A Love Story Leading to Parenthood
Culpo and McCaffrey tied the knot in June 2024 in Rhode Island, the model’s home state. In a pre-wedding interview with Vogue, she described marriage as a lifelong commitment, stating:
“It’s the beginning of the rest of your life, and it’s the union and bond of two people forever.”
Her sentiments were also reflected in her custom Dolce & Gabbana wedding gown, which she described as “timeless, covered, and elegant”, aligning with her husband’s appreciation for classic beauty.
Motherhood Was Always in the Plans
Even before their highly publicized wedding, Culpo expressed her eagerness to start a family. She previously shared her desire to have children as soon as she and McCaffrey got married, stating that she wanted to “start trying immediately.”
Her sisters, Sophia and Aurora Culpo, have already noticed changes in Olivia’s lifestyle as she prepares for motherhood. In an interview, Aurora, who has two children of her own, observed that Olivia’s interior decorating choices have shifted away from all-white and beige, signaling a more family-friendly approach.
Sophia added that Olivia’s perfectionist nature might be challenged by parenthood, but she has no doubt that her sister will be a devoted and well-prepared mother. Aurora even joked that Olivia is “probably already picking out her children’s preschool and might even be on a waitlist.”
With their love story unfolding in the public eye, fans are eagerly awaiting the next chapter of Culpo and McCaffrey’s journey into parenthood. Their shared excitement and support from family suggest they are well-prepared for this beautiful new phase of life.
