The Super Bowl LVIII lineup is official, and it’s looking like there’s going to be a lot of familiar faces in the crowd. This year, the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs will be competing for the title of Super Bowl LVIII champions. The highly anticipated event airs live on Sunday, Feb. 11 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. People are already hoping Taylor Swift will be there supporting Travis Kelce, but people are also hoping they see another familiar face in the stands supporting the 49ers. Yes, I’m talking about model and actress Olivia Culpo cheering on her fiancé, Christian McCaffery.
Culpo is an actress, influencer, and model. She and her sisters, Sophia and Aurora, even had a reality TV show called The Culpo Sisters, which gave an inside look into their lives. She’s also most known for winning Miss Universe in 2012, as well as her previous relationship with Nick Jonas.
Culpo is no stranger to the football field. Several of her past partners have been football players, and her most recent, Christian McCaffrey, the 49ers running back, is so cute. In the past, Culpo has dated NFL quarterback Tim Tebow and then-New England Patriots wide receiver Danny Amendola. Despite Culpo saying she would “never date athletes again” after her past experiences, McCaffrey was an exception, and clearly, the engaged couple is happier than ever.
