The legendary running back, Shannon Sharpe, also congratulated his “nephew” after hearing the big news. The 49ers player proposed to his girlfriend while they were on a getaway in Utah with their pup Oliver Sprinkles standing by!
How did Culpo and McCaffrey meet?
The two sparked romance rumors back in May 2019. CMC liked a photo of the model on Instagram. Then, a few months later, the two were seen taking a vacation to Mexico together.
Olivia had to break her rule against dating athletes again because she had doubts after her previous failed relationship. But McCaffrey was different.

The two met because they were set up by friends, as she once shared on their third anniversary. She also wrote that, though she wasn’t ready to date, she took the chance. “I’m so grateful for the voice inside me that told me to give love another chance,” she wrote. “The yin to my yang, you are the epitome of strength through humility. Thank you for being my rock and restoring my faith in love. You are everything I ever dreamed of and more.”
Despite having to be separated during football season, Culpo and McCaffrey’s relationship is based on deep faith, as she has stated.
Despite the distance they have to contend with as he travels, Culpo has supported McCaffrey since he was moved from the Carolina Panthers to the 49ers last year. The former Miss Universe praised her beau on Instagram after learning that he will be relocating to the West Coast.
