Two weeks after welcoming his first child into the world, San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey<\/strong> is sharing how life has been as a new dad so far.<\/p>\n McCaffrey\u2019s wife, model and former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo<\/strong>, announced their <\/a>daughter\u2019s birth on Sunday, July 13. The couple named their baby girl Colette Annalise.<\/p>\n Despite welcoming a daughter into the world just weeks ago, McCaffrey had to report to training camp for the upcoming NFL season.<\/p>\n While Culpo has shared updates on her recovery and the first several days of Colette\u2019s life on her personal Instagram stories, McCaffrey opened up about his daughter during a training camp press conference.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m calling cloud nine ever since she was born,\u201d McCaffrey told NFL reporters<\/a>. \u201cAnd, you know, it\u2019s definitely been special for me, life changing, that\u2019s for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n The 29-year-old athlete then gave Culpo, 33, a shout out.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I\u2019m just, I\u2019m grateful for my wife. She does a great job, you know, letting me still keep football going, and working my butt off. And so it\u2019s been great and such a blessing,\u201d McCaffrey added.<\/p>\n According to InStyle<\/a>, McCaffrey and Culpo were set up by a mutual friend in 2019, despite not wanting to date an athlete.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s just the best, I feel like he is really everything that I could ever ask for,\u201d Culpo told Entertainment Tonight<\/a> in 2022. \u201cSo I never have to worry about anything. I think that was the reason why I didn\u2019t want to date an athlete, no offense because there is a reputation there.\u201d She continued, \u201cHe just comes from a great family. We have a lot in common in that respect. I feel like you can really tell who a person is by the people that raise them, and I just love his parents so much. They have a great relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n
