Olivia Culpo proudly supported her husband, NFL star Christian McCaffrey, as his team secured a dramatic playoff victory on Sunday. The San Francisco 49ers defeated the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles 23-19 in a tense NFC Wild Card showdown, with Culpo cheering from the sidelines at Lincoln Financial Field.
A Victory Celebrated with Passion
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model and former beauty queen documented the emotional day, sharing a series of stunning photos with her followers. One particularly intimate snapshot sent fans into a frenzy, capturing the NFL power couple in a steamy embrace inside the visitors' locker room after the game. In the photo, Culpo is seen tenderly holding McCaffrey's face and leaning in for a kiss as the running back gazes down at her lovingly.
Fashion and Camaraderie on the Sidelines
Before the crucial game, Culpo turned the sidelines into her personal catwalk. Braving the frigid East Coast chill, the stunning brunette wore an eye-catching floor-length fur coat paired with chocolate brown leather gloves. She was also pictured celebrating the hard-fought win with fellow 49ers WAGs, including Jenna Purdy (wife of quarterback Brock Purdy), Kristin Juszczyk, Claire Kittle, and Ally Kendricks, wife of linebacker Eric Kendricks.
Nerves and Family Sacrifice
In a TikTok video ahead of the kickoff, Culpo admitted to feeling immense pressure. "I'm so nervous," she confessed, adding, "I didn't sleep." She highlighted the high stakes: "If we lose this game we're out of the playoffs and if we win, we keep going - very, very important that we win this." The trip was also emotionally charged as it marked the first time she spent a night away from the couple's six-month-old daughter, Colette.
Her husband certainly delivered on the field. Christian McCaffrey played a pivotal role in the comeback victory, hauling in two crucial touchdowns. Although held to 48 rushing yards on 15 carries, he added 66 receiving yards on six catches. The winning score came from quarterback Brock Purdy, who connected with McCaffrey on a 4-yard touchdown pass with just 2:54 remaining on the clock. Culpo summarised her pride simply in her social media caption: "Proud of you @christianmccaffrey."
