Touchdowns and Tiaras: The Princess of Plays Is Coming Soon
Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffery have once again stolen the spotlight– and for good reason. The two, Miss Universe and Mr. MVP, announced their pregnancy at the beginning of this week, and we could not be more thrilled. Yet, some of us need a refresher on this drop-dead gorgeous couple’s timeline. How did they go from runways and rushing yards to their fairytale romance?

It all started with a mutual friend back in 2019. A lesson for all of us: Keep your friendships tight, and you might end up with a pageant queen or football king. Rumors sparked, and flirty vibes blossomed as Christian began liking Olivia’s Instagram posts. Months later, the couple was spotted together in Mexico (probably on a vacation), and from then on, they appeared together.

Their first public outing was in February 2020 at a red carpet event, the NFL Honors ceremony in Miami, Florida. Football fans were crushed at the sight of the handsome Christian and stunning Olivia but have since turned the jealous cheek and flooded her Instagram comment section with heart eyes and compliments.

Further down the line, they adopted Oliver Sprinkles, their goldendoodle. Oliver Sprinkles is an influencer of his own with 24.4k followers on Instagram @oliversprinkles. Sharing posts captioned, “My pawrents are getting married!!! 🤍”, we cannot wait for the collab with his new baby sister or brother.

In April of 2023, the two stars got engaged in Utah during a vacation. In the pictures the two of them posted, we can see that Christian didn’t propose with a rock but rather a boulder. The ring was as dazzling and as incredible as themselves. A little less than a year later, in June of 2024, they tied the knot. In Olivia’s home state of Rhode Island, she wore a marvelous Dolce and Gabbana gown, making the cover of several articles– which is no surprise.
As these two continue to make milestones not only together in their marriage but also in their independent careers, we can’t get enough. This spring, their love is in full bloom, and each of us is ready to sit back and take in the fresh flowers.
