Story summary

Christian McCaffrey and his wife Olivia Culpo announced in late September 2026 that they welcomed their second child, a son named Roman, born via cesarean section on September 29. Culpo chose the delivery date knowing that McCaffrey would be off work due to a break between two 49ers home games, allowing him maximum time with his newborn. However, once he returned to work, McCaffrey joked during an interview with CBS Sports' Matt Lively about sleeping well while his wife was recovering in Los Angeles. The running back said, "My family is down in LA right now, while my wife is recovering," adding cheekily, “Don’t tell her this: I’m sleeping fantastic.” This light-hearted comment highlights the disparity between McCaffrey's and Culpo’s current situations as she recovers from childbirth with their two young children.
