Olivia Culpo expecting first child after struggles with endometriosis

Olivia Culpo expecting first child: ‘Next chapter, motherhood’

Olivia Culpo is pregnant with her first child.

Miss Universe 2012 Olivia Culpo and her husband, football player Christian McCaffrey, are expecting their first baby nearly a year after they tied the knot

The beauty queen took to Instagram to share photos from her black-and-white maternity shoot in which she donned a flowing, pleated dress.

“Next chapter, motherhood [white heart emoji],” she wrote.

This comes after the actress-model opened up about her struggles with endometriosis, a condition that causes infertility.

“Endometriosis is a condition where tissue from the uterine lining decides to grow in other random parts of your body, causing pain. This can interfere with fertility and overall health and honestly – happiness,” she wrote in 2020. “I have been in agony for years […] I want to have kids, but I want to make sure that I can. It could be really hard for me to have babies.”

In a separate post, Culpo shared a video in which she and her husband are walking and kissing while caressing her baby bump.

The video also includes a snippet of the couple holding a sonogram and a special moment with their dog.

In the comments section, fans and celebrities including supermodel Gigi Hadid, Miss Universe 2023 Sheynnis Palacios and Hollywood actress Eiza Gonzalez extended their congratulations to the pair.

On her Instagram Story, Culpo also posted a close look at her baby bump with the caption, “Excited to officially bump around because this thing is really getting big [laughing out loud emoji].”
