“Christian’s leaving for the season. So sad,” she said. “Everything feels overwhelming. Plan is I’m having a C-section because I had a C-section in July last year, so having a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) wasn’t an option.”
She shared that she scheduled the C-section on a day when McCaffrey, 30, has a “slightly easier” schedule.
“Basically, it’s on an off day for him, so he’ll be able to come just for the birth,” explained Culpo. “And then aside from that, he’ll have to go back. So it’s gonna be different than my first birth.”
Because she will be without her husband following her baby’s birth, Culpo said she is “grateful” for her “village and large security detail.”

Culpo and McCaffrey, who tied the knot in June 2024, announced that they were expecting baby number two on Friday, May 8, Culpo’s 34th birthday.
