Olivia Culpo put her in-laws on the map — thanks to her TikTok account.
The model is married to San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey. His parents — Lisa and Ed McCaffrey — previously made a rare appearance on Culpo’s social media account, causing fans to gush over their sweet relationship.
“Find a mother in law who matches your post game energy,” Culpo captioned an October 2023 TikTok that showed her dancing with Lisa while celebrating a 49ers win.
Lisa also made a second appearance in a “Get Ready With Me” TikTok when Culpo was preparing for one of Christian’s games.
“Do you really like him for real though? … You swear?” Lisa asked. Culpo replied, “It’s the real thing. It’s the real deal.”
Lisa then wanted to know “why” Culpo wanted to marry her son. “I’d have to write you a book,” she responded.
Culpo and Christian tied the knot in June 2024. She announced in March 2025 that the pair are expecting their first baby.

Lisa McCaffrey
Christian’s mom, Lisa, is a podcast host. She and football reporter Ashley Adamson are the voices behind the “Your Mom” podcast.
When it comes to having kids in the NFL, Lisa made it clear that she never pushed any of her sons to find success in sports.
“Who knows if they are going to be talented or not,” she told The Denver Post in 2015. “But I want them to be involved in what they love. If that’s books or music, that’s a good thing, too.”
Ed McCaffrey
Ed was also a professional football player. He was a wide receiver in the NFL for 13 seasons and played on the New York Giants from 1991 to 1993, the San Francisco 49ers in 1994 and the Denver Broncos from 1995 to 2003.
Christian, for his part, has shared how his dad prepared him to become a professional football player at 8 years old.
“He had us doing dynamic warmups dude. No sodas, bedtime 7:30,” Christian shared on the “Bussin’ With the Boys” podcast in March 2023. “They would take our phone ‘til I left for high school, at a time. He’s going to hate me for saying all this, but it worked.”
He added, “Diet was always important. Sleep was always important. Now, we were kids, man. We could go over to the friends’ house, it wasn’t anything like that. But when it came to sports and to school, it was, ‘Hey if you want to be here, here are the things you need to do.’”
