San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey and former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo welcomed their second child, a baby boy named Roman Augustus McCaffrey, on September 29, according to reports. The couple shared the news through a joint Instagram post featuring black-and-white photographs from the delivery room.
Private Arrival on September 29
The couple kept the birth private for several days before announcing it publicly on Saturday, according to 2001online.com. The initial social media post included images of Culpo in a hospital bed holding the infant while McCaffrey stood beside her in medical scrubs. Daily Mail noted that one slide captured Culpo smiling alongside McCaffrey while preparing for a C-section birth.
Introduction to Big Sister Colette
The newborn was introduced to his 14-month-old sister, Colette, who was born in July 2025, 2001online.com reported. The tight age gap means the siblings share a separation of just over a year. Culpo previously shared on TikTok in May that she was four months pregnant only six months after welcoming Colette, noting she did not plan the second pregnancy so quickly and had concerns about healing from her previous C-section.
