San Francisco 49ers quarterback Christian McCaffrey’s ‘Sports Illustrated’ swimsuit wife, Oliva Culpo, flaunts enviably chiseled abs while bathing in a tub of yellow flower petals in a white string bikini.
The photo was part of a throwback that the brand did on the star, featuring two other looks: a sizzling French-cut one-piece and a skimpy, high-fashion look featuring an open front and halter design.
“Olivia Culpo joined the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit family back in 2019, and since then, she has delivered three back-to-back-to-back jaw-dropping features,” SI Swim captioned the Saturday, December 13 share to X (formerly Twitter).
An accompanying article showing the A-lister’s steamiest moments called her time with the magazine “unforgettable.”
The tropical bathtub moment was from the NFL WAG’s 2020 shoot in Bali, with famed photographer Yu Tsai.
“Culpo was utterly remarkable as she lay in a bed of vibrant yellow flowers,” reads the story, on Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. “Her white floral two-piece swimsuit was equally remarkable.”

During that same shoot, Culpo also sizzled in a “daring black strapless one-piece” that “was a surefire way to put us on to how a mesh black suit can make a bold statement,” says the outlet. “All Culpo had to do was kneel in the sand, strike a supermodel pose and wear this ultra bold swimsuit to create this unforgettable look.”
Culpo’s last appearance in the iconic swimwear magazine was the next year, in 2021. She became engaged to McCaffrey, 29, in April 2023 after the happy couple had been dating for several years. They married on June 29, 2024 and welcomed their first child, a daughter named Colette, in July.
