Olivia Culpo is openly addressing the challenges of postpartum body image as she navigates motherhood during football season. In a TikTok video shared on November 9, 2023, the 33-year-old model expressed her thoughts on wearing tight jeans while attending a game to support her husband, Christian McCaffrey, who plays for the San Francisco 49ers.
Culpo, who welcomed her daughter, Collette, in July 2023 via C-section, shared her candid struggles with body changes. “All of my jeans are still so tight,” she remarked while showcasing her game day outfit. “These used to be loose. It’s OK, we’re doing the best that we can.” Her light-wash denim paired with a custom white T-shirt featuring McCaffrey’s name and a pair of brown suede ankle boots highlighted her commitment to both style and comfort.
During the video, Culpo humorously noted the difficulties of nursing while maintaining a chic appearance. She mentioned, “The problem with this shirt is breast-feeding. I’m not going to be able to have her.” This practicality reflects the adjustments new mothers often make when incorporating their children into daily activities.
Culpo attended the game with Collette, who sported a charming corduroy jumper adorned with the phrase “Game Day.” This outing was not just about football; it also marked a significant moment for the family as they balance personal and professional lives. The couple has been together since 2019 and married in 2024, just a year before Collette joined their family.
In previous appearances, Culpo has discussed how she adapts her wardrobe for breastfeeding. During a game in September, she opted for an oversized jacket to address her insecurities regarding her postpartum figure. “I’m breast-feeding, so I need easy access to the boobs. I’m wearing bodysuit,” she said, emphasizing her need for practicality while staying stylish.
McCaffrey has publicly praised Culpo’s transition into motherhood. In an August interview with the NFL Network, he expressed gratitude for her efforts, stating, “I feel guilty at times… I’m super thankful for her and she’s doing an incredible job.” His support highlights the couple’s partnership as they navigate the demands of parenthood together.
As Culpo continues to share her journey, she resonates with many new mothers who face similar challenges. By embracing her postpartum body and candidly discussing her experiences, she fosters a sense of community and support among those adjusting to life after childbirth.
