Olivia Culpo is experiencing some pretty unexpected pregnancy cravings!
The 32-year-old model, who’s expecting her first child with NFL star Christian McCaffrey, has revealed that she can’t get enough of salads during her pregnancy. As surprising as it may sound, Culpo’s craving for leafy greens is something that caught her husband, Christian, off guard. In an interview with People, McCaffrey, who plays for the San Francisco 49ers, confessed, “She’s been craving salads… I never knew that was a thing. I don’t know what it is about the leaves, but she’s been craving them”!
This pregnancy craving has certainly surprised McCaffrey, who never imagined that salads would become a major part of his wife’s diet during this special time. However, it’s just one of the many changes Culpo has been embracing as she journeys into motherhood.
The couple, who tied the knot in 2024, is already preparing for their baby’s arrival, but Christian has clarified it that he’s been deeply impressed by how Olivia has handled the pregnancy so far. He shared, “I’m very lucky. I have an amazing wife who’s been so great during her whole pregnancy and has made the process look easy, even though I know it’s not. And so I’m just excited to do it with her.”
While Olivia’s cravings may be unique, her experience has also deepened her appreciation for her own mother. In another interview, Culpo shared how becoming pregnant has given her a newfound respect for the support her mom has provided during the early months of her pregnancy. “It’s just an ironic thought that you need your mom the most when you’re about to become a mom,” Olivia reflected, highlighting just how vital her mom’s help has been throughout the process.
Both Olivia and Christian have been doing their homework ahead of becoming parents. Christian has been researching and asking plenty of questions of other parents, but he’s realized that each pregnancy journey is different. “Everybody’s experience is different,” he acknowledged. Despite all the prep work, McCaffrey knows that nothing can fully prepare them for the experience of parenthood, but they’re committed to navigating it together.
As they wait for their baby to arrive, Olivia’s surprising cravings are just one of many interesting moments in this exciting chapter of their lives. It’s clear that both she and Christian are feeling more prepared and connected than ever, looking forward to becoming parents together.
