Interestingly, this will be the second wedding-related news about Purdy, considering his teammate got married just a week before.
Christian McCaffrey Marries Former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo
Last weekend saw Niners star Christian McCaffrey tie the knot with famous supermodel Olivia Culpo. The Rhode Island wedding was a star-studded affair, with the likes of Kyle Shanahan, Kyle Juszczyk, George Kittle, Greg Olsen, Devon Windsor, and Shane Gillis, among others, in attendance, leading to netizens dubbing it a Rhode Island “Royal Wedding.”
The wedding story of the couple is a tale of devotion and fate, as one might call it. They first met in 2019 on a blind date. However, things didn’t move further. Olivia then went on to date swimmer Ryan Lochte, and NFL players Tim Tebow and Danny Amendola.
After three failed relationships with athletes, the former Miss Universe made her mind up in 2022 that she would never date an athlete again. But as luck would have it, she met CMC again, got engaged last April, and now they are husband and wife.
Stories like these reinforce faith in love and fate. The couple truly had a magical twist of fate, which strengthens the popular notion that marriages are made in heaven. Here’s hoping that CMC and Culpo have a wonderful life ahead, and also hoping for the best of wishes for Whitney Purdy and Schmidt!
