Olivia Culpo Calls Pregnancy Weight 'Noise' and Reveals Her True Intent

Olivia Culpo, the former Miss Universe and reality‑TV star, set the record straight on TikTok Wednesday about the weight gain many of her fans had noticed during her pregnancy. She told viewers that she takes pride in “growing a baby” and dismisses the chatter as background noise.

The 34‑year‑old is now 37 weeks pregnant with Christian McCaffrey’s second child.

In her video, Culpo replied to comments that she “really blows up” while expecting. She assured her audience she has “no need to be worried” about her appearance, even as people around her are getting thinner. She emphasized that the only thing under her control is how she serves her newborn.

Culpo also praised her husband’s support, calling him “so in shape … and just so annoyingly perfect in every single way.” He encouraged her to “give herself a year” of grace. She reminded followers that motherhood is the most selfless act one can do, even if it means gaining weight.

## Background & Context

Culpo welcomed her daughter Colette in July 2025, and the second pregnancy was completely unexpected. In May, she posted on TikTok that she had just begun to “get her groove back” after giving birth and noticed abs forming—an indication that the body was not behaving as it usually does during pregnancy.

The couple announced their new life‑expectant status on Instagram in May, following a relationship that began in 2019, an engagement in 2023, and a wedding in June 2024.

The NFL player’s career schedule has added an extra layer of public interest. Culpo explained that while he will be present at her scheduled C‑section, he must leave the same day for a game, highlighting the logistical challenges of balancing a high‑profile sports career with new parenthood.

## What People Are Saying

Culpo addressed the comparison of her body to other mothers’ by saying, “A lot of people — including myself — compare, like, ‘Oh, this person got so skinny so fast,'” while she applied makeup. She explained that “you don’t know if that person was breastfeeding. You don’t know what that person’s supply was like.

You don’t know what that person’s labor was like.” This remark underscored how external judgments often ignore the realities of postpartum recovery.

She also highlighted her gratitude toward McCaffrey’s attendance at the C‑section, remarking, “I should be grateful because some guys legitimately miss the birth of their child,” and that “at least I get to plan that it’s a C‑section.” The couple’s public posts focus on preparing for the baby rather than the body’s changes.

Culpo closed her TikTok message with a broader statement: “The only thing you can control is what you’re doing as a mother for your child.” “Everything else is just noise,” she concluded, reinforcing her intention to prioritize her baby's health over societal expectations.

## What Happens Next

The exact date of Culpo’s scheduled C‑section has not yet been disclosed, though it will occur soon given her 37‑week gestation. McCaffrey’s presence on the day of the surgery is confirmed, but he must depart for a game afterward.

Both parents are reportedly preparing for the arrival of their second child, focusing on health and family logistics.

As the due date approaches, public interest remains high, but Culpo has consistently chosen to focus her commentary on her baby's wellbeing rather than her own physical appearance. Her social‑media strategy reflects a deliberate shift toward celebrating motherhood while rejecting unsolicited body shaming.

In the weeks ahead, fans can expect updates from the couple as they welcome their newest addition, and Olivia Culpo will likely continue to use her platform to promote positivity and self‑acceptance during pregnancy.
