Culpo and McCaffrey, who tied the knot in June 2024 in the influencer's home state of Rhode Island, announced that they are expecting their first baby together back in March. They shared the news in a post on Instagram. "Next chapter, motherhood 🤍," Culpo wrote alongside black-and-white photos from her maternity shoot.
Culpo could be seen wearing a flowy dress, kneeling as she placed a hand under her belly. In a second photo, Culpo turned towards the camera and placed a hand on her hip.
In May, Culpo spoke with PEOPLE and shared the first thing she wants to eat after she gives birth to her little one.
"I definitely really want champagne," the model told PEOPLE. "Champagne and whatever else comes with it, I'll be excited to eat it."
She also shared that as her due date gets closer, she's feeling ready to meet her little one.
"I feel as ready as I will ever feel," Culpo said. "I still have to do all of the nitty-gritty [things like] pack the hospital bag and things like that. But yes, I feel very excited and just mostly grateful to be where I am in my pregnancy."
At the time, Culpo told PEOPLE that she's most excited for the newborn phase with her little one.
"I love the 8 to 10 week age," she said. "Eight to 12 really because it's when they start smiling and they can see you, but they're still so cuddly and sleeping on your chest. The best bonding time, in my opinion."
"So I'm very excited for the newborn phase, which I know is daunting. And maybe as a new mom, I'll change my mind. It's my first time at this, so we'll see if I change my mind on that," admitted Culpo. "But I do really love that cuddly age. And then when they start smiling, it's so special."
