photos on Instagram of the couple in matching white outfits, noting that she is grateful for the San Francisco 49ers running back.
“Thanking God for a healthy season and for putting my best friend on this earth. Now let’s get married!,” Culpo captioned the images.
“Love you ❤️❤️❤️,” McCaffrey, 27, replied on Culpo’s post, which also features their goldendoodle Oliver Sprinkles Culpo McCaffrey.
The pair, who began dating 2019 after being set up by friends, got engaged last April when McCaffrey got down on one knee during a getaway to Utah.
Last November, Culpo told Entertainment Tonight that she was willing to break her rule against dating athletes again after her previous failed relationships because McCaffrey was different.
“He’s just the best, I feel like he is really everything that I could ever ask for,” she said of McCaffrey. “So I never have to worry about anything. I think that was the reason why I didn’t want to date an athlete, no offense, because there is a reputation there.”
Culpo continued, “He just comes from a great family. We have a lot in common in that respect. I feel like you can really tell who a person is by the people that raise them, and I just love his parents so much. They have a great relationship.”
Shortly after the couple began dating, the former Miss Universe became a fixture on the sidelines of Carolina Panthers games, where McCaffrey played after being drafted by the franchise in 2017.

In October 2022, McCaffrey was traded to the 49ers — and Culpo couldn’t have been more supportive.
“I’m so proud of you Christian! Seeing your light shine is one of my favorite things in life and I’m beyond excited and grateful for this next chapter in Cali,” she wrote on Instagram. “Niners Nation, let’s go!”

In October, the model also teased details about her upcoming wedding on TikTok and joked about her plans to welcome a baby after they say “I do.”
“I feel like the day after my wedding, I’m just gonna rip out my IUD and start trying immediately,” Culpo said as she put her makeup on before visiting her wedding venue.
She then spent the remainder of the two-minute video detailing more about her relationship with McCaffrey and their upcoming wedding.
“For a while, I thought I was gonna be a bachelorette, but here we are now,” she shared of her doubts about finding “the one.”
Culpo continued, “Pray for your future husband. That’s what worked for me. I got down on my hands and knees and I said, ‘God, please, show me a better way.’ I wrote down exactly what I wanted. I wrote down so many specific things.”
