Overview

  • Culpo and McCaffrey announced they were expecting a second child in May and Culpo is now in late pregnancy as she prepares for a planned repeat C‑section.
  • Culpo has said a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) was not an option because of her prior C‑section, so she scheduled another C‑section for a day when McCaffrey’s schedule is lighter so he can attend the birth.
  • Culpo has asked followers for tips on handling toddler care after a C‑section, saying she is worried about not being able to pick up or do usual routines with their daughter Colette during recovery.
  • She shared intimate family posts showing McCaffrey singing to Colette and an emotional reflection on missing the pregnancy, while noting he will fly back to 49ers duties the same day she gives birth.
  • Medical recovery from a repeat C‑section usually limits lifting and bending for weeks, which could require practical changes at home and highlights how elite sports schedules can complicate new‑parent logistics.
