49ers star RB Christian McCaffrey gets engaged to longtime girlfriend and former Miss Universe Ol

49ers star running back Christian McCaffrey and his girlfriend Olivia Culpo are engaged!

The 2012 Miss Universe shared this happy news on her Instagram on Friday. Olivia Culpo shared the announcement with beautiful images of the couple with the caption “♾️4.2.23♾️.” In the photos, McCaffrey was down on one knee as he asked the question every girl is eager to hear. Olivia looked completely shocked in the images as the running back popped the question.

Christian McCaffrey proposed while the couple was on a getaway in Utah, which made it even more special. The two have been dating for the last four years after being set up by a friend.

Olivia Culpo previously dated Danny Ammnedola and Tim Tebow and was done dating athletes, but McCaffrey was like a breath of fresh air for her. “He’s just the best, I feel like he is really everything that I could ever ask for,” she told Entertainment Tonight last November. “So I never have to worry about anything. I think that was the reason why I didn’t want to date an athlete, no offense, because there is a reputation there.”

Christian McCaffrey came as a blessing in disguise for the 49ers

Christian McCaffrey was selected eighth overall by Carolina Panthers in the 2017 NFL draft. After being away from the gridiron for two seasons in 2020 and 2021, the Panthers traded him mid-season last year to the 49ers.

Once he landed in San Francisco, the 49ers’ dead-looking season was revamped and he completely dominated for the remainder of the season. In the 11 games McCaffrey played for the 49ers, he had 746 rushing yards and six touchdowns.

In the Week 8 game against the Rams, Christian McCaffrey became the first 49ers running back and the fourth overall in the league to record a passing, rushing, and receiving touchdown in a single game.

Christian McCaffrey is one of the best running backs in the league and his ability to find an opening in heavy traffic has been great for the 49ers in the previous season. San Francisco is shaping up to be one of the most dangerous offenses in the NFC. However, the quarterback situation still remains to be a problem for the team. Although almost all of the players connected well with Brock Purdy during the 2022 season.

Purdy is currently undergoing surgery on his right below and his recovery time will lead to him missing a lot of games. Trey Lance has recovered from his season-ending injury but isn’t battle-tested like Purdy. It’ll be interesting to see which of these young gunslingers does the 49ers name as the starter of the 2023 season.
