Olivia Culpo’s loved ones toasted to the bride-to-be this weekend as her wedding to Christian McCaffrey nears.
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit alum, 32, enjoyed a dreamy bridal shower in Malibu, where guests made their own bouquets from “Olivia’s Bloom Bar” and dined against a scenic outdoor backdrop, according to posts shared on social media.
Joined by friends and family, including sisters Aurora and Sophia, Culpo also shared an intimate moment with fiancé McCaffrey, 27, who made a “special appearance.”
“I adore you @christianmccaffrey,” Culpo gushed in an Instagram post, sweetly calling him “husband” in another.
First linked in 2019, the star 49ers running back proposed to Culpo last April, presenting the model with a stunning oval-cut engagement ring from Ring Concierge that featured side stones.
McCaffrey popped the question months before San Francisco’s dominant 2023 season, in which the 49ers finished at 12-5 and reached the Super Bowl.
Ahead of the championship matchup against the Chiefs in Las Vegas, the former first-round draft pick lauded Culpo for tackling much of the wedding planning.
“She’s done a hell of a job,” McCaffrey told “Extra” in February.
“She’s definitely steering the ship when it comes to anything regarding the wedding as of now, but I give my input when needed, but obviously her style is unbelievable and everything she wants I also like, so it’s going really well. I’m so thankful I have someone like her who’s not just supporting me the way she is, but also handling all stuff like that, allowing me to do what I love in the moment while she’s still working on her career as well.”
Culpo supported McCaffrey at Super Bowl 2024, where the 49ers lost to the Chiefs in overtime, 25-22.
In the weeks following the game, Culpo reflected on the season while looking to the future.
“Thanking God for a healthy season and for putting my best friend on this earth. Now let’s get married!” she posted on Instagram in February.
Earlier this month, Culpo spoke to People about the one thing she and McCaffrey won’t be doing on their big day.
“I know for sure we’re not going to do a first look, so he won’t see me until I’m walking down the aisle, I think that that’s a little less common these day,” she said.
McCaffrey is now entering his second full season with the 49ers.
The three-time Pro Bowler began his career with the Panthers in 2017 when he was drafted eighth overall out of Stanford.
He was traded to the 49ers in October 2022.
