Who is Olivia Culpo? 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey injured during NFC West Division playoff game vs Seattle Seahawks with wife and baby girl present

The San Francisco 49ers faced NFC West Division rival Seattle Seahawks in the playoff game on Saturday (January 17, 2026) on their road to Super Bowl LX (which is taking place on their home field, Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, next month). The challenge on Saturday night was big for the 49ers, as the team was jolted by injuries to their top players, including George Kittle, Fred Warner, and Nick Bosa, according to Sports Illustrated (SI).

As the pressure mounted, all eyes were on 49ers star running back Christian McCaffrey, but matters worsened when the Seattle Seahawks advanced to the NFC Championship Game with a dominant 41–6 victory, and McCaffrey suffered an injury.

McCaffrey, for whom Saturday night was supposed to be special as his wife, Olivia Culpo, was in attendance, took a painful turn after the star player got injured in the first half of Saturday's NFC divisional playoff game before returning in the second half.


McCaffrey sustained a stinger in the second quarter, according to the 49ers, and returned late in the third quarter after being ruled questionable to return. He collided with Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones IV on a pass intended for McCaffrey in the second quarter.

McCaffrey was not on the field for San Francisco's opening drive of the second half. He had nine carries for 29 yards as well as five receptions for 39 receiving yards in the first half. According to Sports Illustrated (SI), she brought their baby girl named Colette Annalise McCaffrey along with her to the game to support McCaffrey in person.

Culpo steals the spotlight

In a TikTok video posted by Culpo on Saturday, she was seen in her full outfit. Her outfit comprised a black bodysuit and white shoes. She teamed her look with a full-body 49ers coat that she noted was from Offseason. It is the company of fellow 49ers WAG Kristin Juszczyk's clothing company.

She and McCaffrey's child made an appearance at the end of the video, which showed that Culpo wouldn't be showing up empty-handed to support her star husband.
