Then, in June, Culpo shared details about the special moment when she and McCaffrey first found out they were expecting again, and how they told their families the happy news. In the beginning of the video, the expectant parents, who tied the knot in 2024, were seen waiting for the results of a pregnancy test. Together, the two turned the positive pregnancy test around, finding out that Culpo is pregnant again.
“You’re pregnant,” the NFL star said before the clip cut to the pair telling their family in different ways, including writing it on their daughter Colette’s onesie and having their family say the news while posing for a picture.
“Telling our family I’m pregnant again ❤️,” Culpo captioned the clip.

This past October, Culpo opened up about life at home with her baby daughter Colette. The new mom shared that she initially was worried that being a mom would make it challenging to continue her career.
“There’s totally a shift,” she admitted of becoming a mother during an episode of The Squeeze podcast. “Whether or not you want there to be or not, you have somebody that’s physically dependent on you. So I’m not going to sugarcoat it. Yeah, it’s scary.”
However, Culpo explained that she’s been able to lean on her NFL player husband while she’s navigated finding a balance between working and motherhood.
“I’m so grateful that I have my husband because while I’m totally working and I’m doing everything in my power to keep working and I’m so happy to have the opportunities that I have,” said Culpo. “Let’s say they all went away — would I have the same ability 10, 12, 15, 20 years ago to light that fire up my butt when I have somebody who really needs me, which is my baby? No.”
“And I would choose my baby 10 times over, obviously,” she added.
