Who is Olivia Culpo’s ‘hot’ NFL fiancé, Christian McCaffrey? The San Francisco 49ers player met Miss Universe 2012 through friends, and thinks Taylor Swift’s BF Travis Kelce is ‘the coolest guy ever’
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce aren’t the only “It” couple in the NFL scene, though they certainly rank among the most prominent duos in the business.
But as the San Francisco 49ers gear up to take on the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl on February 11, the opposing teams are starting to stir some drama. Christian’s mother Lisa McCaffrey recently shared her opinion on Swift on the Your Mom podcast: “I refuse to listen to Taylor Swift songs for the next couple [of] days,” she said. “I love her, I love the relationship, but we are boycotting any T. Swift songs. She’s dead to us this week.”
Culpo, who has been engaged to McCaffrey since April 2023, is also super supportive of her handsome partner.
Here’s what you need to know about Olivia Culpo’s fiancé and their adorable relationship.

Born in Castle Rock, Colorado, McCaffrey currently plays as an American football running back for the San Francisco 49ers.

He comes from a sporty family
According to the 49ers website, McCaffrey hails from a family of American football players. His dad Ed was drafted by the New York Giants in 1991, and played with the 49ers and Denver Broncos. His three brothers also play the sport, either for the NFL as well, or at the university level.
He studied at Stanford
McCaffrey’s talents extend beyond the field.
According to Sportskeeda, the athlete studied at the prestigious Stanford University from 2014 to 2016, where he majored in communications, per Buff Zone.
He’s fond of Travis Kelce
In an appearance on a November 2023 episode of the B Scar TV Podcast, McCaffrey shared his opinion on the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, saying he believes he is “the coolest guy ever”.
He explained how, during the off season, Kelce drove by him in a car once while pumping his hand out the window and yelling, “C-Mac!”
“I don’t know him at all,” McCaffrey shared. “I know him zero. I knew him as much as I know anyone else that I’ve only met once.”
How did Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey meet?
Culpo and McCaffrey first sparked romance rumours back in 2019, per People.
In a 2022 Instagram post, the beauty pageant star shared their love story to celebrate their anniversary, explaining how they met through mutual friends. She wrote, “Three years ago, I was not looking for a relationship. When my best friends Kristen and Tyler called me and asked if I would be open to meeting their friend Christian, I was apprehensive. I was worried it would be the same old story all over again and that all guys were the same. While my expectations were low, I knew I couldn’t close myself off and make decisions based on fear.”
