Olivia Culpo is bringing attention to her future in-laws through her TikTok account. Engaged to San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey, the model has featured his parents, Lisa and Ed McCaffrey, in a rare appearance on her social media, prompting fans to swoon over their endearing relationship.
Olivia posted a TikTok in October 2023, dancing with Lisa while celebrating a 49ers win, captioned with "Find a mother-in-law who matches your post-game energy." Lisa also appeared in a "Get Ready With Me" TikTok, helping the model prepare for one of Christian's games.
“Do you really like him for real though? … You swear?” Lisa asked. Olivia replied, “It’s the real thing. It’s the real deal.”

Lisa then wanted to know “why” Olivia wanted to marry her son. “I’d have to write you a book,” the model responded.
Christian has recounted numerous aspects of his life prior to becoming an NFL star, particularly how his father groomed him for a career in professional football at just 8 years old.
"He had us doing dynamic warmups, man. No sodas, bedtime at 7:30," Christian revealed on the "Bussin' With the Boys" podcast in March 2023. "They would confiscate our phones until I left for high school, for a period of time. He's probably going to be annoyed that I'm sharing all of this, but it definitely paid off."
He emphasized the importance of diet and sleep, especially when it came to sports and school. As kids, they were free to go to friends' houses, but they had to prioritize their health and responsibilities at home. Keep reading for more information about Christian's family.
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 raising kids in the NFL, Lisa emphasized that she never pressured her sons to excel in sports.
"I don't know if they'll have talent or not," she shared with The Denver Post in 2015. "But I want them to pursue their passions. Whether that's through books or music, that's a positive thing as well."
Ed McCaffrey
Ed had a successful career as a professional football player, serving as a wide receiver in the NFL for 13 seasons. He played for the New York Giants from 1991 to 1993, the San Francisco 49ers in 1994, and the Denver Broncos from 1995 to 2003.
