Model Olivia Culpo and San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey welcomed their second child, a baby boy named Roman Augustus McCaffrey, born on September 29, as reported.
The Hospital Birth Announcement on Instagram
The couple shared the arrival of their newborn son through a joint Instagram post, publishing a carousel of black-and-white photographs from the hospital. The imagery features Culpo holding her newborn child in a hospital bed, a matching portrait of McCaffrey cradling the baby shortly after delivery, and a selfie captured during the birth process itself. According to Sports Illustrated reporting cited by KSTE, the delivery was timed around a scheduled 49ers off day to allow McCaffrey to be present.
Etymology and Meaning of the Baby Names
For their second child, Culpo and McCaffrey selected two traditional names with historical roots. The first name, Roman, originates from the Latin term Romanus and the Etruscan root ruma, signifying an inhabitant or citizen of the Roman Empire, carrying connotations of strength and classic structure in the United States. The second name, Augustus, derives from the Latin verb augere, meaning to increase or grow, translating to venerable, majestic, or worthy of great respect.
Family Context and Prior Pregnancy Milestones
The newborn joins an expanding household that includes older sister Colette, who was born on July 13, 2025. The family addition arrives roughly a year and two months after the couple’s debut as parents. Culpo originally announced her second pregnancy in May during her 34th birthday, sharing ultrasound imagery alongside McCaffrey and Colette before later releasing a video documenting how they informed their extended families.

Former 49er teammate Kyle Juszczyk announced his role in the child’s life by writing, “Roman, it is an honor to be your God father. Love, Uncle Juice,” accompanied by responses from his wife Kristin Juszczyk, media personality Erin Andrews, and actor Gary Owen. The official San Francisco 49ers social media channel also shared public well-wishes as the team prepared for a matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.
